Sako TRG 22

[rmbailey]

Hello,

I am new to the forum and I am looking for advice or recommendations. I have just started to get involved with shooting and I am a novice. I have a 2012 Sako TRG 22 and I am trying to mount a Sako factory picatinny rail. It is the low profile Sako TRG rail, 0 MOA. There were no instructions concerning torque values, guide pins and screw placement. Could someone please help me with this?

Put the rail where all the screw holes and pin holes line up. There is only one spot that this happens. The rail will not mount all the way back and flush on the receiver. It will sit forward a bit. Put a dab of blue loctite on all the screws and screw them in until they lightly start to snug. Next go back and torque to 20 in/lbs

If you don’t have a torque wrench, tighten the screws as tight as you can holding onto the short side of a L shape torx wrench (allen wrench). Go back over them holding onto the long side of the wrench just until you feel the screws move just a bit more and you would be good to go.

You can also rub a thin coat of blue loctite on the complete bottom side of the pic rail before mounting. This will help keep moisture from making its way between the rail and the receiver. Use a paper towel or qtip to remove any excess that pushes out after you have it all mounted up.

Thank you very much Wade. I will go back and look at the screw hole alignment tonight and mount it slightly forward.

Did you figure it out?

Hello Wade. It went on without a problem. Thank you again for your help. I used a torque wrench and the blue loctite as you recommended. I greatly appreciate your advice and everything lined up as you described. Have a good rest of the week.
