Thompson Centre Icon .243- My New Purchase

[idbltap]

Hey Guys,
Picked this gun up from another CGN'er, very low rounds and in great shape. I added the scope and bi-pod. I will be sighting it in this weekend.

Hoping to add it to my keepers for yote's

Take a few more pics BUT with some snow in the background would ya?

Interesting looking bolt and receiver, I've never seen one. I like it.

I have owned 4 tc icons I think they are the best rifle you can get for the money,they are very accurate two of mine would group under half inch and the other two was just over half inch.I have owned quite a few sako's and none of mine would shoot as good as the tc icons

You are going to be very happy with that rifle!!

Sighted in and ready for Saturday morning! Early morning calling!
The VX-3 3.5-10x40mm was money well spent.

Really sweet ! I've been looking for a varmint gun aswell!

Is the mag detachable ?

Yes the magazine is made of plastic, I worry about it getting cold, brittle and snapping in the winter. However, everything I read says they hold up pretty well.
When I first looked at the gun and I looked at the features it has to offer I was intrigued, maybe its hype but the gun very solid.

I wouldn't worry about that, pretty much all snowmobile skis are made of plastic nowadays.

I adore these guns, such beauties. Enjoy!

I have one and I like it as much as anything else I own -
To those that question the plastic mags - has anyone ever heard of a problem with a plastic TC or Tikka mag??? Nope. That should put that issue to rest once and for all.
Great gun! And nice looking too!

Well, I was out for a bit this morning. I didn't see anything but the trip was worth while, I learnd I need to set up my gear a little different. I think im going to scrap the bi-pod and go to a stick so I can shoot sitting. Secondly, a leather sling is in order, just to make humping it a little easier. Third, I need a backpack to bring gear with me. It sure was nice just sitting and enjoying the sunrise.
