I'll take the TC Venture for all the reasons you mentioned.
Plus With its 5R rifled precision barrel, adjustable trigger, Hogue traction panels, Melanite Coated Bolt and Guaranteed MOA Accuracy.
"The T/C is cheaper, about $100-150 cheaper" not sure about this one (see below - I'm sure you can get them both cheaper) ???
