[QUOTE="LightfootE, post: 615770, member: 42435"] Looking to buy a new rifle in 6.5creedmoor. I Had my mind set on ordering a TC icon weathershield, only then to find that browning is now offering 6.5creed in their long range hunting rifles. I have newer handled an Icon so its tough knowing weather I will fall in love or not. A-bolts are hit and miss for me, I like a lot of the features they offers, but the bolt on some of the ones I've handle feel a little clunky..... I've come to be some what spoiled owning tikkas, I expect rifles to be very accurate first and foremost, then a smooth operating bolt, and a nice light crisp trigger. From what i have read it seems like the Icon guarantees accuracy like the tikka and also has nice trigger and smooth bolt. On the other hand, the browning is more the style I'm after, laminate stock, long med heavy fluted barrel......... having never played with either rifle and finding no info on the browning long range hunters, I'm having a tough time making up my mind. Hoping that someone here can give a kick in the butt in the right direction. The rifle will be used mostly as a target/fun rifle but it will also see time in the woods after deer and hogs. I know someone here is going to recommend Savage, but they are just too ugly and clunky for my picky taste. thanks a bunch for any help Eric [/QUOTE]
