Sako TRG 22

[lani]

Hi has anybody in here ever owned a Sako TRG 22 and what groups did it shoot.
I am considering purchasing one, but I heard from somebody who used to have one, that he was very disapointed with the performance, it shot groups at about 1" in a 100 yard.
I think that maybe something was wrong with that rifle, which he bought from new.

Thanks..

Hi,

I've onwed two, shot about 5-6 others and they all shoot the same; GREAT!!! The two I've had were not picky on ammo. Lapua scenars with N135/N140 always works. Smallest group for me, off of a bipod was 0.11" once, but on average it does 0.3moa at 100m. The shooter is the key factor though, I've seen people doing 1moa+ with this rifle and being upset, not admitting they were the problem and not the rifle.

It's not a custom BR/F rifle, but for an out-of-the-box factory rifle, this is one of the best, IMHO. I've been shooting the 155gr scenar's for the last 6 years, 37.5gr N135 behind it for 100/200 stuff, and 41gr N140 for 500m. I've tested loads of N140 down to 31gr, and grouping is still under 0.4moa at 100m.
