I just traded a full size Springfield Range Officer for a Mini 14 Tactical (model 5847) myself a couple weeks ago. Got 14 Ruger mags (a mix of 5, 10, and mostly 20rd) with it and a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x32 scope (already sighted in). Sweet rifle. I'll echo staying away from green tip. Mine is more accurate with 55gr ammo, even steel cased. Haven't had a FTF or FTE yet with anything I've fed it.
