The days leading up to our tests were sunny and mild. To test each rifle, we applied a simple accuracy test consisting of shooting from the 100-yard line at American Shooting Centers in Houston using a Caldwell Tack Driver rest for support. Thompson Center claims a 1-minute-of-angle accuracy guarantee no matter which caliber is chosen.
Our Series B Dimension rifle offered the most versatility, able to accept alternate barrels for 22-250 Remington, 7mm-08 Remington, and 308 Winchester as well 243 Win. Series C Dimension rifles can swap barrels for 270 Winchester and 30-06 Springfield, while the Series D includes 7mm Remington Magnum and 300 Winchester Magnum. The A series accommodates 223 Remington and 204 Ruger ammunition. The Dimension bolt-action platform can be fit with any one of four groups of Locking Optimized Components (LOC) listed as series A, B, C, and D. Thompson Center Armss $679 Dimension rifle offers the ability to accept different-caliber barrels so that the same rifle, or as the manufacturer prefers platform, can be used to hunt a wider variety of game.
Both stocks are manufactured by Hogue, using the OverMolded technique. The $641 Howa/Hogue Youth 2N1 rifles come with two different stocks so that the same Howa M1500 action will accommodate more than one shooter. In this test we will evaluate two bolt action rifles chambered for 243 Winchester that offer something extra. Not only are new manufacturing techniques making minute-of-angle bolt guns less expensive but more versatile, too. Lost in the current frenzy to hoard any and all Modern Sporting Rifles are fresh innovations being applied to bolt-action rifles.
