Default Get a grip!!!
Am I the only person out there that thinks that Thompson Center has one of the coolest looking and functioning stocks around. That pistol grip type Its so unique that it is kind of there trademark look, identifiable from 100yrd's away. So I believe that they should have put it on there bolt actions as well (add long action as well please).

x2 I love the TC ...Not to mention the extra barrel lenth you get with the break action, and its hardly noticalble...LOVE T/C...if only the ICON was in long action that'd be sweet...

The Icon has been available in a long action in cartridges like the 7RM, 30/06 and 300 WM for two years.

I haven't checked the specs but maybe they mean the 375 h&h length cartridges don't fit. 300 RUM etc.

They are unique for sure, but personally I don't like them - and this coming from a single shot looney!
