.75", a few around .5" and a couple just under .4". I love the gun. Be sure and check for rebates, I think they have one right now.

I won a Beretta shotgun last Friday night at homecoming football game in a raffle. I went to the gun shop and instead of getting the shotgun that would sit in my safe forever and never be used I traded it in for a Remington 700 6.5 CM with the heavy barrel. It is for my daughter to deer hunt with. I figured with the heavy barrel and low recoil it would be perfect for her. Topped it off with a Vortex scope. So.... for the gun, scope, rings, sling, bullets and case I probably have $60 in the whole setup!!!

Cant say there has been much bad said about the TC compass. Seems like a pretty good bang for your buck rifle. 6.5 creedmoor is a pretty good cartridge. Lower recoil than a 308. It has better BCs and will over take the 308 in velocity and energy when they get out passed 500yds in most factory ammo varieties. There are a couple factory ammo make/model in 308 that will hold up to the 6.5 CM past 500 yds but wont match it at greater distances.

I'm loving mine for ease of loading, accuracy and low recoil. Effective deer killin power out to most reasonable ranges. I know there are many others that can do the same but the fact that you can get Lapua brass for this plus inexpensive Hornady ammo that shoots very good to lights out it's a really cool combo.
