After I opened the throats up, mine was a real shooter. I put 6 for 6 on a paper plate at 200 yards with it. But about that time I finally found a Single Six .32 H&R, so I felt I no longer needed the .30 Carbine. A friend warned me about getting rid of it, saying that paper plates would haunt me...
