Thoughts on accurizing a mini-14?

Kadaver
ok....i have a mini-14 (not the ranch)....its basically your all-around assult rifle....folding stock, high caps yada yada...and no scope...i was thinking of accurizing my 10/22 but would like more range and power....at this point i have no interest or the money to buy another rifle i.e. AR-15....so its either this or nothing.....im looking to be able to nail a coffee can sized targets anywhere from 300-500 yards (optimally)...i can get a pretty decent scope system going for $150....6-24X40mm/B-square mount...but i need help in the barrel area.....any suggestions......i would like to install it myself (if possible). i would also like to keep the existing stock and buy a barrel that has a standard sized barrel with the bull end on it....if ya know what i mean......willing to go $150-200 max.any suggestions?Thanks

    You must be a gluton for punishment - but if you want to spend money "accurizing" a Mini there are people who can help and will happily take your money. They promise sub-moa accuracy from the mini-14/mini-30. Accuracy Rifle System, Odessa, Texas 915-362-6840 http://www.mini-14.net/ Another one is http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/

    Yep, by the time you get done you could have bought a nice AR type rifle. I went down this path once with a friend, things that made a big difference in the mini are a trigger job and over travel stop. Try those, you won't be out a wad of cash and you might like the results.

    Don't get a b-sqaure mount, if you want to hold a zero. Get a reciever mount either a leupold or weaver type that would have to be drilled and tapped into the reciever itself. The ones that slide into that little side thing suck.Two inexpensive things that make a differencfe to accurize your gun is:1) Trigger job2) Firelap BoreThe other thing you can do is start handloading, find a combination of bullet and powder your gun seems to like then work on bullet seating depth.
