Thompson Center TC Compass in 300 Blackout?

[Aim1]

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 standard with a threaded barrel for a suppressor, muzzlebrake, or flashhider, 5 round magazine, and adjustable trigger. It seems very similar to the Ruger American Ranch Rifle. The only problem is that it doesn't come in .300 Blackout with a 16.5" barrel. This seems like the perfect gun to compete with the RARR and is even cheaper. All it needs is the shorter barrel and .300 Blackout caliber. It won the 2016 Guns & Ammo Rifle of the Year award. The .300 Blackout has become extremely popular with high ammo availability now and many people are using suppressors with the .300 Blackout caliber. If HPA (Hearing Protection Act) passes, I could see more and more companies making shorter barreled rifles in .300 Blackout that are suppressor ready.

Why aren't they making this in .300 Blackout with a 16.5" barrel?


Anyone know if TC is considering coming out with it this rifle in .300 Blackout with a 16.5" barrel? (Maybe they are already working on it.)

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.
