The budget priced Thompson/Center Venture rifle is now shipping. T/C guarantee that it is capable for firing 3 shots in a one inch group at 100 yards. This rifle is going to fly off the shelves!
It will be available chambered in .270, .30-06, 300 Win. Mag., and 7mm Mag. I hope it will be available in a short action soon.

I assume thats $500 + optics.
The other thing I notice is that .270 and 7mm are ALWAYS on the shelf at my local Megamart so one might be able to get ammo to shoot this thing again.
Freiheit, yep, it would be without optics. A 1 MOA rifle probably deserves $500 worth of optics!
If I was T/C I would offer a range of upgrade options. Many people will like the idea of starting with a cheap MOA rifle, then slowly building up accessories. Maybe fancy wood stocks, adjustable stocks, recoil reduction devices etc.
I’m shocked it’s not in .308!
Would .308 fall under “short action”?
What the hell?! I bought three of these and I can’t get a single one to fire less than 1 MOA! These things suck.
Oh wait. I think I figured out the problem. Anybody know where I can buy a sub-MOA me?
Woohoo .30-06sprg! I am curious about actual reports and not advertising, but that sounds good.
B, yep.
If they make it in a left handed design i just found my next purchase.
Will T/C make a T/C Venture in a .308 caliber?
William, hopefully they will.
