The TC Venture exceeds MOA guarentee

David E. Petzal has tested and written a brief review about the new TC Venture. The new sub-$500 budget bolt-action rifle not only meets but exceeds its 1 MOA guarantee. Just look at these groups David was getting with a variety of loads:

Federal 168-grain Match–.789”

Federal 165-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip—1.195”

HSM 165-grain soft-point–.855”*

Nosler 180-grain E-Tip handload–.919”

Winchester 180-grain Power Point—1.163”

Berger 155-grain VLD handload–.667”**

I cannot wait for it to come out in a short action. A .308, 7mm-08 and .243 would be awesome.

    I also bought the VEnture for $370 at CAbelas on sale. Superior to a new remington XHR which has oversized chamber cut ; after each shot in 7mm remg mag I had to hammer back the bolt to open ;the VEnture just opened smoothly with no brass deformation. The VEnture 7mm rem mag groups hole touching hole at 100 yards; the rem XHR was 3 inch at 100 and 6 at 200! I traded the XHR in for a glock .40 cal. The venture is more modern , stronger and more accurate than a new rem 700; I used a Hawke 16 x nite eye scope ( China made), new win brass, Hornday 162 BTSP bullets, 64.7 gr Reloder 19, CCI primer , yielding velocity= 860 fps/. My favorite is the savage model 111 in 6.5 mm x 284; it groups 1 inch at 200 yard s with 140 gr sierra SP BT at 3003 ft/sec via reloder 19 and has less recoil than a .243 win. I killed 2 deer last fall in 2 minutes with it at250 meters ; they all fell on impact.

    I finally got my venture in .270 out to the range. After
    break-in I shot 1 1/2 in. at 100yd with 150grain winchester super x and a
    super 3/4in. group with 150grain remington corelokt. I can’t wait to find
    some match grade ammo and see what this gun can really do with the right loads.

    I’ll keep this link just in case a NATO army dares to spend 8,000 € per sniper rifle again.

    I’m really hoping they distribute these in Canada, I love companies that raise the bar in value and would happily slap down a couple bills for one. I’d then proceed to stick a high value Chinese scope on it (You may not get nice Chinese optics in the US, they’re easy to import here).
