Good evening folks,
I read his posts a few times and gave some thought to my armament. As suspected it was about 99.95% bolt action and lever guns, along with a few revolvers.
That percentage dropped a point or two since I just took delivery of a Hi-Point carbine in 45 ACP. Their packaging sure is different as everything is in small plastic bags or boxes of small parts. I managed to wade through them and prepared to visit the range and get it on paper. My first five shots at 50 M weren't on the target nor the target holder so I then held at various parts of the backer trying to catch one single bullet somewhere on the paper. Nothing. Good thing that its winter time and no one was at the range except me I thought, as I moved the target to 25 yds. A center hold brought nothing so I again tried to move my aiming point. The first shot, which was held on the top cardboard panel, struck about 3" above the bottom edge of my 3.5 ft cardboard. I call that success. Now I held top of paper and the second and subsequent shots grouped around the first. Seven shots in approx 2.5".
Incidentally, the warranty is void if you shoot reloaded ammo OR lead bullets.
Here are most of the items that came with my carbine. Laser sight and mount, flashlight and mount, forward folding hand grip,sling and swivels. All that for less than $300.00 My overall impression is that I really like this rifle, with one exception. I spent more time looking for ejected cases than they are worth but that is an old habit that refuses to be reprogrammed. It is a pretty little gun, and not one bobble after firing about 75 rounds. Serious accuracy testing will be at some later date after I have mounted a scope.
