preacherman Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Anyone know anything about this rifle? Looking at one in a .308 for my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've read about them as I've thought about getting one myself. I've yet to see one in a store though to be able to handle one. I've been to a Cabela's & BPS in St. Louis, and the Gander Mountain nearest me and none had any in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have also been looking at these rifles. They seem to be great quality at a great price. The barrels are the same as on the more expensive Icon. The bolt is also made with the same fat body and three lugs as the Icon. I actually handled one of these rifles at a gun shop called Mace's in Mebane, North Carolina right before Christmas. I was impressed with the way that it felt in my hands and the bolt was real slick and smooth. The price was $450.00. If you want one in .308 Win. you may have to wait. Currently they are only offered in .270, 30-06, 7mm Rem. Mag. and .300 Win. Mag. TC has promised more calibers this year though. Tax time is right around the corner, I may just have to make my wife mad and buy one in 7mm Rem.Mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is really strange; because I read the same thing about it not being offered in a .308; but I handled one the other day. The place in Mississippi where I looked had the .308 for $449 plus tax.

Mach1 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 In the February 2010 issue of Outdoor Life, on the inside of the back cover there's an ad for TC Venture in .204, 22.250, .223, and .308. They call it the Venture Predator and it's in Max-1 camo. Looks nice. Also on TC's website it shows they're offering the Venture in the 4 calibers mentioned above plus .243, 7mm-08, and 30 TC starting this year.

bearcat Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 You are right. TC has introduced these calibers new for 2010. I wasn't aware that they had already started offering these calibers so soon. The new rifle in camo looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance86 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Was just in Gander Mountain (Appleton, WI) last night and they had several calibers in stock. I'm really impressed with the quality vs. the price. I'm looking at a .243 for my daughter. The bolt in it is really smooth- no slop at all like most of the other brands. It appears to be a really good quality gun at a great price. Gotta love the TC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
