Thompson/Center Arms has introduced an extensive center-fire rifle lineup for 2020 to include its new T/C Compass Utility, T/C Compass II, and T/C Venture II bolt-action rifles. The new T/C Compass II, T/C Compass II Compact, and Venture II rifles incorporate T/C’s new Generation II trigger system. The company has also introduced the new T/C Compass Utility, a budget-priced entry-level sporting rifle. Each of the new bolt-action rifle lines features Thompson/Center’s 5R rifling and M.O.A. accuracy guarantee, and provides features and value at a variety of price points for today’s hunter and shooter.
