To all,
I looked at a new TC Icon rifle yesterday at the gunshop. Its too heavy and is loaded with undesirable features that, in my view, has no chance in the market at the price that they are asking.
The bolt handle is beyond ugly. Its some sort of an effort to have a Euro look but with no style. The magazine is a very cheap plastic thing thats in the way of your hand when you carry the rifle. There is a lot more that I don't like about it but its not worth the effort to even mention it.
Right behind the TC Icon on another horizontal mount was a new Ruger Hawkeye in 257R. The Hawkeye is a handsome rifle and it was priced at $599. The TC Icon was priced at $849. Thats $250 more. We asked the dealer and he said that he has to pay well over $700 for the Icon.
All there felt that the Icon was not worth a second look.
Here is one priced at over a thousand dollars.
Icon for over a grand LOL
