I made a trade a few months ago that netted one. Didn't really want it but it essentially came for free. Figured on just trading it off later. Maybe I'll have to give it a second look.
The key is to load it with good ammo. The Chinese FMJ ball ammo that you can't get anymore was quite accurate and very cheap. Good American-made ammo (e.g., Federal) is not at all cheap, but more accurate than a Winchester 94 or Marlin 336 shooting most brands of .30-30. The Russian-made "Wolf" ammo is absolute crap and a complete waste of money, no matter how cheap you buy it.
