Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles RAR or Venture?

Ruger American or TC Venture for a cheap walk about 22/250 varminter? Quality,accuracy,function. You know.

You couldn't go wrong with either of those. I like the Ruger a little better, but that's just my personal preference. Both are well built for the money and are highly praised for their accuracy. You can probably by the TC Venture a little cheaper than the Ruger, though.

If you don't mind the extra weight the T/C Venture. There are many satisfied Venture owners here on the fire.

The fast twist special run RAR from Whittaker Guns.

If SS would be a plus, you're stuck with the Ruger. Prices on those seem to be creeping up though. I paid a bit more and got a Hawkeye All Weather, which is what I really wanted anyway.

Camo Venture or Venture Weathershield. I feel the stock is of better quality. Lack of anything aftermarket if that worries you.

Venture.

Venture. You could shoot a coyote a mile away or club a varmint to death and not feel bad about it.

If you could get by with either a 223 or a 243, the Remington 700 ADL package guns at Wal-Mart sell for around $400.

If you could get by with a 243, CDNN still has a few Marlin XS7 on sale for $240.

If you could buy used and take a little time looking, you could get nearly any model you wanted.

Of the two mentioned, neither. Spend more money and get a Tikka T3 at least.

My .22-250 Venture shoots great. Right in there pitchin with my Tikka at .5 - .75" at 100 with factory ammo. The trigger Sucked with a capital "S" out of the box. Heavy and creepy. It is fully adjustable but the trigger return spring was too stiff to go below 5 lbs. so I had to disassemble and install a lighter spring to get it where I wanted. Now it's 2.5 lbs and breaks like a glass rod so all is well.

That's what I was afraid of with the TC. I can over look a lot,but a carp trigger is a deal breaker.

I just went and checked that out. Pretty cool. Years ago I had Texas Trophy Hunter fever. This could conceivably scratch that itch. Ill have to do a little research of the heavier .22 pills. Sweet.

I've done the 22-6mm in a 1-14" ROT rechambered Winchester 22-250 barrel and have done the 22-243 Middlestead with a 1-12" ROT Hart or Shilen barrels twice. Both cartridges ate throat as if the barrels were made of butter. Even with judicious use, the barrels were cooked in less than 1,000 cycles, the CM barrel on the 22-6mm probably within 700. As with most things in life, there are trade-offs in that you have to give something up, like barrel life, to get what you want, an uber-fast .224" bore rifle.
