Black, 500 round count, 12 twist.

Includes bipod, 2 mags and stock break.

Few cosmetic blemishes but not bad.

2400$ shipped.

How did I do?
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

I'd say you did pretty good...those bipods and muzzle breaks are worth a small fortune. It's hardly broken in at 500 rounds.
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

If you got the Sako bipod, not shabby at all (they run about $400), the brake alone is about $200. You didn't mention what the caliber was but if it was the .338 you likely won't have much success with 300 grain bullets due to the twist rate, newer models are 10". Not to worry though, 250 gr. Scenars shoot extremely well.
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

Yup, sako bipod in 338. Look forward to reaching out!
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

What was the seller's story/excuse?

Not judgmental, just curious.
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

U might want get the barrel scoped and see what kind of condition its in. Seems like a good deal.
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

that is one hell of a deal even if the barrel was 1/2 shot out, which this one isn't.
congrats and a nice score.
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

Oh, this must be where we get the jealousy.....oh ok, found it. You did well bro, the best I could find was 2700.00 for a bare rifle (no pic rail, bipod, brake or box). There is still plenty of life left in that barrel so take her out and have some fun with her....

I receive on Tuesday, I'll put the hawkeye borescope down the tube to see what's up then!
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

It was on gunbroker... Didnt hit the reserve so I just followed up and offered cash. Hope it turns out I receive on Tuesday. Will post pics then!
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

I found mine on Gunbroker as well.. IT was a Green one in 338 with phosphate coated 1in10 barrel. Has the brake,Wide bipod,sling, extra mag, optilock mount, 20MOA pic rail in the package. It had 17rounds of Lapua through it and I got the brass and a new box of Hornady 250gr... The guy was getting married and was needing cash to pay for wedding. He had the gun listed as T R G -42 .. With it listed this way it would not show up through the normal search.. I just happened to stumble upon it while searching 338.

What scope mount do you have one yours? If you are looking for an Optilock 2 ring quick release I have one. It is 30mm Medium rings..

Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

I'm getting the near / alpha setup. Based on everything I've read here on the hide it's the way to go.
 
Re: How's this TRG 42 deal?

Cool.. I put the 30MOA Opti 3 ring setup on mine so I have no use for the quick release mount..

You got a great rifle there..

A big plus 1 for the Near Alpha Mount and The Near Picatinny base!!!
