I just won one!! they look like a real nice rifle just curious if I should keep it or trade it??

Yep, that's a nice rifle. I would have to shoot it before parting with that one.

 

[blackdoghunting]

that is my thought also. it sure is nice looking almost ashame to paint her but I think it will have to be done!!

 

[BIGGUNGOBOOM]

from what I have heard they are a great rifle.. Id keep it and run her threw the pace's

Im told they have the R5 rifling in the barrel which tends to make them quite accurate - you may wind up liking it. Why not use camoform wrap and wrap it rather than paint it.

good idea on trhe camoform. i think i will do that instead I hate to paint a gun. they look awesome but I still have a hard time doing it.

From everything I have read they are supposed to be a very nice rifle,don't think I could paint one though. Considering the fact that you have little to nothing invested I would contact Dave at camo-solutions.com and have the gun dipped, I don't believe you would be disappointed. Over a dozen patterns to choose from, same process as factory dipped guns, just my perspective. Have not seen 'camoform' so couldn't make a comparison, but I would at least look at the website and compare before I made my decision.

Just use some removable cloth white or camo tape wrap.

The Icon is a beautiful wood stocked model and no need to paint it; keep it original. The look and shoot great.
