Thompson/Center Venture Gen I .30-06 Bolt-Action Rifle with 24" 5R Barrel, Adjustable Trigger, Bipod & Cheek Riser
This first-generation Thompson/Center Venture pairs a button-rifled 24-inch sporter barrel featuring 5R rifling with a smooth three-lug bolt that cycles at a quick 60° lift. Factory pillar bedding, a user-adjustable single-stage trigger, and T/C’s one-inch-at-100-yards accuracy guarantee give the rifle a reputation for dependable field performance. Added scope bases, a Harris-pattern bipod, and a clip-on cheek riser make this .30-06 ready for optics and steady shooting right out of the box.

The Venture’s 24-inch barrel is cut from blued steel, uses 5R rifling, and ends in a recessed crown to protect accuracy in the field. The 1:10 twist stabilizes a broad range of .30-06 bullet weights.
A three-lug bolt gives a short 60° throw, keeping the handle clear of large scope eyepieces while speeding follow-up shots. The two-position rocker safety presents clear tactile feedback, and a cocking indicator at the bolt shroud provides at-a-glance status.
The synthetic stock features grey Hogue-style traction inserts and pillar bedding for consistent action support. A detachable three-round magazine feeds reliably, while the clip-on cheek riser helps the shooter achieve a comfortable eye line with optics.
The user-adjustable single-stage trigger breaks at a crisp 3.5 pounds. Combined with the factory accuracy guarantee, this rifle is built to deliver tight groups with proper ammunition and technique.
Made in Springfield, Massachusetts, during the 2009–2019 production run, this TD-prefix Gen I Venture offers American manufacturing, practical features, and out-of-the-box readiness for hunting or range work.
