can you quantify your statement because without any reasons why the browning are quote full of crap and piece of sh it, it really doesnt have any merrit. Like I said I have a new A bolt and am very happy with it ...just wondering what problems you have had. I am waiting for the new weatherby S2 to arrive as well. MOA, like the TC and a new trigger. I have a Citori that has well over 200 000 rounds thru it and not a single problem. My experience with Brownings have always been positive. I like the looks of the Icon but just cant get passed how over marketed TC arms have been. I have no doubt the icon is a straight shooter.

Buy a Savage 116/16 FCSS with Accustock.... And be done with choosing
A bolt is a better rifle than an X bolt. The X bolt is geared more as a wicked light little hunting rifle, kinda like a tikka t3. An A bolt might be a closer comparison to a Icon. To me the ergonomics of the xbolt are shorter and slimmer and the rifle feels uncomfortable and small to me, and I'm only 6'1. But plenty of people feel the rifle fits them great and they are my size.
The Icon is defiantly heavier, yet the thomspon centre rifles put alot more emphasis into accuarcy than anything else it seems. The duratouch is a nice feature on the browning, however the Icons weather shield coating is a similar feel, but probably not quite as nice.
Pick em both up, whatever fits best, go with, you wont go wrong with either.
Dang waited to long haha, good choice

My Tc Icon is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned.
Heading back to the range finally tailored a super handload for my TC Icon Warlord, i had a ball with 178 gr amax but it is really with the 155 gr Lapua Scenar that i got the best groups, installed my S&B 5X25X56 got to zero it, installed a 6 inch swivel Harris bipod, i am tuning what could be the most accurate rifle i ever owned, future will tell... Cheers. JP.
