I had a Mini in the '90s that at a hundred yards could barely hold "minute of Monte Carlo." I had a Monte Carlo hood that I had replaced, and set it out at 100 yards with a 6" white aiming point painted on it. I sent 100 deliberate rounds down range and got 87 hits. The next week I bought a new $86 Russian SKS and dumped the Mini. Best investment I ever made, as the SKS turned out to be an Izzy and it's still in new condition.
