You didn't settle at all. Although the Venture has a budget price, I don't consider it a budget gun. I think you are going to be even more pleased after your range session. Let us know how it goes.

The trigger mechanism is it's downfall. Kinda cheesy with it's stamped housing, plastic safety detent and sloppy tolerances. It's nowhere near the trigger of the Howa's H.A.C.T. trigger and overall, nowhere near the rifle.


My T/C says "made in the USA" not "made in Japan". Savage_99 says that's pretty important.
