TRG Rifles picture thread.....??

[Crosswind]

KRG quit making the conversion backbone in 2015'ish maybe 2014. I have one in my TRG-22, I got mine in 2014. Very occasionally you see one come up for sale. Now I run ARC mags with Area 419 extensions. I can load 12-14 rounds of 6.5 Sweedmoor/Addiction. When I got it I used AI or Alpha 10 round mags for 6.5x47. I couldn't get the 6.5x47s to feed reliably from the Sako mags, hence the reason I made the switch.

How many rounds can you get into your custom mag? What spring did you use to have enough strength after you joined them? You must be very adept at welding and put a lot of time into blending.

21 rounds , joined them together with silver solder just don't trust it enough want to tig weld it.

I just had my trg rebarreled with a brux barrel in 6.5x47. I had the barrel and action cerakoted and also got the stock done with duracoat.
I only have a few rounds through it to run it in and things are looking good.

Looks nice does the 6.5 x 47 cycle okay being around a inch sorter cartridge????

I only put a few rounds through it so far and they fed ok. I will test it properly next week .

An inch shorter? Really?
Last time I loaded 6.5x47L the COL was 69.5mm.
I run my .308 win loaded with Scenar L 175 grains with a COL of 71mm. So there is a giant 1.5mm difference.

My bad I thought 6.5 x47 was shorter . When I looked it up I read it wrong .

I bought this in .308 a couple months ago and am enthralled with it - it's swiftly become my favorite rifle.

I'm toying with the idea of putting a monopod on mine, as I like how bipod/monopod handles on a friend's AI - how's the TRG off a monopod rather than a bag?

 

[kimbergoldmatch]

I have a CTK P3 Monopod for my TRG which I don’t care for because it moves around too much and a couple of different Accu-Shot Monopods that I need to try the next time I get to the range.

I started using monopods on all of my bolt action rifles about 8 years ago, they may not be as stable as a bag but I feel that they are more field expedient for my type of shooting. I removed the monopod and muzzle device from the TRG to comply with F class rules for a match and really struggled.

I'm looking at an Accu-Shot - I'd be curious to hear what you think if you test it.

Thanks for the insight... I think I'm likely to go ahead with it.

Sorry it took so long, I forgot to throw them in my bag last time I went but I remembered yesterday.

While I think the Accu-Shot is more stable than the CTK, the rifle will move off target when you rotate the Accu-Shot to adjust elevation so a good bag is still preferred.

Thanks for that - I think you're probably right but the monopod idea is annoyingly enticing haha.

The worst part of the TRG is the shape of the butt stock and I’ve been thinking about making some kind of bag rider for bench use.

Edit to remove the link to the Bag Rider due to communications issues with the company.

Shooting Shed

So I ordered one. I don’t know how long it’ll take to get it though being in the UK.

Oh that looks pretty damned nicely thought out.

I ordered the Carbon Fiber Tube version, it was $138.94 US shipped.

I figured the Black tube wouldn’t stand out as much as a shiny Silver aluminum tube.

I love the paint job.

Bringing back old thread from the dead. Does anyone have a Sako green TRG with FDE or similar cerakote on the barrel and action? Thinking about doing mine including the scope and mount, but I´d like to see some reference photos before I make a decision.

I forget why, but this thread was stopped and this one started

It was not this (the TRG pics) thread that went wrong and didn't accept new postings.

So resurrecting it was neat imo.

you're right, I'm an idiot....

No. We all make mistakes.

I bought a used TRG 22 in 308 about three years ago. Black stock, blued barrel, no bipod. Bought a bipod, SPUHR mount, slapped my Steiner M5Xi on it and rolled with it.

Over these years I tested a bunch of muzzle brakes, suppressors, slings and even a full aluminium chassis.

This chassis is called Pautac. Made in Finland, folding stock over the bolt, monolithic top rail. It was awesome for prone shooting, but the sharp edges around the magwell were uncomfortable, the stock hinge broke twice and aluminum is cold as hell to carry around in winter months. I think they discontinued it too.

Aluminium chassis´looks cool but they are not my jam so I went back to factory stock and eventually got a factory folder for it.

I´m very pleased for the rifle as it is now. I like the quick adjustments on the stock, because I use them when I shoot from different positions. Shoots good with factory Lapua 175gr Scenar L. Haven´t bothered to hand load for it, because I might swap the barrel to 6,5 at some point and the Lapua factory load groups under .5 MOA if I do my part.

I am contemplating rebarreling my TRG-22 in 308 to a 6.5mm (Creedmoor or 260Rem). Which outfit/gunsmith would you vote for to have it done? Turning around time is no issue for me as long as I have good odds in getting back a highly accurate shooter, like the factory 308 has been.

 

[SauerKraut]

I remember when you could buy those new less glass and bipod for right around 2 grand. I really wanted one of those in the late 90s, but I was in another area of firearms at the time.

 

[Baron85]

What are these going for now?

 

[SauerKraut]

North of $4K in a stock and nearly $7K in a chassis.

 

[Baron85]

For a standard trg??? That’s wild, I should sell mine if they are going for that much!

 

[SauerKraut]

I would never sell that rifle. I'm still kicking my ass for not buying one way back when. But, way back when, $2K was a lot of money too.
