I had a Browning Carbine and didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. I now have an original Winchester with the 24 inch barrel and it handles so much better. I would stay with the rifles over the carbine. Deals are out there. I got mine not too long ago and it was $800. It had a side mount with scope which I yanked off and put a peep sight on it. Handles great and a lot more accurate than I expected
