Can't say I have been too impressed with the Icon, ugly rifles, and the wood to metal fit is less than desirable

Never had one but did handle one. It seemed nice enough, but was heavy. I don't think I would ever buy one though.

We finally got a few in our shop. I have to say that I like this rifle a lot. It is a heavier rifle but the fit and finish is well done.

The stock has very nice wood on it, it is a Ultra Walnut stock from S&K gunstocks. The bolt operates very smoothly although being a bit bulky, the trigger is excelent for a factory rifle, andI like the idea of the integrated Weaver style bases machined into the top of the receiver.

My only grype about this rifle is the plastic magazine.
