First 308

[Sonofsammo]

Well.... She's mine! Hurrah!
And a thing of beauty she is too.
Took her for a spin yesterday. Only had chance to put 21 rounds through, which allowed me chance to sight her in.
I had to do it on a wooden rest, which wasn't ideal, which leads me too...
No bipod currently - something else I know nothing about.
Any advice on which bipod to get (and how it attaches, as there's scant information I can find relating to fixing one to a TRG22) would be much appreciated. Am hoping to not spend more than £200 (so probably $200).
TIA

Honestly, the best alternative is a TRG bipod as well. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive. The only piece of advice I can give you is that occasionally Beretta (which apparently owns Sako) has a 50% off sale - at least here in the U.S. That's how I picked up the bipod and a spare mag.

Oh, and the Sako bipod literally snaps in to the front of the rifle.

I just looked - £375 ($530)!!! Oh my days!
Sadly well outside my purchasing power at present.

Congrats on the rifle, color me jealous.

Unfortunately, they are spendy.

Sako - TRG 22/42 M08 Bipod

Original all-steel TRG bipod offers an extremely stable, adjustable and quick detachable support for long range shooting. The barrel rests below the pivot point and the legs fold to the rear and forward. Wide serrated feet add to the stability. Phosphate coated.

You could consider something like this, but it isn't for field use.

There is an adapter for the Harris bipod. It fits in the rail on the bottom of the stock:

Make sure You get the swivel model with notches. The S-BRM if most of your shooting is from the bench, the 9-13 model is a bit better for field use.
Also pick up a pod lok. It is a lever that replaces the nut used to tighten and loosen the locking nut. It allows you to adjust the tension without a wrench. There are several companies that make them, including Harris. Just search for Harris bipod lever.

There's only one PodLoc.

Congrats on your TRG!
I've owned one for years, and it's always a pleasure to use.

Got hold of a lovely Tier One (Third Eye) bipod. £300 new, but got it for £200, which wasn't bad at all.
