So what about the Deerfield Carbine models? They went poof from the catalog pretty quickly. Poor sales or crap design?
I never shot one, but I did handle one. It was based on the Mini-14, IIRC. I recall complaints about it ejecting brass a bit skyward, often hitting the scope if equipped. Ruger offered a leather protector that sort of strapped around the underside of the scope turret to help with the issue.
