Anything about the Thompson Center "Venture" rifle?
I heard that it is quite a performer for the money.

I have read exceptional reviews. Rifle shooter claimed they were getting sub MOA from it at 100 yards off a rest.

I have seen one, and it is hands down an amazing rifle for the money. I am trying to get my hands on one right now. I might save my pennies and get an Icon though, the wood stock appeals to me.

That being said the Venture is essentially a stripped Icon, I look at it as the cut the fat and kept the muscle

Same barrel and action, trigger and magazine as the Icon, in a composite stock. If your not a firearm snob, I think this is a rifle that can be a workhorse but shoot like a range queen. I found the one I saw in person to be better build quality than a savage, weatherby or Remington in the same price range.

I've been shooting for more than 50 years and it takes a lot to impress me and the venture impresses me. A 243 out of the box with a 4 to 12 scope added and we were knocking off 5/8" groups with good quality off the shelf ammo.

For the money, you can't go wrong.
