TC Venture Rifle first experience
I purchased this rifle on a whim, they promise 1 MOA
I was shooting Amax 180grain at 2700 FPS, no special sizing or bullet set just run of the mill reloads.
My first 3 test shots at 25 yds to make sure the scope was set up had a single oblong hole, basically 3 in the same spot. after fine tuning
Moved out to 100 yds and had a 3 shot group with 2 touching and the third about a 1/4" out.
I have a weatherby Mark 5 that won't shoot twice that pattern and it cost 3 times as much.
TC has definitely put their name in the rifle game in my book

k-22hornetVery nice.
I've had a TC Icon in 243Win since January, and it shoots very well. On it's first outing, I took 7 loads (3 shots per load) to the range and I had 5 loads shoot sub-MOA.
I am very happy with the rifle.

seanshooterHad to pop in here.I love my venture but the bottom popped off the mag on a hunt.I ran some supa glue around the base of the replacement and it has been fine.I would suggest other owners should look out for this.Also the trigger group is held in by two pins which were not fully inserted into position so I put a bit of locktite in there to keep them snug.
Don't be put off by this if you are in the habit of thoroughly checking over even a new firearm. At the price,a top gun!
