The best Ruger Mini I've ever seen would not break 2 inches at a hundred yards. The worst was about 10 inches. They are notoriously inaccurate. Plus, hi-cap magazines are harder to find and more expensive (doubly true for 7.62x39). Then finally, I'm not sure if this is still the case, but a good while the Ruger barrel was actually .308 in diameter whereas the 7.62x39 is actually .311. That caused some accuracy and reliability issues.

Nothing wrong with the Ruger and I like it a lot, but if I were going to get a 7.62x39, it is the last rifle I would get chambered in that cartridge.
