Thompson Center Venture 7 Mag

[Nebraska Outlander]

Did allot of research on what caliber to get for elk hunting, really wanted a 7-08 or 30-06 but after research thought a mag caliber would keep me from buying a different gun down the road. So I found the Venture on sale at Cabela's for $379 + $75 rebate + $5 veteran discount + $115 gift card to Cabela's from work so I ended up spending $200 on the gun.

Had a Vortex Diamond Back Scope as a back up and threw that on the rifle. Found some ammo at Walmart on clearance 50% off so I bought three boxes.

I got the gun on paper today and had to stop but did shoot a 3 shot group with a wobbly table. With everything I'm Happy with results.

I'll get a Boyds stock for it and get the action bedded by next year and maybe a nicer scope but it may work for my needs.

Other than putting scope on gun this is completely out of box.

The bolt is on the wrong side, but at least it shoots.

Nice gun. I think the Diamondbacks are darn nice scopes for the money too. I have several on my 22 and 22 mags, plus a Mossberg MVP.
