This poll does not make much sense. I have not seen your previous question. The Mini-14 was made to look like a M-14 but the action is quite different, closer to a AR-15's. They kick a little more than most .223s. They are not as accurate as most other .223s, despite Dewman's 800 yard coyote wounding. They are very reliable. They look pretty nice and are fairly inexpensive. High cap magazines are somewhat scarce and expensive, because they are not AR-15/M-16 compatible. The Mini-14 has several options, such as stainless steel. They also used to have snazzy folding stocks.
