[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 1989952, member: 109503"] Thompson Center Compass in 308 Win, 7-08 or 6.5 Creedmoor all good options. In my opinion there is no replacement for displacement. If one can handle the recoil, 300 Win Mag in this rifle is good for anything in North America. These are no frill rifle,but with threaded muzzle adding a break is easily done and these rifles will shoot. I have one I 6.5 Creedmoor and I have fed it everything and it is an absolute tack driver. For around $350 it is worth every penny. It’s not a pretty gun, but it is a very accurate shooter. Trigger is a little stout (about 6 lbs.), but adjustable and crisp. The 60 degree 3 lug bolt is not the smoothest in the industry, but is not bad once you get use to bolt throw. Couple of issues I had was that the stock was not tightened to the action properly. Plastic Stock (composite) is functional for a hunting rifle, but if wood is a must Boyd’s makes a laminate stock for the Compass at a reasonable price. For a hunting rifle I would not change the stock. Trigger I had to adjust and I change the spring to safely lighten trigger. Another great caliber IMHO is the 280 Remington, but to find one within your $500 rifle only budget might be a little tough? [/QUOTE]
