I know. I bought mine in 6.5 about 6 months ago for $300 and that was a deal.

What scope do you suggest for the TC in 6.5?

 

[reblwing]

Still experimenting but right now using a burris banner 6-18x50. Shooting 100 yards at Douglas ridge. Plan on going to 200 next time out. Paid about $100 on Amazon or Ebay. Can't justify spending much more than that on a $300 rifle. Though the last time I was at douglas ridge another shooter ler me shoot his high end, long range, custom rifle which he built himself with a nightforce scope. It was really nice but at $1500 it's a little much. When i grow up and get a $1000+ rifle then I'll start thinking about it.

Opinions on the rifle, disregarding the cost...

 

[reblwing]

I'm fairly a newbie at firearms. Just been into it for less than 2 years. In my opinion for that price it's a lot of good gun.

TC are considered a very good budget priced rifle.

 

[reblwing]

At $300 I got a deal. At $220 probably can't resist.

For the scope, it depends on your intended use of course. With the supplied bases a objective size of 40-42mm and a set of low rings works well. I initially mounted a 6-24x to see what it will perform like. I was impressed, regardless of the price. I am late to the Creedmore party, but I am a believer now. For most uses a 4-12x is good, or even a 3x9. I am replacing with a 2.5x10 Nikon Monarch for permanent residence.

I did go through it a bit, as far as removing the stock and cleaning up the oil and resecuring with blue loctite on stock and scope bases. I also took off the sharp magazine edges with 800 grit, very lightly. It easily made the 1 MOA with Hornady ammo and was very close with the Winchester 125 grain. More research in the next couple days.

I was going to go with Ruger, but at that price it is amazing. They are clearing them out because of the release of Compass v 2. The difference is the trigger. My version 1 trigger is more than acceptable. Hope this helps.
