Overview
Thompson/Center (T/C) has a long tradition of catering to the outdoor and sporting markets with its innovative and affordable firearms and gear. New this year is an addition to the popular Compass line in 6.5 Creedmoor. The Compass has made a name for itself by offering guaranteed MOA performance at a $399 MSRP. The bolt-action rifle is light and handy and well-designed. And, now it is tapping into the popularity of the 6.5 Creedmoor long-range cartridge.

Impression
The Compass is really impressive, particularly for the price point. I learned that it has some really great features, such as 5R rifling for accuracy, a threaded barrel (standard), three-position safety, and bases for optics included. The action is smooth, and I am particularly excited about the new 6.5 Creedmoor chambering.
Price & Availability
The Compass line is available now in a range of chamberings, and its price point is an MSRP of $399 (which means you can find it cheaper here on GunsAmerica.com). Check it out if you like guns that don’t cost a lot and shoot really well. I know I do.

i have never heard of 5R rifling until i bought an used t/c venture in .204. can someone tell me what it means and the advantage of 5R rifling or disadvantage? because the primers were sticking out a little on the fired brass i took this rifle to a gunsmith and had it converted to a 20 Practical caliber so that i can use .223 brass for my T/C. i am still trying to develop load data for this rifle find that it shoots really good with some loads.
I like that Clay had the TC rep demonstrate the Compass’ safety. Is that to demonstrate that the recent, massive recall on the Compasses because of their safeties is behind them?
