New TRG Has Arrived!

If after you do all of your load development and fire form your brass and you still aren't achieving 1/4" or less at 100yds, don't be disapointed. Though it is nice and it is expensive, it's still a production gun and some guns are different then others

When you are talking 1/4" or less and still aren't acheiving it, although our egos may take a hit, I would say it is the shooter and not the rifle. A guaranteed so to speak 1/2" rifle inch does not mean he shooter will shoot 1/2" groups all the time because the rifle is "guaranteed" to shoot a 1/2" group.
 
umm how is the Cheek rest adjustable? it needs a spacer to lift it. Yes it's adjustable for angle and side to side, but that's it. I have yet to meet someone with one that doesn't use the spacer in the cheekpiece. I've got one, 757fixer has one on order (green is harder to get).

don't forget mine is for sale too eh?
 
This rifle should shoot under 1/2" at a hundred and if you find that it doesn't there is something either wrong with the shooter, the loads or the rifle. If you have confidently eliminated the shooter and the loads as possible problems and it still won't shoot there is something wrong with the rifle.

You will not likley run into any problems with this rifle as they are all shooters from my experience and after a couple of times to the range once you have found a load you will not likely ever shoot that rifle at 100 yards again. Its a waste of time, money and besides how many "one ragged hole" groups can you look at before they all start to look the same?:D :D :D
 
Here are some pics taken after my first trip to the range. This won't reveal much, except that Leupold's bore sighter really does get you on the paper. These 3 targets represent the first 15 shots taken with the rifle while rough zeroing at 100m and cleaning between each round to remove copper. I was using factory 250g Lapua ammo which gave MV of 2850 +-fps. Groups aren't impressive at this point but it is safe to say the shooter is the weak link in the chain. I'm far from being an accomplished shooter. Each target shows a 5 shot group.

Being new, the TRG operated beautifully and recoil with the Near brake was a pleasant surprise indeed. After 15 rds, I'm still getting substantial sign of copper fouling, however, and I'm wondering if this is normal. I'm still removing CU after every shot.

Buy the Near . Near is on the left. Near doesn't vent as much downward ( more the the bottom removed on the SAKO )

Notice NEAR is not symmetrical. Helps pull the stock away slightly away from my cheek.

Also notice Sako break vents straight out to sides. The near actually vents slightly behind. Notice slots follow slight radius . Hard to tell if there is a big difference in recoil however .

Can't tell which is louder because they are both insanely loud. You will not make friends at the range with either one of these

Sounds like you've got the material to make yourself one ;) .

As to the brake, I've only got the Near. Recoil is slightly up and back, with no appreciable sideways movement. Felt recoil is far less than I had anticipated. This thing is a dream to shoot.

To the guys on this forum that recommended the .338 LM cal. (vs 300WM) and Near brake to me, thanx! It was the right choice.

Sadly, I gotta go to work now and pay for it all. No more shooting for a couple of months or so.
Damn!:(
 
as i can read on a other good forum about this...
.
Barrel Life Info: The Finnish Military estimates TRG 42 Maximum barrel life with 250 Lock Base running at 2900 - 3000 fps depending on Temperature is 8000 rounds before a barrel change, if the barrel is not abused. This is much better than I would have thought.

Velocity with 250's over 3000 fps will cause shorter barrel life. Fast Hot Powders will shorten barrel life. N170 is recommended, I would guess that RL25 is also about ideal.
 
They must be some barrels if they can shoot 8000 rds before a barrel change! Wow that's much better than I would have thought also.:confused:
This sounds a little high to me.

I highly suspect that it is based on an deminishing accuracy scale I have heard that some of the best barrel makers say 1500 rnds before accuracy begins to degrade

1500 hundred rounds on a barrel seems to be in the barrelmakers best interest as well :D
