I've been playing with a new TC Venture ( 7mm mag)I bought a while back. When I first had it out I was sighting in with 150 gr hornady spire points. I tried a few groups and the best I got was 1.5 to 2 inch groups. Not too bad but the company claims MOA on these rifles. But I know that I am not the greatest shooter so I wasn't discouraged.
I went out yesterday and tried some 175 gr grand slams with four loads of IMR 4831. Two of the loads produced groups a bit over 1" ( Covered by a looney )
However with 58gr and 59 gr I got groups that I could cover with a penney
Bingo !
My goal for this rifle was a gun for hunting so it has more than met my expectations. Overall TC has a very good entry level gun with the venture. My only beefs are that the clip is a bit cheap and the stock feels slippery. The trigger is moderately acceptable and does not change when adjusted.
Has anyone else tested out one of these ? If so what have you found ?
NB: All groups were 3 shots at 100M with a 20 min break between groups. I like to measure groups with coins
1" covered by a quarter
1.25" covered by a toonie
.75 covered buy a penny
Its not exactly precision but it works for me
