Shoot it ~ you may be surprised.

I bought a 1944 carbine in unissued condition about 10 years ago. Cleaned up beautiful. For an open sighted rifle, mine is a lot more accurate than I am capable of shooting. While its no scoped sniper rifle, I would not hesitate to take game with it out to 100 yards. Yep, that's close for a rifle ~ but where I live most deer, hog, and black bear are taken at less than 50 yards.

I've been very happy with mine. Lot of fun to shoot and it definitely did not break the bank. I bought it for $60.
