I've got a Bushmaster Varminter and a M1A. Love both of them. The first .223 I had was a Mini 14 and never liked it. Problems with the gas system and not very accurate. The only thing I would like to change is a different stock for the M1A. I like the new pistol grip stocks and one of these days I'm going to pick one up but they are sure expensive right now. I'm hoping they go down in price pretty soon. As it is, I sure cannot complain on how wll it shoots now. I had both of them out about 3 weeks ago playing with them and my 45/70 Sharps and a friends Barrett 50 BMG. At 500 yards they all impressed me. I did have to dial in an extra 51 MOA for the 45/70 to be on target but I expected that. I think you will like the Springfield much better then the Mini-14.
