Sako trg 42 bi pod question
- Thread starter C357mak
- Start date
Many people love the TRG bipod but I did not. I ended up going with a KRG spigot and an Atlas and like it much better. No rattle and more stable for me ... also sits further forward. I will note that I have an older TRG with the older bipod version and have not tries the newer one. I have since sold the TRG bipod.
How much clearance between the spigot and the barrel?Many people love the TRG bipod but I did not. I ended up going with a KRG spigot and an Atlas and like it much better.

I just had a heavy palma installed. When I rock the rifle toward me while prone the factory bipod touches the barrel. Won’t be a concern if I slightly load the bipod but just kind of one of those things....May want to try the spigot mount out.
There’s the option of Sako’s S151F926 Forend Accessory Rail for non-Sako Bipods, it isn’t cheap (what from Sako is) but works great.

Looks like it just mounts in the T slot groove on the bottom. Could really attach any pic rail down there then with some screws and t nuts and it would be cheaper than that!

I didn’t want to take the rifle apart because it was shooting so good so I went with the Sako rail.
5 shots at 100 yards with about a 12 mph wind from 3:00, 1st shot no wind correction 2nd - 5th with wind correction.

There are a couple of options for the TRG from B&T as well.

My TRG-22 came with the little rail section but I swapped it out to the spigot adaptor for my Atlas and I am VERY happy with it. It was easy to install as well as it's just a couple of screws to remove from the forend to install it. You don't have to tear the rifle apart.

KRG’s site says the forend and barreled action have to be removed to install the spigot mount?

It may have to be for theirs, however, the B&T that I linked to only requires the forend to be removed. I just did it last weekend and it was very easy to do the install.
ETA: Huh, the B&T website says you have to remove the barreled action as well but you don't.
Here's what I did:
1) Took the adapter apart and put loctite on all of the screws
2) Took the 2 screws out of the forend so it could slide off of the backbone
3) Slid the sling mount back on the backbone to the rearmost position
4) Slid the spigot adapter onto the backbone from the front
5) Inserted the rear screws into the spigot adapter through the backbone and tightened them
6) Slid the forend back onto the backbone
7) Replaced the 2 screws that I took out of the forend
I went and shot it the other day and I really don't see a reason to remove the barreled action from the backbone.
ETA 2: I found the instructions that came with the B&T adapter.

That is really weird as the paper says nothing about removing the barreled action until the very last step (10) at the end of the sentence.
I still don't see a need to remove the barreled action though.

Thanks, that really helps. I’ll get one ordered as I already have one of their bipods.
Excellent choice!
I actually ordered 2 more for my Bravo chassis's as I like it better than the KRG for my purposes.
I have a trg bipod and it lock tight. I like it but the feet will slide on range bench w smooth surface.
Give this one a try. It works for me for my trg22 and t3 sporter. I can use any of my pictinny bipod.
