which one is better. i can get the venture for about 200 cheaper. is the ruger worth 200 more?

never owned a TC but had a lot of rugers, whitch you cant go wrong with.

I havent owned a recent Ruger. Last one I had was probably from the early to mid 80s or so. Trigger SUCKED on it and was average accuracy wise. I own 3 TC bolts. 2 Icons and 1 Venture. The Venture regularly shoots under 1/2 inch with my handloads. I have shot a tad over an inch group at 200. The adjustable trigger is nice. The stock is not flimsy like some other plastic stocks.

Would love to have a Venture in a short action in 7mm 08 or 260.Probably not going to happen at least the 260. I do hope they come out in an SA though.

I bought a TC Venture in .30-06 last month. 46.5 grains of IMR4895 and a Hornady 165 gr SST= 5 shots into 3/4" and 5 shots into 7/8" at 100yds. This was the first load I tried, and I killed a 9 point with it a week later. I really like the gun.

Hawkeye, no questions asked.

Im just a peckerwood that lives in the hills with too many guns There's going to be more shooting, more people are going to die. I didn't start it, but I mean to see it through I'm going to find them, burn their playhouse down Exercise my right to bear arms You don't understand how serious this is. They killed my dog-Bob Lee Swagger

Ya know, that is kind of like asking "is smokeless powder really better?". lol

I have to second Tang's vote for the Hawkeye. Trigger still not great but easily fixed. Quality,accuracy and strength------GREAT!

The only T/Cs I have are Hawkens in .54 and .50 caiber, they are very well made guns. I like them, but my bolt guns are Rugers. I have a bunch of them (like 45) and they have all been great.
