Thompson/Center Arms is expanding its already extensive centerfire rifle lineup for 2020 to include the new T/C Compass Utility, T/C Compass II, T/C Compass II Compact and T/C Venture II bolt-action rifles. All of these new bolt-action rifle lines includes Thompson/Center’s 5R rifling and M.O.A. accuracy guarantee, and each one provides a host of features at a variety of price points. 

Lane Tobiassen, President of Smith & Wesson, said, “For decades, Thompson/Center has been known for its innovative firearm designs and legendary accuracy. New for 2020, T/C builds upon that legacy with an update and expansion of its bolt-action rifle product line. A key feature within the update is the new T/C Generation II trigger system.
