TC Compass vs Venture - Opinions Needed

Frogdog

With the sales/rebates going on, I have decided to give TC a try in .308 without breaking the bank. There seems to be a ton of good reviews out there on the Compass, but I can't find much in the way of comparisons between the Compass and the Venture. Better stock/finish on the Venture, different mags, threaded barrel on the Compass - those are about all I can tell as differences.

In any case, it's going to be one of the two. The price difference is only about $40 between them. Is the Venture worth the extra bills, or is the Compass the better bet?

I have the Venture all weather in 30-06 got it used here on GunBroker for a good deal you may recognize the seller's name in the picture it is at least minute of Deer 3 shots with it and 3 deer. I bought it as the the rifle to use if the weather was nasty.



For what I got it for I probably should've have sent a Sympathy Card with the payment

I've always told folks to shoot the best they could afford. That said, since hunting season is about finished, I'd advise anyone looking for a nice rifle to make the rounds of LGS and pawn shops. You might find a really good deal on a keeper. Or, just check out a place called GunBroker (I think it is called that). [:D]

Not a matter of financial constraints. I am just a sucker for cheap guns....and an even bigger sucker for a good deal. So I am going to give one or other of them a try. [:D]

Well, they're both made by (gulp) s'n'w nowadays, so let's hope you get a "good" one!
