I have fired my share of the Carcanos and have heard all the negativity you can imagine of these fine rifles. Most of it is BS
Some of the negativity is a result of using ammo of the wrong bullet diameter plus correct ammo is difficult to find.
The 7.35 bullet diameter is .300 and the 6.5 is .268. With reloads, Carcanos can be extremely accurate.
