This.

The recoil arrangement is the same as on the 85. The problem with that seems to me to be that the owner does not check the action screws often enough...

6.5x55 BJAI 40° with a 7.5:1 24" Use the search option... 😉

So, one million T3s has left the factory. And that is about twenty different models. Would a Mustang be the best car leaving the Ford factory? It could be. If I would argue the same way you do... I said that the best thing leaving the Sako factory is a TRG. You could have argued that a custom...

I posted quite a while back my hope for the S20 to be the updated TRG-S (the sporterised TRG-42). It seemed to be util I handled a S20 comparing it side by side with my own TRG-S. It fell way short. But you are right, they are very similar. Production numbers i.e. price. You are right on every...

That's why he has kept his 42? 😉 I've talked about it with him and if I recall correctly it was not that the TRG was bad in any way, it was that it didn't fit the purpose. Let's see: The T3 action is long as opposed to the TRG short. The 6.5x55 will not fit, nor the 6.5x55AI which he...

No, it has TRG stamped on it...

Yes of course. For me, long range is beyond 600 m (ca 650 yds) and the topic is 30-06 and 270, and both have the capacity to go well beyond that. A rifle that consistently is capable of small enough groups does not care what cartridge it is shooting, so to speak. The 270 shooter might have...

There is no reason why precision should not be there with any cartridge. What one is fighting against is recoil, wind deflection and trajectory which varies with the cartridge and bullet used. At moderate distances (up to 300 m) the proficiency of the shooter and how well he knows his rifle is...

For long range target shooting you want to: Have bullets with high BC. Larger diameter bullets need to be heavier to achieve this. Have bullets that goes as fast, within reason, as possible. Heavier bullets generate more recoil doing so. As little recoil as possible. A heavy rifle mitigates...

If I'm confusing you, or sound confused, it is not my intention. My consideration is this: Ackleyfied cartridges does not specify twist. For example, taking an existing 7x64 and reaming it to AI leaves it with the old twist. Building a new rifle and ordering a barrel with a 1:8 twist opens up...

Late to the party perhaps... I find the AI interesting, where applicable. For instance a 308 Win is not a winner in AI, there simply isn't enough things happening with that cartridge to justify the process. Older, turn of the 18 th century older, cartridges benefit more. The 6.5x55, 7x57 and...

280AI or 280 Rem. Do you need the magnum? If you want it, get it. Nothing and no one here will be able to change your mind. But if you could be persuaded, the 280AI, 280 Rem, 7x64, 270 Win or even 7-08 might be enough. Headspace in the shoulder as with any other cartrige.

I don't dislike modern materials, I dislike the way it's been used in the s20. The stock looks, feels and is cheap. Considering Sakos ability to make the Carbon Wolf, they could have done so much better.

I've got two TRGs so I ain't got nothin' to be jealous about... Of course it's a good rifle, it´s a Sako. But it´s not half of what it´s marketed to be. There are a lot of things they could have done better. Continuous rail for one, quick change barrel for another. A stock that doesn't give you...
