Ah nice part of the world Donegal, but yes a bit further than just up the road lol.
Thank you for the offer! Hopefully I'll have decided what bipod to get by the time the adaptor arrives haha.
Yes they do.. it’s been a while since I installed them. I may have had to take the barrel and action out of the stock to fit to the chassis. I think they developed the installation as mine bought 2-3 years apart have a slight difference in the fixings kit / parts. I bought mine back in 2016 and 2019..
Looking at the pictures of adaptor, I assumed it would be a barrel off job to install it. As it has a screw that I don't see how it could be screwed in without the barrel out of the way.
Not that, that's an issue as once it is done it wont be coming out again haha.
In a way of an update, I installed the adaptor yesterday.
It wouldn't sit flush without either cutting part of the adaptor off or cutting the inside of the stock up.
Because I wanted it to be as flush as possible and didnt want to take chunks out of my Sako I had to cut off and grind down part of the adapter.
Happy with how it is sitting. Just need to get a bipod bought now. That will be next months purchase haha.

Reason it wouldn't sit flush on mine was because the adapter was too long and would hit against the inside of the stock.
If I cut back the plastic square on the inside of the stock it would have fitted, but I felt better to cut up the adapter rather than the original stock.

I run a carbon dolphin mount on my trg 42 for targets immensely stable.Hello!
Looking for recommendations on what Bipod to put on my Sako TRG-22. I'm currently just using a bipod that clips onto the sling swivel, I think its a Harris but don't quote me on that.
The rifle is for target shooting so doesn't have to be lightweight or quick release (not that a lightweight bipod would make a difference, the thing weighs a ton compared to my deer rifle haha).
The rifle has a heavy moderator and with the bipod sitting as far back as it does, it feels front heavy when taking a shot.
From looking online it seems there was a Sako bipod that clips into the slot below the barrel which would let the bipod sit further forward. Problem is trying to find a Sako bipod is near impossible!
I found an aftermarket adapter for sale (link below), was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these and if it's smarter to buy an adapter with a bipod over searching for a Sako one?
