Re: Sako TRG 300 win mag
I might throw a wrench in the works with my $.02, but the TRG has the features of several "custom" actions put together, side bolt release, lug area/design, integral dovetail for scope mount, quick do it yourself barrel change, one of if not <span style="font-style: italic">the</span> best triggers available, and I am finding the steel that Sako uses in their barrel to be as remarkable as the Border? barrels AI uses, their stocks are as adjustable as they come, and the flush fitting 7rd TRG mags destroy the AI mags imho.
Your retained value may also be typically greater with the TRG as the 300wm is not currently being imported into the US (supposedly still made, just not imported??)
I think if the TRG fits you very well, go that way, if not- any of the other routes you are looking at can perform to the same level.
You may be pleasantly surprised what pops up for sale as Christmas bills pile up.
