Rick,

re: I've handled a Mini 14 and it would be no problem to

I have one and can tell you the accuracy of this weapon is pretty poor. The idea a sniper would use a carbine is just a bit hard to understand. At 100 yards it's lucky to keep the rounds in a 4 inch circle. My .22-250 is good at 200 yards and about 1/2 inch diameter circle. By the way a .22-250 and a .223 both use the same .224 dia. bullet, along with about a dozen other calibers.

He could be completely inside a van using one of the slide or pop open windows in the back.
