I own a T/C Venture. Yes, there have been 2 recalls on the rifle and T/C has top notch customer service. The first time I sent it in, I received it back in 2 weeks and the second time took about a month. I never had any problems with mine personally. It's deadly accurate, as advertized, right out of the box. I've owned it for 4 years and have shot deer at 50 yards and out to 225 yards. No complaints from me and I recommend it to any who asks. I have more expensive rifles but they don't come close to the shot groups that the T/C shoots. All self preference I guess.
