Thompson/Center Dimension Delivers Versatility

Thompson/Center’s Dimension bolt-action rifle has been a hit since its launch in 2012, and it remains new a year later thanks to its seemingly infinite, interchangeable parts that deliver a variety of calibers in one rifle.

The Dimension features T/C’s LOC System, which includes seven parts: a universal stock and receiver that accept multiple barrels, magazine groups (magazine and housing), bolts and bridge scope mounts. Standard hand tools work with all Dimension rifles, and its interchangeable parts are stamped with letters A, B, C or D. Simply match the letter on the barrel with the one on the bolt and magazine group for a perfect setup.

All LOC stocks, receivers, hand tools, and optional bridge scope mounts are universal and fit with all Dimension rifle components. LOC three-lug fluted bolts are stamped as Series A, B, C or D for easy identification. They fit multiple calibers within a series.

For example, a bolt stamped A fits both .204 Ruger and .223 Remington calibers. They’re available in right- and left-hand. Detachable, 3-round LOC magazine groups (magazine and housing) are included with a complete rifle or a barrel purchase. Individual magazines are sold separately. They’re stamped A, B, C or D, matching all calibers in their Series.

LOC barrels are caliber-specific and are marked as series A, B, C or D to help match the correct bolt and magazine group (magazine and housing). Precision Dimension barrels measure 22 or 24 inches. The barrels fit right- and left-hand receivers.

The Dimension is available in .204 Ruger, .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, .308 Winchester, .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 7mm Remington Magnum and .300 Winchester Magnum. Contact (800) 331-0852 or www.tcarms.com.
