Several of my hunting buddies have Traditions rifles. I would compare most Traditions to CVA - the fit & finish, looks and overall quality isn't as good as TC in general, but they tend to shoot really well. My buddy's inline Traditions shoots 1.5 inch groups with 240 grain XTP's all day long at 100 yards. He also has a sidelock Traditions that shoots pretty good - something like 2" groups at 50 yards and 4-5" at 100 yards with open sights. This is also with XTP's - he doesn't shoot PRB or conicals.
