OK back to budget rifles. I had a gift card and the store had a sale and tc had a rebate so this weekend I bought a tc compass for 189 bucks. Will let you know it does. I dismissed them based on looks and price until I held one and examined closer, it's basically a venture with a cheaper stock and better magazine. Cheap looking stock but it's stiff and fits me. Rotary mag that holds 5 and is better designed than the American from ruger. Crisp trigger designed like the old winchesters. A real recoil pad. Threaded for suppressor, 3 lug bolt, 5r rifling for those of you who like that.
Shaking my head. 189 bucks for any rifle is pretty good but this one could be dropped into a nice walnut stock and most would think it's a 700 dollar gun. Nice design and accidental good timing on my part.
Like a lot of us, I can afford a 600 dollar rifle but I have a couple customs and I keep them and occasionally try a new toy out or buy a truck gun or want a project.
