Brand New TRG 42 338LM. Still waiting for the bipod, longer backbone with ITRS and a 5-25x56 PMII with MSR2 reticle.
 
New Snipers Hide forum enthusiast and TRG owner. Absolutely in love with this rifle, haven't had this much excitement in a long while.

Questions- I've searched high and low and seen conflicting information. Am I crazy in thinking there's no way the Tikka CTR mags *don't* fit the A1? Even if I had to trim some plastic from the base plate? Or have they gone and made them just different enough to not fit?

Beyond that, I guess this is also a WTB for .308 TRG 22A1 mags. Eager to learn more!

Tikka first CTR versions originally came factory with Sako TRG-22 mags. The business end is the same.

First attempt at load development on my 22 A1 between rain storms today. My rifle showed a decent liking to the factory Hornady 130gr ELD-M (.260 Rem), so I just copied the seating depth and ran a mid range charge of N160.

Barrel has 65 rounds on it now, so we're just getting started. I've also got a ton of .264 projos around from my 6.5CM and 6.5x47L builds.

Managed to chunk a shot on my very first group too. It happens and it counts, but where the cross hairs were when the shot broke should put that low right one in with the others.

Also had some guests come and watch me shoot the entire 25 rounds. They were directly behind my berm at about 280 yards.

If i keep it i may cerakote it. I think I've figured out some things and I'm blaming my bipods. Going to switch back to a harris. Seemes to have improved my shooting in my other rifles. If not I'll likely sell it and possibly pick up a older trg22.
The old ones are gold. You just have to live with less easy adjustability, thats the only downside. There is the folder though...

Cerebral, thanks for the link, I've perused that thread a fair bit. I actually have messaged you, I wanted to talk to you a bit about 3D printing for the Sako. You have an existing design I wanted to see about modifying.

Appreciate the input!
