[QUOTE="glewis, post: 806931, member: 53719"] I own 2 Icons, one in .308, the other a 30-06. I'm very happy with mine, they both shoot better than I, the .308 probably has delivered the best groups of any rifle I own. I also have the Model 70 extreme sporter in 300 wsm. This is a great buy at Sportsmans Whse. If the Icon is no longer, wouldn't one be able to get a good enough deal that leftovers or used rifles would still be a consideration. My only beef with my Icons is both have dbm's, I prefer hinged floorplates. Their triggers are much better than what I'm used to on earlier rifles. Overall, I average under 1.5" groups using factory hunting ammo. There's an occasional 3/8", 5/8" 3-shot group. I question my physical ability, set-up and technique to deliver consistent minimum size groups. So much of the shooter's ability is at stake when determining rifle accuracy, and I'm happy with my results with the Icon. I'm an Icon fan, glad I got a couple when I did. The Model 70 I mentioned above is the best buy in my safe, not the cheapest, but the best bang for the buck. Can't really afford to plink it much, so far with my talent, the accuracy delivered is similar to the Icon. Great trigger. [/QUOTE]
