Hi I am looking at buying a ruger mini 14, it is a 196 series. From what I have read on the internet is that the 196s suffer from the mini 14s "lack of accuracy". So I am hoping I can get the imput from both 190 series owners and 580 series owners to see if I should buy the old or the new. Now I am not going to use this as a target gun or anything just more of a plinker. Thanks Ramick.
