Customer Reviews for Thompson Center Venture .308 Win Bolt-Action Rifle

I just returned from the range to break in this rifle, this TC Arms Venture Blued is dead on accurate. I mounted the scope then dialed it in by pulling the bolt out and sighting down the barrel on a fixed point. I had to shoot "standing only" at the indoor range. The guns first three shots at 75', were within a 2" group although I could not stop swaying because of a bad shoulder. Can't wait to bench rest this to get a true account of it's accuracy. The bolt is smooth as silk, as well as the trigger with a clean break that is almost undetectable from the factory. The trigger is adjustable but I don't see any reason to tweak it. The Hogue grips make this rifle extremely comfortable to shoot. The recoil is on the heavy side but straight back with minimal lift, so staying on target is not an issue as you cycle the bolt. The recoil is not detrimental for what you gain in a rifle that only weighs 7 pounds. I am thrilled with this rifle and would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a lower cost high end performance riffle. Do not let the price fool you, this rifle is tops in accuracy and extremely comfortable to shoot and carry, weighing only 8 pound fully dressed. It's an affordable tack driver with a $75.00 rebate for veterans like myself.

Accurate rifle. Nothing spectacular. Great value.

Love this gun ! buds is great to work with

Haven't had a chance to shoot the rifle yet, but it arrived in good condition and everything feels good with fit and function.

Purchased this rifle in October 2015 and have mounted a Konuspro 3x9x50 scope on it. I sighted the rifle in and was very surprised on how accurate it is at 100 yards. Sub moa groups were easily achieved. $75 rebate on the Venture until 12/31/15. This thing is a tack driver. You really can't go wrong with Buds prices

This was my first purchase from Bud's, in fact it is my first online firearms purchase. I was very pleased with the process. Everything went smoothly. I took the T/C Venture out on Saturday to site in. I'm a little new at the whole process so some missteps were made. I had cleaned the rifle well before hand and it was ready. The scope, a Vortex Diamondback 4x12x40 with the adjustable objective, sighted in easily. Shooting at 100 yards was very pleasurable. Recoil was surprisingly low, The rifle has a nice feel to it and is much more accurate than I will ever be. I am a rookie at long arm shooting, but this rifle inspires me to get better fast.

I a very pleased. The gun arrived in good condition. Loaded 5 bullets for it, got the scope sighted in and from what I can tell with some mild loads it is going to be a shooter.
