Have you guys had a chance to look at the new Thompson Center Venture Predator? Have a look and tell me what you think about it. I find it odd that they brought a lower cost predator hunting rifle to the market to compete with their own Icon line of rifles... especially since they did just come out with that Icon Precision Hunter which was supposedly built for predator hunting. ;)

Link and picture below. Any thoughts?

Honestly?

Thats got to be one of the ugliest rifles I have ever seen. I like a wood stock, not all this plastic garbage and I dont do well with camo either. Its just a way to screw up the looks of an otherwise pretty good looking rifle, cover up crap looking plastic and sell to those who dont know much better.

To each his own Furhunter. I have a camo stock Steverns Model 200 XP in .223 and am quite happy with it. Fortunately, we all have a choice.
I'm trying to think but nothing happens.
