Understatement of the year. I have never seen one in any caliber that will shoot well enough to keep me interested. The very best one I have ever seen was a two minute of angle rifle with its favorite load. Most are three to four MOA rifles. Every one of them is cursed with about the worst trigger Ruger puts on a gun, and that's saying a lot.
If you need a cheap rifle with cheap ammo for bustin' coyotes and stuff, just get a bolt action rifle. They are available from just about every manufacturer of bolt action rifles, at a price to suit any budget. You can get anything from a light sporter weight, like the Remington Model Seven (at about six pounds with a scope), to a full blown heavy barreled varmint rig, like one of their model 700's. Any will outshoot a Mini - whatever all day long and be far less picky about ammo to boot.
