.I bought a used stainless steel Ruger Mini14 back in the 80s to carry on the boat. That thing was deadly accurate out to maybe 5 yards, I had the sights adjusted as far as they would go and never could dial it in, so it lived under the bed for years. Took it to a LGS here to see if he could work with it and he "wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole." Traded it in on my M&P9c and never looked back.
