Thompson/Center now offers bolt-action rifles at three price levels: the Dimension, Venture and Compass.
The Compass is intended to compete with the increasing number of budget-priced bolt actions that have lately entered the market. The Compass comes with a guarantee to shoot one inch, three-shot groups at 100 yards. That’s a tall order for a rifle with a suggested retail price of $399.
The Compass has several features found on economy rifles from other manufacturers, like a full diameter bolt with a short, 60 degree lift and three locking lugs, a detachable polymer magazine and basic synthetic stock. The rifle also includes premium features, such as an adjustable trigger, three-positon safety, a threaded muzzle to accept a compensator, muzzle brake or suppressor and a button-rifled barrel with 5R rifling. The Compass is chambered in such cartridges as the .204 Ruger, .223, .22-250, .243, .270, 7mm-08, .308 and .30-06 with 22-inch barrels, and the 7mm Remington Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum with 24-inch barrels. Rifles weigh 7.25 pounds chambered in standard cartridges, and 7.5 pounds in the two magnum cartridges.

Remington's Model 722 and .222 Cartridge
It's easy enough to define what a varmint is, those pesky critters that tear up pastures, flower beds and all kinds of expensive crops people need for various reasons - most importantly, to make a living and/or something with which to feed themselves.
