The Ever-Evolving ICON

from: Guns & Ammo 2010-04-22

 The Warlord: Thompson/Center’s first-ever bolt action has now reached a peak of accuracy and tactical sophistication.

Only four years have passed since the unveiling of Thompson/Center’s first bolt action, the Icon. After a century and a quarter of development, there is very little genuinely new about a turnbolt action. Certainly, this applies to the Icon, but T/C was able to utilize its expertise in close-tolerance machining to create a rigid, accuracy-enhancing action, and T/C was able to tap into, if not 125 years of development, at least recent developments in determining the features shooters were looking for..

ICON 30TC

The 30TC

The Data Speaks for Itself. This is One Mean Cartridge!

T/C and Hornady have teamed up to create the 30TC, a cartridge designed to work perfectly with T/C’s ICON. It’s a .30 caliber medium action cartridge with the velocity and knock-down power of a 30-06 cartridge.

Specifically designed for Thompson/Center’s ICON bolt action rifle, the 30TC is quite possibly the most revolutionary cartridge ever developed. Its optimized case geometry and advanced propellants exceed 30-06 ballistics performance in a medium action case. The 30TC requires 25% less powder than a 30-06 cartridge resulting in 15% less recoil.

30TC is available in ICON and Venture.
