Thompson Center Icon Precision Hunter 204 Ruger value

[Pyscodog]

I'm thinking of selling mine and finding a value is tough. Nothing to judge by on any of the usual places. Mine is a 204 Ruger, heavy fluted barrel in a brown laminate stock. Shot very little and in very nice shape. I took it to a very small show and got a few really low offers. Its a very nice rifle and shoots great and I will keep it before I sell at low ball prices. But on a flip side, maybe I think its worth more than it is. Everything I found on the internet was sold and no price as what they sold for.

Thanks!

Might post your question over on Graybeard forum, lots of Contender discussions over there.

This is a bolt action but thanks. I may try there as well. Maybe I'll just end up keeping it.

Saw an ad for a new one at $938.00 but don't know when it was posted.

I really don't know when they were first produced, but from what I understand they were only available for a few years then discontinued. I've had other T/C variants and all have shot very well. Why they were discontinued I have no idea. But the Precision Hunter only lasted a few years. I think the Venture was the replacement, for the Icon, then it was discontinued and the Compass replace it. A down hill spiral in quality IMO.

Thanks 1raggedhole. I got a couple of low ball offers but turned them down. Its a nice rifle and shoots well. I may just keep it. It doesn't eat much. LOL!

Thanks again-Bill

My Icon PH is one of the most rare, a 6.5 Creedmoor.
This one can (and usually does) shoot sub 1/2 MOA groups and cold bore is always dead on to where it is zeroed.
It is, in spite of the fluted barrel, a bit on the heavy side and mine wears a NF 3.5-15 NXS to make it even heavier but I don't have to carry it far and it helps soak up that recoil from the mighty 6.5 Creedmoor .
I have used it to take white tail deer, Axis deer, pigs and coyotes and never failed to produce DRT.
Now, as to your PH in 204, I would say just hold on to it. Smith & Wesson, owners of TCA, has officially announced the brand is shut down so it could become quite a bit more valuable.

Mine is a little on the heavy side but being 204R there is little to no recoil. Mine has a Bushnell Nitro 6-24x50 so that adds a little weight also. It shoots 39 grain Blitzkings into very small groups. I still think T/C screwed the pooch when they stopped making these.
