    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    Nice! The clothes iron is a really clever idea. That definitely sounds like the way to do it! The Spuhr mount is the way to go.

    Cracked Sako TRG 22 front end.

    I did a bit of research on SH among other sites prior to posting; which due to what I kept reading was the reason I posted. I was truly surprised at the pain free outcome with Beretta and hopefully you are right that Beretta/Sako have changed for the better. I hope this incident wasn’t just a...

    Cracked Sako TRG 22 front end.

    I like the Vision front end, but unfortunately they stopped making the Gen II and are now making Gen III’s. I spoke to Rick Scrivens from GPC and he said he doesn’t believe they plan on making a Gen III for the TRG’s. This was just prior to them going to Norway a few weeks back and he said that...

    Cracked Sako TRG 22 front end.

    UPDATE: I called Beretta customer service this morning and it was honestly the best and easiest customer service experience I’ve ever had. I explained to the representative what occurred, she asked me for the S/N and immediately shipped a brand new one out to me. I offered to send photos and...

    Cracked Sako TRG 22 front end.

    I purchased a new Sako TRG 22 black in 6.5 Creedmoor a couple months back and I love the the rifle. I purchased a KRG spigot mount for it and to instal it requires removal of the plastic front end (front hand guard?). After removal I placed the front end on top of my desk, my toddler tried...

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    Yeah, I’ve also been considering the Spuhr ST-4701. I have a S&B PMII 3-20x50 that I plan on putting on it. I figure once I spend $180ish on the base and then another $200 on rings, I might as well just buy the Spuhr for $410.

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    I appreciate the input. I’ll email him the order form and give him a call. I’m definitely interested in the Picatinny base; it has great reviews from what I’m reading.

    Not a problem, I figured you had flipped it when I looked on the Near website.

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    That’s what I figured the design was for.

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    Did you replace it with another Picatinny or use the direct dove tail mount? Any idea what aftermarket Picatinny base will sit flush with the front of the action? I’m thinking it might be a better option to go with a Spuhr and forgo the Picatinny all togther.

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    No offense taken what so ever. I appreciate you taking the time to provide input. As mentioned by others above, the Picatinny rail is bonded to the receiver which is why I didn’t want to attempt to remove it before knowing that it would in fact line up. It’s a tedious task from what I’ve read...

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    Awesome Thank you! I didn’t want to start unscrewing it and trying to move it before knowing 100% that it would line up.

    Sako TRG 22 Optic Rail

    I’ve been a member for a while, but never really post. I just recently purchased a Sako TRG 22 in 6.5 Creedmoor and don’t really like how the factory optic rail extends passed the front of the action. Is it possible to move it rearward so it sits flush (there’s room behind it for what I assume...
