What bore is the mini-30 running? I have heard both .308 and .310/311 mentioned.

My 1980's mini-14 Ranch Rifle was about a 2 - 2.5 inch gun at 100 yards, scoped. I must have been one of the lucky ones, because I had (still have) two 20 round pro-mags that were actually reliable in that gun. I later put it in a Choate folding stock. Sold it to pay for a H&K 93 that replaced it. Had an FFL buddy order that H&K 93, with collapsible stock, for me. $499.00. Also ordered a H&K 91 at the same time, same price. Man, those were the days.....

Wanted to add, several years ago, I seen a guy with one of the new mini-14 factory target rifles at my local range, and he was shooting sub one inch groups at 100 meters. I was impressed.
