[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 134875, member: 25"] Jason, Good questions. I understand there will be a separate S&W bolt action rifle introduced at SHOT. Have no other info other than there is one and they are using good barrels. Believe there is one primary reason for the intro of the new .30 cartridge - marketing. Slightly shorter cartridge length, changed shoulder angle, new powder. If they can improve accuracy as well as get that velocity they will have a nasty deer cartridge for sure. Hornady is developing this baby, they will get it right. Gregg Ritz does things right. Whatever venture he goes with he does very well, that is a good thing for both S&W and T/C. There is some more info on Sniperhide, under the section called RIFLES, hopefully a picture of the new tactical ICON that GA Precision built for SHOT. I have not seen it yet but hope to shoot one in the future. Believe several magazines will have features on the ICON this month, my biggest article will be in the next North American Hunter, will have lots of info on both the ICON and TRIUMPH. Extra length to get all the info into the story, about a half dozen images. My story will be different since it goes into the background of the development of the ICON, no other writer was there for some of that stuff. I got the pictures, they are interesting. [/QUOTE]
