Thompson Center Dimension

[reelfiftyfive]

Looking at a Thompson Center Dimension in 7mm
Does not seem to be a very popular rifle ?
The idea looks great -multi barrel calibre - sub MOA
It did feel good when I put it to the shoulder
Do not want to buy something that is hard to find parts for
Your opinions........................

It use to be a better deal than it is now, prices have gone up quite a bit and parts are not as readily available as they were a few years ago. It's a nice lightweight rifle, I have it in 270, 30-06 and 300 Winmag. You'll need to mount a scope high if you're not using barrel mounted cantilever rails, otherwise you'll need to remove the scope to swap barrels.

Agreed with xdmer - I have one with 22-250, 7mm-08 and 7mmRM barrels, and I love it. Its amazing just how well it holds zero on a barrel swap when you use the scope bridge mount. Parts are a little hard to come by, but they are around. Just btw, my best 3-shot 500 yd group last summer with the 7mmRM was 1.6", neck-sized Norma brass, federal 215M primer, 69 gr Retumbo and Barnes 168gr LRX seated 0.050 off the lands, 2850 fps. Note, this was my load data and my rifle and I worked up to it, yours may be different, start lower and look for pressure before jumping in on this recipe.
