    I took my Mini-G to the range today and shot a box of Federal "168 gr. Sierra Matchking BTHP". My first 3-round group at 100 yards was 7 1/2 - 9 1/2 high, so I dialed it down 7 clicks--as low as it would go; that was about right for most shots, though I'd still get moderately high groups. I shot six 3-round groups in total:

    Group 1 - 7 in. (center target)
    Group 2 - 5 in. (also center)
    Group 3 - 4 in. (lower left)
    Group 4 - 3 1/4 in. (lower right)
    Group 5 - 5 1/4 in. (upper left)
    Group 6 - 2 3/4 in. (upper right)

    This is my first rifle with an aperature sight, and this was my first time shooting it. Lighting was adequate but not ideal, and generally I could only see the front sight and not the wings on the side as I aimed. I'd like to get someone with experience shooting Garands to shoot my Mini-G and see what their groups look like. Initially I wasn't too happy with my shooting (not that I'm a top shooter), but as I measured the groups and saw the steady improvement (with the exception of group 5, when I know I pulled on of my shots), I figure I may have a real shooter here once I figure out what I'm doing. I'd be interested in any informed opinions.

    P.S. - I should add that this Mini-G caught the interest of several old-timers at the range. =)

    How many rounds have you fired since the action was out of the stock? My Garand needs ~30 to completely settle in.

    Others with more experience will be along shortly...

    Good question cuppednlocked. I probably only shot a total of 30-35 rounds since receiving my Mini-G, culminating in the 18 pictured above.

    Almost 4 months with no new posts. There HAS to be some Mini Gs around here that have yet to grace these hallowed pages.

    Just got my Mini-G back from Tim today.. It was a standard Mini-G that I sent back and had Tim install a Drop Down Gas Cylinder from Standard Parts and straighten the Oprod so I could install an Ultimak mount (without the need for Tim to mill the oprod and mount) and a Leupold FXII 2.5X scout scope on QRW Low rings. With this setup I get a good chin weld, the rear sight is visable in the bottom 1/3 of the FOV, but disappears when you focus on the target through the scope.

    Range report will follow in a month or so after we thaw out a bit here in the northeast..
