Yes,I'm well aware of when the company that owns S&W acquired TC. The differences in the actions is exactly what I'm talking about. Check out the sales #s or ask your local gunshop how many flyers we've gotten with S&W I-bolts on clearance. I don't think the I-bolt is going to make it especially since the same company owns both. The better, more popular, more widely known/familiar rifle is going to win out instead of them trying to continue to sell both.

stlking bear not sure if you know but s&w own tompson center the icon and i bolt have the exact same barrells just a slightly different action it is to no effect though because i would still recomend the rem 700 because the icon is over priced and there is a recent recall on the i bolt
