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.

Venturedetails

Thompson/Center introduces the New T/C Venture, the most value-packed bolt action rifle available on the market today. Designed to deliver top end quality and accuracy at an entry level price, the Thompson/Center Venture offers a 5R rifled match grade barrel and match grade crown, adjustable precision trigger and a classic style composite stock that puts it in a class all its own. A rugged, reliable tool for the outdoorsman, the T/C Venture features T/C’s renowned innovation, craftsmanship and cutting edge barrel technology. Guaranteed to deliver Minute of angle accuracy… 1 inch groups at 100 yards.

It features:

* 60 degree bolt lift
* Adjustable trigger
* 5R match-grade rifling
* Long action.

It will be available chambered in .270 Win., 7mm Rem. Mag., 30-06, .300 Win Mag.

Although I have yet to see pricing for this rifle, if it indeed is entry level pricing with a 1 MOA guarantee this will be one popular rifle and will give Weatherby with their 1.5 MOA guarantee a run for their money (no doubt being popular with folks who cannot shoot MOA anyway).

I expect a short action will be announced within a year.
