Post by: Missing on August 11, 2010, 10:06:42 PM: Nope I bought it and the rebate says all icon rifles $150 venture $75 and TC barrels $50. Even if the rebate does not the field grade Icon on Gun broker the cheapest was $699

Post by: SeaRun1 on August 24, 2010, 04:31:54 PM: Thanks for the offer Sherpa. I had actually never handled one before and tried out the Icon in a larger caliber. It was not a good fit for me and felt kinda heavy. I have a .243 anyway. I was surprised that I really liked both the Tikka T3 and the Browning X-Bolt the best of what was in stock between SW and Cabelas. I was just passing on the info to save someone a trip. Appreciate it though.
