I have the mini 14 target model and I have only shot out to 200 yrds but mine is as accurate as I can make it. I mean its not the gun if I miss it me holding the gun back at that range. They are good out to 300 yrds or so in the new 580 ranch rifle form. The older ones are good to about 100 yrds. After that they tend to string with out a barrel strut in place. But like someone said they go bang everytime.
