Hello everyone, while I have viewed countless threads in this forum, I have contributed nothing, but hope you all can help me with a personal dilemma. I am new to the long range game, but it is something I desire to get into.
As it stands, I have a sako TRG sporter (discontinued some years ago) in 30-378. It is in as-new condition, un-fired. My dilemma is, do I sell my existing TRG-S to fund a purchase of a new TRG-42, or do I use the existing TRG-S action as the base of a custom job?
While this is not purely about saving money, at the end of the day, It would be great to spend as little as possible between my two options. I understand the advantages one would receive by having a rifle built by the likes of a shop like ATRS, I am at this point contemplating bang-for-buck.
Main considerations:
#1: How much could I reasonably expect to get if I sold my TRG-S for cash?
If I gave a company like ATRS my existing TRG action, what would the expected cost be to add: 28" stainless barrel + ceracote, mcmillan stock, plus cost of smithing? (This is to compare to the TRG-42 stealth I held with phosphatized finish with no muzzle brake or rail)
These are all the considerations I can think of at this point, any tips are welcome
Thanks, Sakonut
