Here are a few pictures a customer asked me to post on his rifle which shows a typical conversion I do.
I thought it was a good idea so eveyone can see wat you can do with the Sako M995 or TRG-S rifle. These rifles are readily available and can be transformed in stages. Opening up the bolt face from a standard belted magnum can be easily done. If you already have a M995 with a good barrel, you can start the transformation almost immediately and in stages to distribute the cost over a couple of years until you finally have the rifle you want. Once the barrel is shot out, you can easily have a precision match grade barrel in almost any caliber installed. The action is very versatile and is of the 3 lug design (.750" dia.) as opposed to the Rem. 700 2 lug design (.700" dia.). As most of you know, the factory rifle uses the same bolt as the TRG 42 338 Lapua / 300 Win Mag. The receiver is similar but is lighter. This particular one started its transformation to a bit more dressed up version.
- TRG-S receiver was drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws (typical on todays custom guns and substantially stronger then the typical factory 6-48 screws)
- USOPTICS 20moa Rail - 6061 Al Machined not extruded
- TPS 30mm 7075 Al. Scope rings.
- Badger Ordance Tactical Bolt knob (nice touch when compared to the plastic TRG 42 knob.)
- Nightforce 5.5-22x56mm Scope
- Holland Clam Style Quick Discharge Brake on original 7mm STW barrel. 3 ports on top - 0 on bottom to avoid dirt upset for prone.
- Steel bottom metal with clip
- McMillan A5 Tactical Stock

Below is a close-up photo showing a Holland Brake installed on the original barrel. Taper to taper.

Here is a photo showing the 7mm STW on the left and the 338 Lapua on the right. As you can see the 7mm STW is a large cartridge and the Sako M995 / TRG-S magazine is one the largest on the market well suited for this long case or the 7mm RUM, 300 RUM, 338 RUM (or Edge) etc.... You can easily move to to a RUM from the std. belted 7mm or 300 Win Mag.
