I would love to see an experienced TR or F-class shooter invest the time into a TRG the same as they would their own competitive rifle (load development etc.) and genuinely give it a fair shake on the line. For a factory gun I bet it would hold its own against full custom purpose built rigs.
I have a TRG that shoots under 1/2moa with both FGMM 168's and 175's. I have at least 5 different loads that shoot under 1/2moa with bullet weights from 155-185gr. Berger 155.5's will routinely dip into the high .2's and avarage mid .3's when I'm doing my part. If a load doesn't shoot 1/2moa out of the gate with a little tweaking it probably will.
To me, this is the appeal of the TRG... It is such an accurate rifle with just about anything you care to feed it. I'm sure there are more accurate purpose built guns out there with one or two specific loads but I doubt there are many that are as accomodating as a TRG is with any given load. To say they cant match the accuracy of a custom is ridiculous. Anyone who has actually owned one will atest to that.
If a TRG is cost prohibitive, as Caramel points out the SSG 3000 can be had for about 1/2 the price and probably achieve the same or similar results. Tikka T3's are no slouches either if on a budget.
