I have a TC Venture in 7 mm mag. I had an issue with my first gun. There must have been a manufacturing issue in the chamber. After 3-4 shots, I couldn't open the bolt. Took it back to my shop and it was sent back to TC, and a replacement sent out shortly after. It is extremely accurate, relatively light, and the stock is very comfortable. Took my buck this year with it right at 100 yards. I believe I got mine for right around $380 and topped it with a Zeiss Conquest. Also, I'm a big Ruger fan. My other deer rifles are a No 1, and M77 MKII. My final decision came down between the TC and the American. 3 things pushed me to the TC, which were the 5r rifling, accuracy guarantee, and trigger adjustability without removing the stock/action. Even with the initial hiccup, I feel I got more gun than I paid.
