    With the entry level rifle market saturated, I would think TC to avoid such.

    The Compass and Compass 2 was selling well.
    They had a nicer rifle but I believe it was called the Venture II. I never seen one in person but read about them they were definitely a step up.
    IIRC they used 5R barrels.
    I have a few barrels with 5R rifling I can't say they are more accurate, but they definitely clean up much easier.

    T/C, the last I knew, were being manufactured under the Smith & Wesson brand.
    So, S&W bought them out, and realized it wasn't a good fit for them?
    Should have stuck to what was the T/C bread and butter.
    That would be the Contender and Encore lines.

    I've been looking for a shotgun barrel for my New Englander. Can't find one that's owned by a seller who's not on crack.

    Would love to find a lefty version, too.
