sako TRG

[joycey]

i am looking into purchasing my first real long range rifle. i am heading towards the sako TRG 42 in 300 win mag. i would have got the 338lap but the south australia police have just decided to stop letting the public purchase them. i dont know a whole lot about long rang shooting, but my local gun shop owner said that the 300win mag is not a very accurate round. is this true?
just wondering if you guys could help me out. cheers

Re: sako TRG

The 300WM is an accurate round.

I bet he said that because it is a belted magnum. I have heard a bunch of people try and say the 300WM is not accurate, when I ask them why they say its not they tell me.... It is a belted magnum... So what if it is or not. It is an awesome round.

If you can't own the 338 I would go with the Winmag. But its all personal prefrence.

Tell your local gun shop owner he is in the wrong business. I'm nobody, but if I couldn't own a 338 Lapua, my rifle would be chambered in 300 Win Mag.

I have a 300 Mag TRG. Its a half minute gun with just about any ammo at any range you shoot.

So TRG22 is available in 260 now??
Where?
TRG rifles are great shooters. And the 300 Win Mag is an accurate round.
Go for it!

Re: sako TRG

If the 300WM wasn't accurate then the military wouldn't be switching to them, I will go 300WM if I dont go 338Edge/Lapua.

Re: sako TRG

i will only be buying factory ammo for the first part. is there any ammo leaps an bounds aboove the rest? or will it just depend on what my gun likes?
also how far out will the 300WM be accurate too? compared to the 308?

Re: sako TRG

Lapua makes a great catridge,

if awailable get some, then you have good cases once you start reloading and you will get a baseline for your rifles capacity,

as always shit in=shit out, good quality ammo for good practice.

How accurate and with what bullet? Disregarding that, the 300 Win mag does at 500 meters what the 308 does at about 300 meters, that sort of sums it up and yet is very loose and slightly missleading.

Your gunshop owner doesn't know what he is talking about.
