I'll give my two cents here. I recently purchased a Montana X2 Colorado Buck edition 7mm mag. It comes with the Montana muzzle brake, cerakote finish, and a Leopold 4.5-14x40 CDS scope. It is without a doubt the most accurate rifle I own. My first trip to the range I shot a half inch three shot...

6mm shooter, how do you like your model 40? I have been seriously thinking about getting one. I am particularly interested to hear if you have tried any of the hornady factory loads with the 35 grain v-max's. I have heard some other folks say that the model 40 does not like the lighter, faster...

Does anyone know of any on-line retailers that are currently taking pre-orders for the Icon. I would like to be able to actually send someone a check and get my name on a list, as I fear that these rifles are going to be scarce! Hey Ian, how about some of those pictures you said you could share...

Well, Thompson Center has updated their website with all the information concerning the Icon and Triumph, as well as their entire 2007 catalog. Also, the Hornady website has been updated with info. about the .30 T/C cartridge.

Well, I was just watching the live broadcast of NRA news.com from the SHOT show, and happened to catch the part where they were interviewing the president of Smith and Wesson. I actually sent in a question via instant messenger concerning Smith and Wesson bolt action rifles. The long and short...

Just wondering if any of the members of this forum were fortunate enough to be at the SHOT show. Hoping someone did, and perhaps took their laptop with them. I am particularly interested in the Smith and Wesson bolt action that IanM mentioned. Also any news about all of Thompson Center's new...

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...

Ian, thanks again for the info. I am afraid I dont currently subscribe to north american hunter, but maybe I can track down an issue when the article comes out. Since you seem to have the inside track at Thompson Center, just wondering if you think we can expect more new products down the road...

Ian, thanks for the quick reply. I cant wait to get my hands on one of these Icons! My only concern is the .30 T/C cartridge. Can you give any background as to why Thompson Center decided to introduce yet another .30 caliber cartridge into the market? It seems like the market has about all the...

Ian M, just wondering if you could share any more details with us since the news about the Icon has hit the major gun rags now. Just picked up the latest Guns and Ammo, with the Icon on the cover. great article and lots of good pictures of the rifle. I am curious about future versions of the gun...

I have the opportunity to buy a mark v synthetic in .240 weatherby for a very reasonable price. The rifle is like new, and has been shot maybe 15-20 times. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with this caliber, as I do not. I have experience with the .257 and .300 wby. mags, and...

Hello everyone, I am new to the this forum, but I have been lurking for about a week now. I have been following the T/C Icon, ever since the news slipped out on a certain website a few weeks ago. I have already told my gunshop to call their distributor and have my name put on one of the first...
