There's a distance where it's no longer fair chase; therefore it's not hunting and just becomes target practice on an animal.

Leupold VX-Freedom 2-7x33
Fixed Parallax-Free Distance: 150 Yards

The OP said his shots would be 100 yards or less, so he'd be giving up accuracy.
Maybe he wants to capture some of the magic from the Star Wars threads on the movie board.

This is better suited for those who can only own so many firearms because of where they live. Everytime you change barrels, you have to re-zero the sites. Just buy one dedicated rifle for each caliber when possible.

So, my point was that gunbroker is a good source to see what people are willing to pay. Let's not overthink this.

I once heard of a guy that went into a coin store to get some quick cash. The owner made him an offer. When the guy asked him why his offer was so much lower than the book value, the owner replied, "because books don't buy coins; people do."

That's all I got.

Well no shite. I'm not sure why the experts find it necessary to judge a rifle on the ability to shoot sub moa and sniping. The mini-14 does what it was made to do really well. That is being compact, handy, reliable, durable, simple to operate and accurate enough to meet the same milspec standards (15" groups at 300 yards) as the M16 service rifle, which is NOT a sub moa or "sniper" rifle by any means.

you had to stand inside a barn to hit it

Ruger frequently changed rifling twists in them. This and the pencil thin barrels did not make them necessarily inaccurate rifles. They just had to be fed ammo that liked the twist ratio, but at the same time were able to reproduce the same harmonics shot after shot, which can be more challenging with a long thin barrel. Using the same ammo before and after, I've seen quite a few decrease group sizes significantly, just by adding a muzzle device. The reason is that the muzzle brake or flash hider adds weight to the end of the barrel and changes the harmonics. Simply put, certain rifles like certain ammo, and the thinner the barrel, the more picky they can be to an extent, but it can be overcome.

Target models do have a tighter chamber, but that's just Ruger covering their arse. Contrary to the internet experts, the 5.56 only has a longer lead for reliability reasons, but gives up accuracy potential. I'd be fine shooting 5.56 out of 223 chamber if that's all I had.

As long as you believe it. How many have you seen have problems with 5.56?

ETA: You do realize that the 223 marking was a political thing, right?

It's fine to shoot 5.56 out of them.
