    What I really love about Thompson Center is that ALL of their rifles have a match grade barrel, 1 MOA accuracy guarantee (they all shoot under 0.75 MOA on reality, even with the worst of ammo) and the fact that T/C gives a life time warranty with all of their rifles.
    You really can't beat them.

    Really enjoying your channel , very professional and informative . I have a TC LRR in 6.5 CM and found that Hornady American Gunner 140gn to be consistantly accurate for factory ammo and worth trying for the price point

      Thank you so much! Really appreciate that. Awesome. I've always been interested in TC, but never bought one. After having this one, I can see I will probably be adding more to the collection!. Thanks for watching and the info!

    A number of people don't realize that the first generation trigger was adjustable. However, with the Gen 2 and averaging less than 3 pounds, that's as good as my Mossberg LBA triggers.
    I am so tempted to get one of these. The lowest price I have found right now is $400. And I have a Vortex Crossfire II scope I pulled off my Patriot and also a couple of Diamondback Tactical scopes laying around doing nothing (because I changed to Vortex Venom on my .308 rifles.) And I put the Patriot in a Chassis, which has made it heavier. Possibly a better shooter. But I am seeing all kinds of great accuracy out of these TC Compass rifles.

    Mcarbo fixed my gen 1Compass. Shoots MOA to 300 yrds, Winchester Deer Season or Hornady American Gunner. Great design features, kind of unpolished - it is a budget rifle so that's ok.

      No doubt guys. I have more expensive rifles that I won’t drag through the woods. I got a compass 2 in 6.5 creed for less than $300. I gut the cheapest Boyd’s stock for it. It shoots light out. It shoots .5 moa with factory loads.

  • @davidcarroll2908
    @davidcarroll2908 Před 3 lety

    Thanks, one thing that no one is showing would be to take the stock of the barrel and show the bedding of the stock to barrel etc on the newer gen rifles... that would make it a more complete review because that is a major item to me.

    Just received my TC compass II In 6.5 cm ..trigger is badass. Gunsmith mounted and zeroed my Burris 4.5 x 14 x50:scope and muzzle brake
    Will probably switch to a Boyd’s stock at some point, Paid $284 minus $50 rebate no tax or shipping. Scope was $189 cant wait to shoot it..Thanks KYGUNCO and TC

  • @WEstHamUTD777
    @WEstHamUTD777 Před 3 lety +5

    I have no idea why everyone is beating up on that gen1 trigger. I have a TC Compass utility rifle in 243 with the gen1 trigger and I think it's a perfect trigger, with a crisp brake at around 5 lbs and no travel.
    it really makes you send it when you want to send it and not before.

    • @buildhuntxplore
      @buildhuntxplore  Před 3 lety

      I never experienced it. I do more precision shooting with bolt guns, so I am used to a 1.5 pound trigger.

    • @scotteger6271
      @scotteger6271 Před 3 lety +1

      My brother-in-law had a gen 1 and the trigger really wasn't bad. I think the gen 1's were a mixed bag...some good, some not so good. Also, different people have different expectations of triggers. Personally I don't want a 1-1.5lb trigger on a hunting rifle...not saying I want a 5-6lb trigger either, but 2.5-3.5lbs is about perfect (again, for me). I have a couple Howa 1500's and a Weatherby Vanguard for my hunting rifles and they're all excellent triggers from the factory. It's just one of those subjective things and you have to find one that you like the feel of the best.

      @@trellbradley4506 I think it will be ok to hunt with, as long as you don't hunt anything too large. I think it will be a great caliber for our deer because, from what I've seen, the bullet expands and dumps energy very quickly. Hoping to have the video up next week, so definitely check back!

      I admit, I'm not a huge fan of the 3 position safety after having used it for a while. It doesn't have a very positive click so it's hard to tell where you're at
