That's an awesome offering. I wish they had that option when I purchased mine. If I didn't already have the first one, I would be all about it.

For those of you who have never been behind one...this is your ticket to one of the slickest tactical/sniper (Yes, in this case it is a SNIPER rifle) rifle that you can get your hands on. They are also wickedly accurate and have arguably the best trigger of any production (I'd argue even custom...aside from an Anschutz Trigger) centerfire rifle. If you have wavered between getting one before, now would be the time to do it. They go up in price almost every year.

Dang, if only this were available earlier. Too late for me as I'm waiting for my 6.5CM barrel for my TRG as we speak but had this been around before I bought my rifle(s) I would have jumped at it. Very cool that Sako is going to make their TRG with a factory .260REM barrel. WAY cool!

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

what are the specs going to be , length and twist ... its about time

 

[jb1000br]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

Final specs are not hammered out yet, but I would imagine we are looking at 26" barrel, 8"-9" twist

PM box cleaned out...some what

send your email address and/or phone number and I'll put you on the list to notify with details.

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

FYI - internal length of a 308 TRG mag is about 2.96" so that would let you seat a 140 class bullet out about 0.1" further to allow a bit of extra powder room over a normal Rem SA Magazine (~2.85")

any chance you could have them use an 8 twist barrel?

The 1:9" twist will <span style="font-weight: bold">NOT</span> stabilize the custom 155 grain bullets I use. Even a 1:8.5" twist if not guarenteed. My vote is for 1:8" twist.

I think id be in for one.

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

What would the price point be? I have enough irons in the fire as is but this sounds awesome

 

[jb1000br]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

Price would be on par with the TRG 22 in 308. 8 twist is most likely.

pm's returned.

[jb1000br]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

OK, sticking with 8 twist, how much interest would there be in a 24" barrel instead of 26"?

 

[hunter223]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

24" would be much better imo esp I'd threaded for suppressor

 

[Alpine 338]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

My vote is for a Green Stock, Phosphate Finish.

I don't know enough about the needs of the 6.5 bullets, but have heard from several shooters that a longer barrel is needed. So what length of barrel do you need for this caliber to shoot to 1000-yards and beyond?

24" is good for me, as long as it's not cutting it short - so to speak.

I vote for what ever is the optimum twist rate for the 139/140-gr bullet.

PM sent with contact info.

you dont want sako to thread it, it will be some crazy metric threading that your made in us suppresor won't work on.

I used a 20" barrel to shoot 1080 yards and beyond. It's only for 1200 yards and beyond that a significantly longer barrel is ideal.

Surefire makes a break for the TRG that a Surefire can attaches to. I already bought one of the breaks for one of my TRG's, and a .338 Surefire can is on my wish list. I vote to keep it the same thread as the other TRG's.

 

[jb1000br]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

18x1 is standard thread. I don't know that it would be any better to make is 3/4x28...or 3/4x24...or 5/8x24...someone will be left out either way and 1 isn't much more universal than the other. Will probably keep it std. TRG thread to TRG accessories will fit.

[BgBmBoo]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

Would be interested. 24-26" barrel would be my wish. Threaded with standard TRG thread so the standard accessories could be used. When would we need to provide FFL info and money?

Take care,Stan

don't have those specifics yet, but pm me your emial/phone # and I'll let you know when we do.

Could we have a gunsmith make us an adapter? Or, could we have them just nix the threading and we can do it if we like by whom we like?

 

[ranger1183]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

the best price I've found so far on mags is $175 at EuroOptics.

http://www.eurooptic.com/sako-riflescope-mounts-rings-and-bases.asp

anyone know of a less expensive source?

 

[jb1000br]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

I think standard TRG threading is the best. Yes, a smith can make an adaptor as well.

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

I think most can mfrs will accommodate an 18x1 thread. I know that shark does, as I am awaiting my Jaws for my TRG42.

any other comments?

 

[michaeltx]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

PM sent, but I'm hoping for an 8 twist, fixed stock. 26 inch would be my choice.

 

[jb1000br]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

will definitely be 8 twist, and probably 26" as well, that way if you want a shorter barrel, you can have it cut and threaded, but it is not that easy to add length to the barrel

For those interested, these are still going to happen, just waiting on confirmation of a few things before posting further details.

Did I miss the barrel contour? I would guess it's the same taper as the rest of the short action rifles.

Contour will be the same as the TRG 22 in 308Win.

JB

 

[Lowlight]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

A 24" would be nice, I think I would do one in that... 26" makes it a competition rifle, and really what are you losing at 24"... worst case -40fps ? Best, -20fps.

 

[ChadTRG42]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

JB, I'm highly interested in a TRG 22 in the 260. Please include me in any information on ordering at chad at dallasreloads dot com. I have thought about building a 260 off a TRG 22 platform since I love the gun. A 26" barrel would be great. Thanks!

 

[TEAMSENDIT]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

shit i don't care anything between 22-26" will work. i have held off getting a trg because i am strictly a match shooter and 308 just doesn't do it for me (not that it can't just prefer others). it would be tuff to pass up a trg in 260 though.

I know this is crazy but i would prefer unthreaded barrel, that way we could individually deciede what thread pitch we want. the same would also work with the barrel if you go 26" unthreaded we could all just cut them down to desired length.

 

[Lowlight]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

man you guys and your long barrels, --- if you can't get it done with the velocity from a 24" what makes you think you can get it done with 26"...

it's supposed to be a tactical rifle, 26" was fine in 1992, but today, why bother... most reload anyway so just make up the few fps you would compromise.

Honestly, I wouldn't get it, then send it out to have it worked on, I want it turn key... if i am gonna send it to a smith I would just have the smith build me a rifle.

now that is some funny shit at 6'5" i think i will be fine, the only bummer for me with short barrel is thant i will need the thing rethreaded for 5/8x24 to fit my existing suppressors. if i had to choose i would roll with the 24".

 

[Massoud]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

Regarding barrel threads, the factory 18x1 metric threads can be turned down and cut to 5/8x24. I have done this on my rifle so I could use my AAC can.

[skatz11]

Re: Sako TRG 22 in 260 Remington...Anyone Interested?

The more I think about this, it might be too good to pass up. 22" or 24" would be fine with me. Can't wait to hear more info as this develops!
