Sako TRG22 action to frame fit

[Pingo]

Hi!
Got a TRG22, where the action is riding on top of the recoil lug resulting of a 0,2mm gap between the action and frame at the front end of the action.
What are your thoughts on that?

Your going to need pictures for this one!

Based on your vague description is what's going on similar to this? Does your recoil lug have a similar flat shelf as shown in the thread below?

Put some synthetic grease in the action screws and torque it down.

I just put mine back together after getting a new barrel. If I understand your description, something is out of place, the action should fit fully into the frame with the lug in the slot. Are you sure that the blocks that the frame screws thread into are in the right place?

Yes kind of the same, the recoil lug on the TRG is press fit into the frame, but as you can see the action makes contact on the recoil lug leaving a worn area where the action and recoil lug touch each other.

it fits, but the recoil lug is ~0,2mm to high, resulting in wear marks on the bottom of the action in the recoil lug slot.

If it’s a new rifle, I would contact Beretta and/or the seller. What you describe doesn’t sound right, the whole point of the chasis is for the action to fit snugly. But that picture isn’t what I remember mine looking like; mine is ~10 years old, so there may have been some changes. Or maybe I just am not remembering it right.

yes it seems odd, and contradicts the reason for bedding.

That is strange indeed.
My TRG is older, but everything is flush.
