I have been looking for a marlin camp rifle (carbine) without success! So I started looking into other options. I found this High Point brand in 9mm, .40 and .45! Read lots of mixed reviews, so I found one used on the boards, before buying it my local gunshop got a shipment of brand new High Points in, $315 bucks! I figured I was going to get what I paid for, but I was very surprised! Out of the box this carbine is soo accurate, I couldn't believe it! Bought a 200 round count box of Ammomax reloads, (sooo dirty) and 2 100 count Winchester value packs. Took it to the range this morning and blew off all 200 reloads first, without a single issue! Then shot the 200 rounds of clean factory ammo and again not a single issue! The thing that got me the most, was how dang accurate this is out of the box with iron sights. at 75 yards we were getting 1-2 inch grouping...easily! There was no recoil and was very comfortable to shoot. The one downfall of this carbine is the trigger, kind of sucks, long pull, long reset, but you do get used to it. Overall a solid rifle at $315 bucks!
Looks like a pain in the @ss to disassemble and clean, gunsmith told me these are made to run 5,000-10,000 rounds before they need cleaning, I find that extremely hard to believe... if anyone else has any experience with these, let me know. Im interested in pulling this thing apart, but looks dam complicated!!
