    TRG appreciation thread - Part III

    You sure about that? I was told the A1 is just the same old TRG barreled action in the new chassis which would make it threaded in just like any other TRG.

    What’s the profile on that barrel and what’s the price in USD?

    Keep in mind, these are Canadian prices, and with the 260 kit I would probably sell the bolt assembly because I already have a 473 A2 bolt.

    The 6.5x47 A1 barrel is $1400 The 260 A1 kit(barrel, bolt, 6 round mag) is $2240 The custom barrel would be about $1430 finished.

    So, since I bought my M2 last summer I’ve just been shooting the 22” 308 barrel(which has been awesome) but not I’m looking at picking up another short action barrel in 6mm or 6.5. My initial plan was to buy an extension and a blank and have a 6GT barrel made because it’s the smallest and most...

    AICS magazines for 270 Win - inner length?

    If you use the 30-06 3.715” mag from MDT the max internal length is 3.615”. I use them for 30-06, lots of room.

    It IS a work of art. Just received my long action today. 473 bolt face and a 30moa rail.

    Then I would go 22” medium Palma 6.5 Creedmoor with 5/8xmuxxle thread with a good 3 or 4 port side discharge brake like a Insite Heathen/ Area 419/ PVA etc.

    Depends on what you want to do with the rifle? Walking around rifle: medium or light Palma contour at 18-22” Strictly steel/ targets: 26” MTU or M24

    Still any love for the 6mm GT???

    I’m planning on a 6GT barrel for my Desert Tech SRS-M2 because it’s the smallest 6mm I can run in those mags. I was on the fence until Lapua announced brass, pushed me over the edge. Planning on a 30” 1.250 straight contour. With the short overall package of the SRS might as well go long and get...

    The ESS chassis has a few options for length of hand guard and folding rear stock. Folding stocks are great for cleaning and transport, well worth the upgrade. 18” 6.5 creed still has pretty good performance and shorter overall length can be handy. If you’re trying to stay on a budget, I...

    Accuracy International AT-X or Sako TRG22A1

    While not the exact same rifles, I had a TRG-22 and an AX308 and in the end I liked the TRG better. The barrel change on the AI is awesome but I found I didn’t have a need to swap short action calibers that much, usually stuck with one barrel. AW mags are definitely better, but I never had any...

    New to long actions with a few ?'s

    The HNT26 in “rem700” long action will only take the 3.850” mags. 3.715 will not work. The only long action HNT26 that takes a different mag is the Tikka version which takes their 3.56” mag. Which would actually work pretty well for a 7prc.

    Best brakes for combo recoil/ride reduction while directing blast away?

    The new Gen2 Heathen has been amazing for me I was looking for the exact same thing for my 22” Desert Tech 308 barrel because it’s so close to your face you get a lot blast with most breaks. This brake cuts the recoil just as good as the rest and the 90° ports means practically zero blast felt...

    New to long actions with a few ?'s

    The long action HNT26 will only accept the 3.850” mags. Shouldn’t be a deal breaker though, just buy the 300win 3.850” mags and see how it runs, will probably be fine. Worst case, the mag lips might need a little tweaking.

    Self adhesive camo bandage from Amazon, mostly to protect the scope from nicks and scrapes. I wrapped my grip too and it adds some grip and comfort, liking it so far.

    Got a Heathen gen2 to try on the 22” 308 barrel. I think the straight ports will be much more comfortable to shoot.
