Thompson/Center Compass II Bolt-Action Rifle [Tested, Trusted]

[@wes326]

My .270 Compass shoots under MOA with 130 grain Core Lokt. Thanks for sharing.

[@kanyinak]

Did you get the compass 2 or the first Gen? I'm just about to buy the Compass in 270W.

[@wes326]

Compass, first gen.

[@davidciolino965]

Great review. I have bucked out the last 2 years with my compass in 308. My longest shot was 330 yards. For the price. You can’t beat it.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Slap a Boyds stock on it for less than $200 and you've got a rifle that might as well be $1,000

[@stevemcc8733]

I love mine. Got the 308 And 30 -06 A couple years ago at Dick’s, with the rebate, 165 each! First box of 308 ammo at 125 yards was within an inch!

[@joeb7891]

What kind of scope rings do you have on it?

[@andrewmaxwell5784]

My bar tab is sometimes more than that rifle cost 🤣 great review tho. I love these guns. Just picked up my 3rd one, this one in .338 Win Mag

How's the recoil?

[@andrewmaxwell5784]

@@AntiFakeJewsRev2-9-0Zach9-6 I have actually not shot the .338 yet, so I can't say. Getting ammo or brass to reload has been a hassle. I have a box of 225gr Federal Vital Shock ready to test, and some brass on the way. I will update when I can.

@@andrewmaxwell5784 ok thanks

[@davsny5]

The .30-06 I have and its amazing. Had a five shot, 3/4 inch grouping pattern from 30 yards with a laser and scope. Really nice rifle and the .30-06 will take down anything and the .308 is great.

i got a thompson center 308 and itll do less than half inch moa with hornady black...amazing rifles...and you can get a nice boyds stock like i did if you want to take an amazing barrel and increase the worth of it

[@anthonydeleon8550]

I got mine for 250 in New mexico, along with 90 grain green points and tasco scope . Pick up my bar tab lol

[@bishopkamikaze3097]

Mine in .308 loves Hornady Black 168gr A-Max rounds. I can shoot about a 2 inch group at 300 yards, smaller if I'm lucky.

[@chanceblack3763]

How much was it for your suppressor

[@shanehall5659]

Awesome Review, made my mind thanks. does it take any extended mags like 10 rounders ?

[@danieldotter6077]

No 10rd mags that I know of, only flush fit 5 rounders. Considering most hunting laws max out at 6 rounds, it's perfectly adequate. If you want a tactical bolt action rifle, I would look at other options.

[@Greentangle]

I am wandering why the bolt handle will not slip out from the opening of bolt body？

[@mitchkarl845]

They’re held in by tension I have one chambered in 308 and to take bolt apart the handle comes out. I also hit a 10 inch plate at 800 yards with ease with my compass

[@chrisgonzalez4524]

What Bushnell scope did you use?

[@johnpaton8047]

What was the suppressor that you used?

[@joshmason1003]

My compass .243 has flyers when barrel heats up only after 3 shots...anyone else have that problem?

[@xo_kels_7357]

Imma follow this thread if you don’t mind since we are looking into getting the compass for me.

[@danieldotter6077]

The barrel is a hunting profile barrel, it is not intended to be shot in long strings of fire. After 3 shots the barrel is hot enough to begin affecting accuracy a bit. It will be this way for any rifle with a similar barrel profile. If you want something you can shoot tight groups all day long without letting it cool, you need to get a bolt action with a bull barrel, although this will be a pain to carry into the field. My Compass in 308 is sub MOA all day long with decent hunting ammo. It shoots far better than any Remington 700 i've seen out of the box and for about 1/3 of the cost. Buy it and don't look back.

[@asherbelza8868]

Can you use 7.62x51mm ammo on 308 t/c compass?? Thank you

[@submissionartist444]

Yes

[@AlexLopez-sy4pr]

I think I got a lemon, is the barrel supposed to be flush at the end of the stock ? Mine has a 1/4" gap

[@bishopkamikaze3097]

Thats the way they are. They made damn sure the barrel is free floated. Lol

[@danieldotter6077]

Yes, itt is supposed to be like that. It is free floated - this is a design feature and a good thing. Have you even shot it?
