TRG appreciation thread - Part III

[CerebralDistortion]

Grab a few different reloading manuals and get ready to blow your mind. Then look at the jug of varget that lists their own max load, just like the rest of the line of powders, which are usually much higher then the books.

But you do you, I guess . . .

Edit to add data. An example of Vhit. Load data with lapua brass.

Load data with Lapua brass:

Taken from vihtavuori.com a minute ago.
168 gr SMK.

I really don't care. Just exercise caution.
For you.

That's just it.

Find a load and work it up in your rifle. Lots of examples of different 168-175gr bullets that are right in his load zone.

Realize that there are some variables in play before sounding off like you did. You just make yourself look like a judgmental c word.

Okay, so EuroOptic is selling the 22A1 in .260 Remington right now for $4,400. Since I paid $4,500 for my AT-X (and then another $600 or so for the folder, bridge, and bag rider), I figured why not give it a try?

Took possession of mine yesterday, and have a question for the dudes who have been on or around an A1 for a little while: How do you tighten up the free movement on the cheekpiece? I can get some of the play out of the LOP by tightening the torx screws (and thereby negating the quick-adjust feature), but the cheekpiece and LOP have that kind of 'Colt 1911' rattle to them. I can't see that being conducive to pulling every last drop of consistency out of the platform.

*This is not within the folding mechanism. I actually prefer the TRG's to the AI (that I had to buy separately).

** I also haven't put my trigger on the scale yet, but it is substantially lighter feeling than what I was expecting after reading the reviews. No need to adjust anything to fit my hand perfectly, and so far I'm a fan of that on the TRG too.

Thanks,

I already went through the manual as soon as I got home yesterday. My LOP came with the screw all the way tightened, and it wasn't extending for me. So I took the 30 minutes to make myself familiar and sort things out. This rattle in both is more or less created from the rods having play within the raceways.

I may be a dude, but I'm also the dude who reads the instructions before setting himself up for failure in the forums .

Haha got ya. I have the rattle in mine but I never messed with the screw to see if it would lock it down. I don't believe there is enough play in it to cause you to be any less accurate though. Not sure if you've shot it yet or not but see how itgoes.

Actually, your answer here is exactly what I was wanting to know . If you have a touch of rattle, then I guess this is to be expected. I otherwise like everything about the rifle so far.

It'll be a hot minute before I get mine out to shoot. I blew my 2025 fun-wad on 1911 stuff before I impulse bought this thing. I also got rid of all of my .260 Rem reloading equipment about 8 years ago. So the journey begins again...
