Fool for Selling Sako TRG in 6.5 CM for TRG in .338 LM?

[AB Shooter]

I have a Sako TRG 22 in 6.5CM. I love this rifle and has never failed me. So rediculously accurate and addicting to shoot! But of course I have always wanted the Sako TRG 42 in .338LM. Would I be a fool to hack such a good, fun rifle for a larger calibler such as the .338LM? I know I am giving up light recoil and affordable reloading costs. I am after the .338LM for ELR abilities in the long haul. But if I could only have one rifle, would the .338 be the better over the 6.5CM? Or is it too much of a monster to where I will be sorry I got rid of my 6.5? Never had a large caliber such as the .338 as my go-to gun.

I kept my Tikka Tac A1 6.5 cm. Keeping it.
Then bought a multi-cal Cadex Kraken 300 Norma. Along with a 6.5 cm and 308 barrel. Best of both worlds. Am able to concentrate on 6.5 cm, and am able to shoot 300 Norma when I wish to reach out

Why spend all that money on a new weapon, only to have the Police State Government confiscate it from you? Sell the one you've got while you still can.

I have a TRG-42 in 338 Lapua that I shot quite a bit when I lived in the Rocky Mountain states. It is easily my most accurate factory rifle. A Terminator TE muzzle brake is very efficient.

1,000 yards is ridiculously easy with the 338 TRG launching 250-, 285-, and 300-grain bullets.

You don’t see many TRG’s come up for sale used for a reason.

FIFY

You don’t see many inexpensive/low cost/Affordable TRG’s come up for sale used for a reason.

You used to see cheap TRG's all the time. $2K or so for a 22 and like 23-3400 for a TRG42 in 300wm or 338. These were the pre-trigger update guns and before prices got insane.

One of the first products that KRG came out with, was a aftermarket folder for the TRG since they were like a $2500 option.

The reason you don't see many is because they sell so few.

I blame Beretta.
TRG's got hard to find ever since they took over marketing. Hell, try to find a OEM 338LM barrel for a TRG 42.
yes, you used to see affordable TRG 22's and 42's all the time on GB. Now, they all start at 3k USED.. WTH.. anyways.. it is what it is.
*I love the KRG folder, it's lighter than the TRG folder. The TRG folder can double as a club if you run out of ammo.

Inflation has hit gun world too, Alot of things that used to be good deals arent. Used to see AI AE Mk2 and 3's for like $1800-2K too.
