I've played with several models in the last few months and found that they deliver very good accuracy for the money. I reviewed the compact in .308, and went four for four on whitetails with it. Very handy ranch rifle. I spent an entire day zapping tonnage of P-dogs with the predator model in .204 Ruger and liked it enough to purchase one. For the price, it's hard to go wrong with the Ventures.
Good post. I've found the weathershiled models to be very accurate, to say the least. I don't see why the blued versions would be any different. The early ones had some recalls on the magazines and I've seen one rifle that the trigger wouldn't adjust below 4 pounds. Sent it back to the factory and they fixed it right away.
