Meant to point this out the other day and didn’t get to it: First Look: Thompson-Center Renegade 2.

John Snow at the GunShots:

The T-C Renegade 2 can be thought of as the Icon’s little brother—it’s not as fancy and it isn’t as sophisticated but the family resemblance is unmistakable nonetheless.

And for those hunters for whom the Icon’s $1,000 price tag was difficult to justify the best news is that the Renegade 2 will cost about half as much. According to Gregg Ritz, the MSRP on the new rifle will be $500 and the street price should come in around $450.

I was lucky enough to be one of the first to shoot the new rifle this morning down at the legendary Gametrails hunting lodge in Western Kentucky and the initial impression it left is very good.

Available in .30-06, .270 Win, .243 Win, and 7mm Rem Mag to begin with.

Go read the whole thing.
