[QUOTE="JasonH, post: 135239, member: 7053"] I predict that the Icon will be a huge success. I plan on ordering or, pre-ordering one in the next week or so. I think it has all the best features that hunters look for in a rifle. I have heard some people complaining about the weight, but I really dont think that will be a problem. I dont know about everyone else, but most hunters here in north carolina take their rifle out of the case, throw it in a gun scabbard on an atv, pull up under their deer stand, and climb the tree. With that kind of hunting, weight is not an issue at all. I have absolutely no need for a lightweight rifle, so the Icon will suit me just fine. As for future versions of the rifle, I would be willing to bet that we will see a synthetic stocked version before next fall. It should be fairly simple to drop the Icon action into a synthetic stock. Hopefully the stock will include some of the recoil reducing features of the new encore pro hunter stock. I would love to see an Icon with a realtree camo stock, perhaps in the new All Purpose pattern. I would also be willing to bet that Nikon will come out with a scope specifically made for the new .30 T/C cartridge, just like they did with their new Omega muzzleloading scope. There is just too much of a relationship between Greg Ritz and Nikon for that not to happen at some point. I also hope that there will be a predator hunter version of the Icon, chambered in .223 and .22-250, perhaps with a full camo job, a 21 or 22 inch barrel, and a tactical type bolt handle.
