[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1628968, member: 93846"] I currently own six T/C Compass centerfire rifles; one in 223 Rem for my oldest grandson's starter centerfire (he is 7 yrs old and just started shooting it), two in 7mm-08 Rem (one for him when he is old enough and one is mine, for now), two in 6.5 Creedmoor (future use for two more grandsons that, at the moment, are far too young to use them), and one in 270 Win that remains NIB; a donor action for an up coming build. All, but the 270 Win, are completely set up including 20 MOA Picatinny bases, scopes, muzzle brakes and completed load development. All five that are in use, are shooting sub-MOA, with three of them hovering right at 1/2 MOA. For my lefties; oldest daughter, only son, and only granddaughter so far, I have Left-hand Ruger American Predator and some Left-hand Ruger American Standard centerfire rifles in 223 Rems, 243 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. I also have some Right-hand Ruger American Predator and Ruger American Standard centerfire rifles in; 223 Rem, 6mm Creedmoor, 243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 30-06, for me and the wife. My RAPs have a little heavier barrels and definitely shoot a little better than the Compasses. I plan on adding quite a few more of both the T/C Compass and the Ruger American Centerfire rifles, in various cartridges, to the collection. As for the muzzle brake issue on the Compasses, I slightly counter-bored the back of the brakes to allow them to seat against the barrel shoulder with a little extra room for turning the back end of the brake until it was properly timed. After turning to time the brakes, I just installed them slightly over hand tight with Loctite 243 on the cleaned threads. I now have over 120 round through all the Compasses except the aforementioned 270 Win, with several having well over 400 rounds down the barrel. I've had not issue at all with the muzzle brake loosening on any them. I don't own any suppressors, so I can't attest to the ability of either the Compasses or the Ruger American Predators to run one without adversely affecting accuracy but, I've had no noticeable zero shift while using my MagnetoSpeed on any of them. I love my various T/C Compass rifles. They are rich in very nice features, definitely meet their sub-MOA guarantee and can be had at less than $325 including S&H, before their $50 dollar PER RIFLE rebate that is in its second year running. Though well over $150 more per rifle than the Compass, I also love my Ruger American Centerfire rifles! Mine are even more accurate than my Compass rifles, the actions are bit smoother and they also come in the Left-hand option! Both the T/C Compass and Ruger American centerfire rifles are fantastic values. There are multiple reasons I plan on buying many more of each... most already have names! :D [/QUOTE]
