As long as new stuff gets gun nuts like us foaming at the mouth to buy new toys, the shooting industry is able to continue being profitable and improve their products, and it's all good.  Although it's true we don't "need" any new cartridges, rifles, scopes, bullets, powders, etc., the fact is if there weren't any new product introductions enticing gun fanatics to go out and buy the latest and greatest, the shooting industry would be stagnant, wither and die.  Again, Man Law (section III, E, 2) states that "a man is totally justified in buying anything solely because it's cool."

RD, you got it right. My favorite quote:"I never saw an armored car following a hearse." Second favorite:"The objective of life is to be sure the check for your funeral bounces."
I will be among the first in line for a new TC ICON in 30 TC for no other reason
than I WANT IT!

+1.  I sure like the looks of the Icon.  It has some very innovative features!  I especially like the integral scope bases, aluminum bedding block, 5R button rifled barrel, recessed bolt shroud, and overall style and countours of the receiver!  Out of the current chamberings offered, I'd probably go with the 30TC as well -- a hotter version of the .308.  In addition, it has some pretty sexy lines, and from the pics I've seen so far, it looks like they may be shipped with some decent wood figure.  I'll wait until it's out awhile, but it's definitely on my list of potential new firearms purchases!
