After I wrote the above I found and read the article in the Rifleman about the Icon. TC took some guy(s) to Africa and they shot stuff with the rifle using the new TC cartridge shooting 165 gr SST's.

Nothing in the article was news to me. They found the rifle interesting and all good. Now whats the surprise at that?

Perhaps the reason for the high price of the Icon is the low volume and the wood which is supposed to be upscale?

These articles are full of half truths such as them saying that the 30 TC or whatever it is meets 30-06 Ballistics. Since most new cartrididges introduced are factory loaded with high energy techniques I suppost they forget to mention this when thinking of Kudus and bushbucks.



All guns should be locked up when not in use!
