Default RE: Anyone tried the new Thompson/Center Icon?

I have the Icon in .308 win... gun is an absolute tack driver!!

3/8" cloverleaf at 100 yards, andsub 1-inch groupsat 200 yrds w/inexpensive Federal power-shok 150 grain soft points.

Only thing I personally do not like is the bolt handle design - i'm more of a traditionalist here. Wood on mine is better than average quality. Trigger (adjusted for 3lb pull) is very crisp and absolutely NO creep.

Overall gun with scope is a tad heavy, but not too bad.

IMO ... you will behard pressed to find a better gun for the money.
