Anyone here have one of these in a magnum caliber? It can be a gen 1, 2, or utility model. I'm just wondering what the recoil is like on an inexpensive magnum rifle. Love the rifle? Hate it? Wish you never heard the name Thompson Center?
I'm looking at possibly getting a 300 win mag bolt action and want to spend less than $1K on it. I want to go cheap in case I hate the caliber, if I like it I'll plan to buy a better rifle in the future.
The Compass seems to be the cheapest but also similar in weight to a more expensive Bergara and about a pound lighter than the much more expensive Weatherby Mark V (all without an optic). Not committed to the Compass, it just seems to be available so I figured I'd ask if anyone had experience with magnum calibers in it.
