3 inches at 30 yards for a rifle isn't going to get me to buy one .
That's actually pretty bad and I bet he shot them at 30 yards because at 50 yards the groups were too large to admit too !
Granted pistol caliber carbines will normally be used at 50 yards ... I would expect at least 2" groups at 50 yards ... and if I'm going to be paying good money I'm looking for 1 1/2 inch groups .
If I were 25 years younger I would be looking at the Henry Lever Guns ... they get some much better accuracy.
I understand the way the world works ... you don't bite the hand that feeds you .
He wrote that the rifle shot 3" groups at 30 yards and that right there told me what I needed to know ... It wasn't that accurate ... at least he spoke the truth and let the reader know just what the group size was . I've seen one or two write ups where they just didn't mention how bad things were ... saying nothing about accuracy is also telling ...at least this writer told us what was happening .
