Group shot at 300 yards from the prone position using a Harris bipod and rear bag.

Nice group, but a fair comparison for purpose of this thread would be with an original factory barrel. Do you have any photos of those? I have had numerous factory barrels that would not shoot, but screw on a custom to their action and it is a whole new ball game.

Actually I do. Here's pics of two groups I fired with a TC Venture in 7mm Rem Mag using Berger 168gr VLDs. This was during load development. Each group is with RL22 but is a full grain different in charge weight. I also have target pics from a TC Venture in 300 win mag that my best friend owns now, but I will have yo dig those up and post them later
Groups are 3 shots at 100 yards. Only mod - a Harrels muzzle brake installed. Stock is NOT even bedded. Cant believe I sold this rifle

This particular rifle has a 22" barrel with the Marksman Adjustable trigger and is threaded.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Ketosan said:Ledd Slinger---in your experience with the TC lineup have you ever worked with the Dimension series--the model that has interchangeable barrels/bolts for various calibers?? Could be an attractive way to get more bang for the buck??? Found a source for the Venture model for $469.00 and the Dimension for $599.00--and TC has a $75.00 credit offer good until the end of 2015!!! The cost for a "new" caliber would be around $340.00--that assumes a bolt change also--if one only needed a new barrel then the cost would be around $200.00
Thanks
