The Icon is the best production rifle on the market right now. TC looked at all the actions ever developed and designed a new one that combined all the best features. The boys at TC didn't stop there, they developed a better bedding system and put match grade barrel with the R5 rifling. These are great rifles. Handle very well, great trigger a lot of really nice features, hands down better than the new 700's. I may be a little bias, but I've shot both guns and handled them and the Icon is one of the best rifles to come out in a long time.
