Sako TRG22

Shouldn't the adjustment knob be on the back side?

So is your bipod backwards on purpose?

It is backwards. It doesn't fit the other way unfortunately. The LRA legs can fold forward as well but I'm prefer folding them back to keep the weight towards the middle of the rifle.
 
Wolverine has then. Just search B&T or Sako on their website and it should pop right up. 65$ if I remember correctly.

Actually, no, I couldn't find it on Wolverine's site. Their web site sucks since they changed it. Do you have the part number for that B&T adapter for the LRA bipod? I think doing a part number search would yield better results.
 
Here is my 42 with Near rail and Near alpha mount.

Near Mfg 25moa base, ADM-Recon-SL, leaves plenty of room for a 56mm objective.
 
I have a spuhr and a near set up. On the trg the spuhr is the winner.

Near is great stuff, but a direct mount just makes sense.

Does the SPUHR mount have recoil *lugs* ?

I had a TRG with a Near picatinny rail and a one piece scope mount, loved that setup.
Near make top quality stuff and its made in Canada.

Oh and there is at least 2 patterns of recoil lugs for the picatinny rail.
Its best to take a picture of the top of action and send it to Near before ordering.

The Sako factory one piece mount is also very well made.

All great options !
 
Yes the Spuhr does have a lug on it. It screws into the bottom of the mount and you can adjust its location.

There is only one but I would think it is highly sufficient consider that most scope bases do not have lugs at all...

Near is high quality stuff, as said, I still have them on my M700. I just think that the Spuhr is better for the TRG.

Especially if it have an adjustable recoil lug.

To be honest, I don't think its very important on a muzzled .308 but its nice to have an absolute trust in your components.

I'm also a big fan of SPUHR, in fact I just pre-ordered a set of SR3000 ( separate rings ).
I never tried those but i'm not even worried they will meet my expectations.

Here is the pic so everyone can see the lugs we discuss here.

There is many details like this on a TRG, it looks like a slightly better and overpriced Tikka but as much as I like Tikka's, its sooo much more !
I often miss my TRG...

I can't speak to the Spuhr stuff, but it sure looks pretty.

Near's bases work perfectly, so purchase with confidence.

With respect to the bipod - I know the OP has already stated he is set on an aftermarket set up, but to all those that own or are looking at the TRG - the factory bipod is truly designed for the gun. It isn't an add-on or an afterthought like so many accessories. It's hinge point is set to that of the centre of barrel.
It's footprint is low and wide, with positive claw feet, parkerized finish and fully adjustable. It swivels out of the way either forward or rearward, and when tucked up, doesn't interfere with the operation of the rifle in positional shooting.
If there is only one accessory for the TRG that needs to be OEM it is the bipod.












 
Wow! That does look sweet! Although I have 3 LRA's and I'd like to use one on this rifle, I might just consider the OEM set-up after seeing your pics! Thanks.
 
I've got three of Richard's mounts now. He does make great stuff. And a really nice guy to boot!

Edit: I meant two, not three.

We shot the TRG in 300 win a fair bit on a Long range class years ago, I really liked the loose fitting , "underslung" center of gravity on the TRG bipod, how easily it could be loaded up and how it then became rock solid. ....it is pricey but it gets the job done nicely!
