[QUOTE="glewis, post: 807381, member: 53719"] In my earlier post regarding the Model 70 extreme sporter, the main reason I pulled the trigger on purchasing one was that it featured a B&C medalist stock with full length alum bedding. This is very similar to the interlok bedding system the Icon uses. Judging from my results at the range, these accurizing methods may be wasted on me but I appreciate the emphasis at the manufacturing level on a factory rifle. I bought into the TC marketing regarding the bedding system, floated match grade barrel, 5R rifling, etc. Looking at the Winchester site I noticed similar characteristics on the extreme weather (stainless), but thought $1000 was a bit much. Once I verified the extreme sporter from SW was just a blued version of the extreme weather for only 2/3's the money, I jumped all over it. At the time, in order to find similar design/manufacture in a weatherby, I could have looked at the Mark V Accumark, which easily sold for $1700+....and guaranteed to shoot 1.5" [/QUOTE]
