Thinking about buying a new rifle or shotgun? There’s never been a better time than now, as this year’s crop of sub-$700 guns has some real standouts.

Anarchy Outdoors has introduced two upgrades for the Thompson Center Compass and Venture rifles—a threaded bolt handle and a Picatinny scope base with a bubble level.

The second generation of T/C’s budget-friendly Compass bolt-action rifle comes with all the features that made the previous-generation model a success plus several new upgrades.

These budget-friendly bolt guns offer hunters a lot of rifle for a little money.

Lessons the author learned while introducing friends and family to our pastime can be brought to bear by other hunters who seek to add to our fold.

Thompson/Center has rolled out several of their rifle models in a new caliber: the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Thompson/Center Arms has issued an immediate recall on all of its Compass rifles. The company has determined that, in some instances, depending on the heigh and position of the rifle and other factors, a chambered round may fire if the firearm is dropped with the safety in the fire position. The recall applies to all Compass rifles manufactured prior to Sept. 16, 2016.

With a suggested retail price of just under $400, the new bolt-action Compass is Thompson/Center’s entry into the budget-friendly hunting rifle market.

The irony of having smart phones, smart cars and smart everything is they can make us less smart. To put it bluntly, they can make us dumb. By using these gadgets at every turn, we become more and more dependent—to the point where we become clueless without them.
