Was looking at one of these rifles in a catalog recently. Seems to have some good features such as 3 locking lugs on the bolt for a short 60 deg bolt lift. R5 rifling and ,removable clip magazine. Synthetic stock. Trigger is adjustable outside the stock. Can't find a stocking dealer close to home and I was wondering if anyone out there has one and how do they like it? Thanks for any comments

I don't have one, but local dealer had one in stock some months ago and took a close look at it and appears to be quality construction. Nice wood on it. Believe the caliber was 270Win., but it seemed excessive in weight and the list on it was something slightly less than 1,000.00 I own Tikka's and they work fine for less money, but I would say the Thompson is a cut above in overall quality of build and appearance. It should shoot well based on it's bedding system and quality barrel and now that you have reminded me of them, will go back and take another look at them. Might do some trad'n.

MFD Thanks for the comment. They had two models listed in the catalog.The one with the wood stock was quite a bit more money than the one with the Synth stock. The picture seemed to make the stocks look bulky but sometimes the pictures don't tell the whole story.
