Okay so I decided from the first day I had the TRG in my hands that I wanted to one day have a folder. After tons of research I came across KRG which also makes a chassis system. I will go into detail soon about the ins and outs of the folder which I find most useful or impressive. In the mean time here are some pictures.
A few things to note....
-I find that with most companies who have adjustable cheek risers that utilize thumb screws, just cannot stay in place without loosening. KRG decided to use a single screw type clamp arrangement which is so simple yet a genius idea! No more loose cheek piece while shooting or moving about.
-The factory fixed stock is only about 8-10 oz lighter (I cannot remember exactly).
-The only downside I have found over the factory fixed stock is the fact that when shooting the rifle prone, if you are not careful the lower metal frame will beat the crap out of your hand... A little bit of precaution while shooting can easily prevent this.
-Personally I never used the butt plate angle adjustment on the factory recoil pad so I do not feel as though the KRG folder is at a loss without it.
-The factory stocks (both folding and fixed) may have had a few weak spots that have been found by some with some unfortunate outcomes. The KRG piece appears to be a VERY sturdy piece of hardware that will take plenty of abuse, drops, bumps and falling on it before it may show signs of its use.
-As of yet I have not found a single issue with the folder. I could have opted for other full chassis systems for not much more. But I purchased the SAKO for the ergonomics and KRG has successfully maintained the factory feel with the highest level of detail and durability.
The rifle is a Sako TRG 22 in .308, 20 inch barrel, IOR 3.5-18x50mm, AAC 762SD suppressor, sitting on top of a SLIK tripod and home made cradle.
