#1 Missing the Saturday in Guns column, Ah'l report the following...

Smith&Wesson bought Thompson/Center firearms.
Academy Sports is discount selling the Thompson/Center economy line of Compass rifles at $274. S&W is offering a $50 rebate on a prepaid debit card for each rifle purchased. Academy Sports is giving a $25 store credit for each purchase. I bought a new 22" 6.5 Creedmoor for $200.

Supposedly 6.5 ammo is expensive. Federal is offering a $5.00 rebate on each box of 20 rounds, so @$11.00/box off the shelf. Discount online ammo shops may have deeper discounts.

#2 Just shot a 6.5 Creedmoor a week ago. Very impressive pattern, even for an old, blind man. My standard is hitting a soft ball size circle at 100m. One fellow was hitting a golf golf ball size groups at 100m, a ragged few keyholes as well. Imagine what he'll be able to do when he gets to be my age.
