[QUOTE="EFR, post: 808773, member: 9643"] GLewis: All my Icons are the standard medium action, sporter. One has a solid walnut stock, the other two have ultrawood stocks. Don't sell yourself short in the accuracy department. A good trigger, good glass, and a solid rest on a calm day (usually first thing in morning here), some patience and a good gun, I'm sure you can shoot good. Westcliffe01: You are absolutely right, but in all honesty, how often do bolt action rifles need spare parts (detachable magazines excepted)? I would much prefer T/C to continue producing Icons, but it will not stop me from buying one more if they stop tomorrow. This past winter I rebuilt a Marlin 39A that I bought cheap. The lever was completely worn out and had a lot of lateral play. I could not find a lever, and Marlin would not sell me one, so I bored the hole out and made a small bronze bushing. The lever was honestly worn out, but the bore was still good and I refinished the stock and had the metal re blued. The gun was made in 1941. [/QUOTE]
