Icon Action from Thompson/Center
One of the most interesting factory actions on display at SHOT Show was the Thompson/Center Icon. It’s very robust and features multiple lugs on the bottom that mate with a metal bedding platform. Unlike Remington, Sako, or Remington actions, the T/C icon features three integral recoil lugs, CNC-milled bedding block, a large-diameter bolt, and extremely sturdy bottom metal.

GA Precision will also build a special run of detachable-magazine tactical rifles using the new “Icon” action.

I just acquired an ICON in .308 and am VERY impressed with the design, fit and finish of this rifle. I cannot wait for the weather to clear so I can start shooting groups.
I have been considering inquiring of Thompson if they were going to make the action available as a stand-alone purchase for those of us interested in other calibers and stock choices. Take a look at what this rifle has to offer for for less than 900 dollars.
