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.
