Thompson Center Compass 6.5 Creedmoor Bolt-Action Rifle

I am shooting a 4 inch group at 500 yards with this rifle, that's sub MOA at that range. It shoots consistently from 50 to 500. Unbelievable accuracy.

This rifle just keeps amazing me how accurate this rifle is for the price. Best group .171 MOA. It will routinely shoot sub .5 MOA with the right loads. Stock is the only drawback and bolt is not as smooth as more expensive rifles. But the proof is in how well a gun shoots and this one is amazing. I had to qualify for the 500 yd. Had to shoot at least a 2 group at 200. It shot a .750 .375 MOA. Needless to say it qualified. 

Bought this not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Bolt is smooth and finish on gun is good. Stock is a little flimsy at foregrip but not bad for price. Strapped on a scope and headed to the range. WOW! This was my first 6.5 Creedmoor and now I know why bench guys love this caliber. Super accurate. Winchester hunting ammo shot a .038 group at 100 yds and that is the truth! This is now my new hunting rifle. Hidden Jem!!

Despite its bare bones appearance and dirt cheap price, this rifle is absolutely fantastic and is probably the best deal and best rifle you could get not just at this price point, but for under $400 period. The first day I had this rifle, I fired some factory ammo through it, Hornady BLACK from Academy, and was able to get the best 5 round group of my life. At 75 yards, I shot a group well under 1/2. For a $300 rifle, this is absolutely incredible.
 As for the round, I like it. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a very accurate round that is extremely capable. I have taken a deer with this rifle, and the round did its job beautifully the 140gr Hornady Interlocks perform well. The recoil is also quite moderate. Comparable to a .243, and certainly far more pleasant to shoot than 30-06. My one complaint is the stock. It's kind of flimsy. It's certainly usable, but I did end up replacing it with a Boyds thumb hole stock.

I purchased the 6.5 creedmoore for long range shooting. I am pleased with the performance of it so far, a great shooting firearm and shoots groups under 1 MOA at 100 yards as advertised. Great price on a nice little firearm. I think I'll enjoy it for years to come!

This gun is my first venture into the 6.5 Creedmoor world. Sighting in my scope at 50 yards put most of the shots in groups touching each other. At 100 yards the first day out, I almost had all 5 shots touching. I was using a cheap gun rest for the front of the gun only. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting an easy gun to shoot accurately. I'm sure the more I shoot it the smaller my group will get. The recoil was also less than my AR-15 with the crumby butt stock. I could almost see all of my shots hit the target.

Same trigger as the others. Not very adjustable. Own 3 and have had to have trigger jobs on all of them. After trigger jobs, outstanding shooters.

First let me say thanks to Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore for getting the 6.5 Creedmoor rifles back in stock before the T/C rebate ended. This rifle was delivered and I checked the action screws and scope base for proper torque. They were very loose. Potential problem fixed. I had purchased a few boxes of Hornady ammo to try with this gun, 120 gr A-Max, 140 gr ELD, 147 gr ELD, and 129 gr White tail. I wanted some of the 123 gr ELDX but couldn't find any. Using three shots to sight in gun at 100 yards, proceeded. The best 5 shot groups came with 140 gr ELD at .76 inch and 120 gr A-Max at .97 inch. Sub MOA out of the box!

For a rifle that after rebate cost me less than $225. The gun was very comfortable to shoot and the trigger, while heavy, was repeatable. I don't think I will adjust the weight of trigger pull since the gun will be used for hunting and utility shooting. Great gun for a great price!

The best shooting rifle I've ever had. Four shots at 100 yds. They almost touched from a bench with a lead sled.

BTW just got my Boyds laminate stock, they are inletting for the Compass. Drop in. Little finagling but it is a SWEET looking and shooting piece now!

My custom Bartlein and Liljas are great, they better be. But this for around 200 after rebate is stupid amazing.

Good: shoots AS WELL or better than my TIkkas, Savages, and customs. Like a ragged hole and doesn't seem to throw shots even with the thin barrel. Had it out 4 times. Cold and clean, bull. Like center dot. Hot after 10 rounds Eh, maybe grows to a one inch group. I bought the 6.5 and the 223, trying not to buy another...

The bad which is good for me, is that the trigger needs a little breathing-on. Which is ok because after you do an easy fix, you feel like a champ with a very nice adjustable trigger. The trigger secret? Remove a big chunk of metal. I won't tell you which, but there are 3 pieces, and one you straight-up remove. Then it's a great trigger. Will it go off with the safety off on a chambered round if you drop it on a hard surface? Yup! Should you ever walk around cocked and locked safety off? Up to you, but I don't so no problem. Stupid stupid accurate rifle that makes inexpensive RPRs look foolish, which is fun!

I have a TC Dimension with various caliber barrels that I really like, so I bought this Compass in 6.5 Creedmoor believing it was steal at the current price and rebate. Big mistake. This rifle has the worst trigger of any of the over twenty bolt guns I've owned. Its adjustable in theory, but the reality is that it won't go below 4.5 lbs, and its basically impossible to get the creep out of it. I've talked to TC about this twice and basically been told that's the way it is. They'll let me send it back, but won't promise the trigger will improve. Furthermore, I sent the rebate in around July 24 and still have yet to receive confirmation that they're even processing it September 18. You are much better off going with Savage, Ruger or Mossberg.
