Title: T/C Venture
Post by: NateR on September 28, 2011, 01:48:04 PM: Hey guys and gals...been reading for about a year now, not much of a poster.

I'm ready to upgrade the old Savage 110 this week and have been leaning heavily towards the T/C Venture (30-06). I've been doing the homework for a few months now and haven't read a bad thing about the gun. The gun itself feels pretty nice and well built (for the price). Anyone have exp with this gun? Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Nate

I ordered one from Sportsco in Fife, best price I could find. The ones with the weather shield coating on them are in high demand so they are on back order. I ordered a .300 win mag for my son and they said it would take about 2 months to get it in. So it should be here any day.

Shooting Remington Core-Lockt ammo it will shoot more than acceptable groups at 100 yds, and I have practiced with it out to 500 yds. The price is good for the quality of gun you get. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new rifle.

My son has an Icon in .243 and it is a sweet shooting gun.

Curious are you allowed to shoot on 'Shomer Shabbat' :chuckle:
