Modern target shooters and budget-minded hobbyists are watching new cartridge platforms and purpose-built carbines that expand capability without breaking the bank. With an emphasis on practical ergonomics, accessory compatibility, and proven semi-auto reliability, the right carbine can make range time more accurate and more enjoyable.

HI-POINT 3095

The HI-POINT 3095 is the industry’s first rifle chambered to accommodate the .30 Super Carry cartridge. Built on a semi-auto action with a 16.5″ barrel and a 10-shot capacity, this carbine balances compact handling with the ballistics benefits of a .30-caliber offering. Retail price sits at $519.99, making it an accessible option in the Semi Auto category for shooters who want a modern cartridge platform in a durable package. Shop this product

Design and Ergonomics

The 3095’s skeletonized polymer stock and integrated pistol grip reduce weight while retaining rigidity for follow-up shots and steady cheek weld. A ribbed polymer forend aids control during rapid strings and helps dissipate heat from the 16.5″ barrel during extended sessions. Top and lower Picatinny rails on the receiver and handguard let shooters mount optics, lights, and bipods without gunsmithing, preserving the carbine’s out-of-the-box utility.

Sights and Controls

Factory sights include a front post and a peep rear that is fully adjustable for windage and elevation—an approachable setup for target shooters who prefer iron sights or want a zero before adding glass. The semi-auto action and 10-round magazine offer a good balance between range capacity and compact profile.

Cartridge Performance: .30 Super Carry

The .30 Super Carry is designed to deliver .30-caliber performance from a compact footprint. In a carbine-length barrel like the 3095’s 16.5″, shooters can expect improved velocity and flatter trajectories compared with short-barrel pistol loads, making this combo well-suited for precision training, steel targets, and casual competition. The cartridge’s smaller footprint also supports higher magazine capacity potential in pistols, a forward-looking option that makes the 3095 notable as a first adopter.
