How dare someone say some positive things about a rifle other than an AR?! Rabble rabble rabble!
Just wish they were a tad more accurate, might consider making one into a fun little coyote/varmint gun.
I will keep my Colt AR 15 hand built in Texas that shoots bullets into bullet holes at 100 yards. If I want to quickly switch to a 300 Blackout platform, I have that available. If I want something bigger, then the 458 will do the job. The mini-14 is a beautiful gun, but I will keep my Colt CRX all day long.
