It has the ATI stock and 20rd mag. I'll pick it up on 2/2 (pay day) This is a stock photo. I'll post my own when I pick it up and pump a few rounds through it. Rick Hey, why is it so hot? And what am I doing in this handbasket?

Posts: 31 Feb 2 10 3:32 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Picked up my new mini today and walked into the range to have some fun. First, the stock is a Ruger branded Strikeforce rather than ATI. Has the eagle logo stamped on it. I showed up with 3 promag 30's and 100 rds of .223 to play with. She seems to shoot well straight out of the box. I just checked the bore for obstructions and started shooting paper BG's. The range is only 25 yards, so I did what I could. stock iron sights, 55gr PMC ammo. The first 20 were the bottom target, slow fire, then up and up for the next 2 mags. The top target was rapid fire The trigger is a little stiff, but OK. One of the promag 30's failed to feed the top round and needed a little tap on the bolt to chamber it. Otherwise, no problems and about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Oh, I also installed the cheek rest before the last mag. Feels fine and is adjustable if I decide to add optics. Rick Hey, why is it so hot? And what am I doing in this handbasket?
