How quiet is 300 AAC Blackout suppressed with subsonic ammo?

Wondering how quiet this is when fired out of a bolt action rifle with a minimum 11" inch barrel. Is it like only hearing the firing pin hit the primer if using a bolt action rifle? If someone was standing next to the rifle when it is fired how far away would they have to be where it would almo...

6.5 Creedmor more popular than 300 Blackout?

TC makes a bolt action rifle called the Compass. It comes standard with a threaded barrel, magazine, and MSRP of $399, so it's probably about $320-$330 which is a great bargain. It won Outdoor Life's Rifle of the Year in 2016. I thought this would be a great rifle to compete with the Ruger American ...

Re: Thompson Center TC Compass in 300 Blackout - Ruger American Ranch Rifle killer?

Got this reply from TC today. I wondering if they already thought of this and will be unveiling it at SHOT Show. Any new calibers we will be announced for 2017 at this year's SHOT show, but as far as future offerings of calibers I will get this passed along so it can be considered for the future. Sm...

Re: Thompson Center TC Compass in 300 Blackout - Ruger American Ranch Rifle killer?

And certainly you can believe everything that you hear coming from the SHOT show. All of those new products are just stacked in the warehouse, waiting to be shipped. (Ha!) Reality is that a lot of the products are mockups or custom one-offs to see the reactions and to help decide if anyone will buy...

Re: Thompson Center TC Compass in 300 Blackout - Ruger American Ranch Rifle killer?

300black you only have 8 posts on this forum and two of them are threads started bashing the Ruger. Not sure what your point is but the Ruger is extremely popular on here and doubtful you'll get any sympathy. Several times now you've commented about value priced .300bo bolt guns and several times i...

Thompson Center TC Compass in 300 Blackout - Ruger American Ranch Rifle killer?

The TC Compass is a gun that's MSRP is $399 so it would be considerably cheaper than the Ruger American Ranch Rifle which is arguably the most popular 300 Blackout bolt action rifle. The RARR's MSRP is $529. Street price for the TC should be about $300, about $75-90 less than the RARR. It comes stan...

Re: CZ entering the game

I have the wood stocked version in 7.62x39. It's a nice rifle, but had some issues that a rifle costing that much (I paid about $700 Because Alaska) shouldn't have had. Eventually got it working OK and I'm pretty happy with it now. I had it threaded 1/2-28 because the barrel didn't have enough meat...

Re: What's the best 300 Blackout Bolt-Action Rifle and what's the best value priced 300 Blackout Bolt-Action Rifle?

The best rifle would be the one you have built by a precision rifle maker. I am friends with a few individuals who can perform such work for you. I think the answer to your question depends on what you find important in a rifle. A manufacturer may have strengths in those areas where another one doe...

Re: What's the best 300 Blackout Bolt-Action Rifle and what's the best value priced 300 Blackout Bolt-Action Rifle?

Im pretty happy with my remington 700 . I suppose I got lucky and have had no issues other than the cheesy stocks they come with . If I didnt already own the remington I would be looking hard at the cz offering . My stepson has one in 7.62x39 and it is alot of rifle for the money. I looked but didn...
