I know one person that purchased a T/C Icon Precision Hunter (I am sure he called it) with the laminate stock in a .308 caliber. He mounted a VII Leupold scope on it (I forget the magnification). He was telling me that from a bench rest, he could shoot some amazing groups out to 200 yards. I think he said it holds three or four rounds and at first this kind of surprised me, but then I thought of my Ruger M77 in 7mm mag and realized, I seldom shot more then once. So I guess that was fine. He did say the stock is heavy. But it soaks up recoil. I never got to handle it or shoot it. It was just a conversation we had about guns at a party, and he'd mentioned his new rifle.
