hoghntr Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Thompson Center Compass has a $75 rebate plus sale on some sites and could buy 6.5 for like $199 no scope and barrel is threaded so can buy a brake for $75 same site. Pkg deals were $280ish and then brake if wanted is $75 then mail in $75 rebate. I'm searching for which place it was but rebate is thru Dec 31. I have never shot a Compass The $199 might be after rebate??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duxngeez Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Hard to beat this deal. It will be plenty of gun but not too much recoil because of the brake. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/74437-savage-110-30-06-with-muzzle-break-nikon-scope-kids-model-for-trade-for-scope/ I did the exact same thing for my son when he was 8. No issue with recoil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
