2"?  I had heard 4".  Or perhaps that was 4" at 100 yards.  Still, for 
$500, I am just not impressed.  I do give the mini-14 credit though, it 
got me to buy an SKS, find good ammo for it, and spiff it up a bit.
On the other hand, I see ruger has put out a carbine in 40S&W now,
similar in style to the camp-9.  Let's just hope they do good with it
like they have done some of their other designs, and heck, I might even
buy one.
