[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 785617, member: 7123"] Thanks for the input; went with .30-06. Much as I miss my beloved .270, it's really be pre-empted by the very-similar yet arguably-superior .280 rem. I think the .270 is gone for good as a caliber in my collection. I still may reload for it for my buddy and brother who have one. MoBoost, thanks but I have 6 or 7 muzzleloading rifles including 4 Hawkens. Maybe 8; love them. I have many bows also. And many other rifles too; these are just my deer/elk/plains game, etc. hunters. I'm buying it (did buy it) because I'm very keen on the Icon value including the 1 MOA accuracy *certification* (which is better than a guarantee), and want the rifle, and want to take advantage of the $150 rebate. I now have two Icons, which are bar none, the best turnbolt rifle value going in the world right now - well at least in the USA. And also just because I'm one of those 'gun nuts' and I have a major stiffie for beautiful, high-quality turnbolt rifles for some reason. Also because I hope and plan to do a LOT of hunting in N.A. and elsewhere before I croak, particularly after retirement, and I want to be "ready to go" when I hit retirement so I can do more hunting and less messing with gear and familiarizing myself with rifles and how they shoot. Get this - the rebate I'll be getting from T/C will total $225 - $150 for the Icon, and $75 more if you buy a Nikon Monarch scope simultaneously with the Icon. Or instead you could get +$50 for a Buckmaster Coyote scope, or +$25 for a ProStaff scope. So I got a Monarch 2-8x32mm, and Leupold PRW rings (nice rings). I'm about to assemble this rig as soon as I get some yard work done! You got that straight, JMiller! :D :thumb2: Well, it might *equal* the 700 CDL/Mountain in .280! Hey, anyone know WHICH factory 'reduced recoil' .30-06 load is the highest quality / most accurate? What is there, just Rem & Win? Or do Federal and Hornady have a R.R. load? [/QUOTE]
