“The new T/C Compass rifle was developed with premium features to deliver a highly-capable bolt-action rifle that can match any budget. The rifles are shipping now, giving consumers plenty of time to mount optics and bring them to the range for sighting in before this year’s hunting season,” said Danielle Sanville, Brand Manager for Thompson/Center Arms.

Additionally, the T/C Compass rifle ships with a flush-fit rotary magazine and is equipped with Weaver-style bases for easy scope mounting.
