I had a series 189 mini 30 that was really decent but the versatility of 300 is what drew me to it. It's difficult to find variety x39 ammo for sub use or hunting use or that's extremely accurate.since nj does not allow suppressors, what a shock, I see no purpose for me to have a 300 versus 7.62x39 mini.
What? 122, 123, or 124gr isn't variety?I had a series 189 mini 30 that was really decent but the versatility of 300 is what drew me to it. It's difficult to find variety x39 ammo for sub use or hunting use or that's extremely accurate.

It's a fact that both calibers benefit a great deal from handloading your own.What? 122, 123, or 124gr isn't variety?.

Yep. Very true. I have dies for x39 but have yet to do anything by my hand. I used to load 300BO.It's a fact that both calibers benefit a great deal from handloading your own.
In fact, that can be said for every caliber.
Good choice on the Tech Sight. Got it on both of my Minis. I also put the Tech Sight IRAS aperture on the sights. It allows changing out the size of the aperture hole. Helps for us "older eyes" guys.Nice piece you've got there! I picked mine up in mid-January, and have about 450rds on it now. I've had to 'zero' it at least three times because the rear aperture keeps coming loose.
I've ordered a new aperture from Tech Sight which should fix the problem. Although I have a Redfield red dot for it (a mistake!), I want my irons working. I have no intention of getting a scope for this rifle as I intend it for 30 to 90 yard work.
Enjoy your new Mini!
Where are you in central GA?Very nice Mini-14 USMC6174. Sure would like to try this out for myself!!! I need one of these to go with my other 2 Mini Tactical models. I sure would like to meet up with you on the Range when you try this out. Looks like we are neighbors practically, LOL.
Man zeroing these iron sights are a pain. I still need to tweak them a bit.Nice piece you've got there! I picked mine up in mid-January, and have about 450rds on it now. I've had to 'zero' it at least three times because the rear aperture keeps coming loose.
