The Orlando mass murderer was an excellent marksman — netting near-perfect scores on his Florida firearms tests, a report says.

Records obtained by NBC News show that Omar Mateen, 29, regularly scored in the 230s on the Class G Florida gun license exam, which is given on a local range at regular intervals.

The highest score a person can receive on the test is a 240, according to NBC.

One year, Mateen managed to get a 238 — but his score eventually fell to 223 by August 2014.

The test he took that month was held inside the St. Lucie Shooting Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida — the very same place where Mateen legally purchased the weapons he used to slaughter 49 people on Sunday morning.
