my only issue with the T/C break-action single shots is that they seem to be in general more fussy about accuracy than a bolt action rifle. given the choice between an ICON and say a pro-hunter in something like a .308, I'll take the ICON every day. With the action bedding, good trigger, etc., it's just more likely to shoot accurately and consistently OOTB. Although there definitely seem to be some gunsmiths out there than can tune up an Encore to be a tackdriver.
