RE: T/C Icon
I haven't seen any yet but I've been reading alot about them. I like the idea of the alum bedding block epoxyed into the stock and the mating flat bottomed receiver with 3 screws fastening it down in stead of the usual 2. The integral weaver style base is also a good idea.
I believe that the latest Petersen's Hunting Mag has an article in it. T/C guarantees sub-MOA accuracy but there test gun shot a bit bigger. I'd probably have one if I wasn't a lefty.
The 30 T/C cartridge that came out with it looks like a good one. It sounds like another .308 type cartridge but aparently Hornady developed a high efficiency propellant that pushes out a 150 gr bullet somewhere in the neighborhood of 2900 fps. This is 30-06 velocity out of a short action rifle. This powder I don't guess will be avaliable to the handloader for a while - whatever it is so I don't see the handloader being able to duplicate factory loads.
