Nice but I wouldn't call that a "wanna be carbine."  I'd call it the classic american deer rifle.  Many a hunter who couldn't afford a Model 30 Remington, Savage 1920 and Model 54 Winchester got the job done with a rifle just like that.  And in some ways, I think those guns hold a more honored position in history too.  Just my 2 cents which is worth about a penny these days.
