T/C Icon

[beemanbeme]

In this month's issue (sept) of American Rifleman, there was a nice write up on the T/C Icon.  It seems to have several innovative things that I find interesting. The butter knife bolt handle and the bolt shroud make it look kinda german or "different" but overall I kinda like the looks.  The wooden stock is to die for.  I don't know if it was a one off for the writer or if joe ordinary can expect a well figured piece of walnut also.  It comes in .308 but not 7-08 which is a turn off to me.
Has anyone actually seen or handled one of these rifles???

i was thinking the same thing about the wood. its suspose to be a peice of blackwalnut on each gun. i am going to get one though!

I read somewhere that there was about 1,000 or so wooden blanks for the stocks, and those are the ones that are really nice.  However, the article said something along the lines of "but once they are gone - they're gone," and then other wood will be used for the stocks.  I guess only time will tell.

I went to local gun shop today and finally got to see and hold a icon ,very nice rifle in .308 ,great wood and nice rich bluing ,trigger was nice but not the price 949.00,i think it is a winner for tc arms.

did it have the pretty blackwalnut?

[billy]

Yes the stock is very nice ,would like to bring it home with me .

I wouldn't pay $949 for it.  Bring it down along the lines of $700 and I'd think about it.

gun broker has some on there now. not worth the $1000.. i would rather have a remington model 7 cdl.. it looks way better and it lighter for $700-800. i would buy the t/c for $700 not for $1000. i just bought another encore and i love it its dealy accurate i would like to see how their bolt works i bet its a true tack driver.
