    Hunting & Fishing 180gr ELD M vs 180gr Berger Hybrid / VLD

    This is nearly the same information I have been gathering from people I know and trust. Except they were not able to get them to .5" groups at 100 yards. It also seems no one has tried the 180 ELD-M on game either. I may pop a coyote or two before deer season to see how they perform if I can...

    Switch-barrel Sako TRG: What calibers interest you...?

    My switch barrel was 338, 7mag, and .284 with a bolt purchased from brown ells for the m995. 300WM mags worked, but only because the cases were slightly larger with the rebated design. Not sure the 30-06 would work, but you could always find a loaded round at a friends house and see if the...

    Rifle Scopes Which scopes have a TReMoR 3 Illuminated reticle?

    NF ATACR F1 is a good place to start if looking for illuminated Tremor3

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    Thank you, I was really hoping for more weight loss than that. It should really be no problem though. I have hiked a few miles with this heavy rifle through the woods before.

    7mm Rem Mag Brass Options? Hornady, Nosler, Norma?

    Having a hard time coming up with some brass for a while now. Now that my rifle has been finished for a month I am about to call it quits on Nosler brass and just order something else. Does anyone have experience with Hornady brass? I can get it for half the price of Norma and Nosler brass...

    Were you able to weigh the rear section?

    Chrono Results for .22lr Ammo

    In your experience what would be a good SD for match .22lr? I am seeing an SD of 18.5 over 20 rounds of some cheap Aguila pistol match comp ammo. Onec I can find my notes I will be adding this and hopefully a few other ammunition types after this weekends testing. However, I still need to...

    Chrono Results for .22lr Ammo

    I will have to post up what little info I have, but just looking to see what type of numbers others are getting with what ammunition in their rifles. Not so much the speed, but the consistency, which I know will probably vary quite a lot between lot #s, barrels, and weather. Just would like to...

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    Does anyone know what the rear stock section weighs as a whole? Cheek piece, butt pad, the whole thing? I have a KRG folder and thinking I may ditch it for the factory stock if it shaves enough weight off the rifle.

    And here she is!

    Nice rifle! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Here is a Sako thread also. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-bolt-action-rifles/6260371-sako-trg-trg-s-m995-thread-sticky

    Hunting & Fishing 180gr ELD M vs 180gr Berger Hybrid / VLD

    So there may be some confusion with my original post. I have no questions on the performance of the 180 hybrid, I am using it as a "Standard" to compare other bullets performance against. Namely the 180 ELD-M. Also I have no interest in what twist rate I should use in my rifle because the...

    Need Re-Barrel Decision Help - 6mm or 6.5mm x 47 Lapua

    I trim every other firing anyways. Only takes about 5 minutes for a few hundred cases, unless doing it manually. I could not answer for certain, but can say I have let my 6.5 cases go as long as 4 - 7 firings before running into issues with case length at 1 match. That alone was enough to...

    Switch-barrel Sako TRG: What calibers interest you...?

    Man, no love for the 42 here. I would like to see a few offerings for this. Maybe something like .264 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag, 28 Nosler, 300WM, And possibly a 300 Norma for the bigger bolt faced riles. I just had a 7mm Rem Mag barrel spun up, and would like to get a .264 Win Mag done soon as well.

    Uhh... McRees may want to rethink this one? Maybe?

    The joke is on them because I have a patent on threatening to sue the customer base. I own that threat! Anyone who uses that will force me to also sue their customers? Wait, who does this thing work again? Sucks for McRee, but I thought people quit shooting their chassis YEARS ago.

    Need Re-Barrel Decision Help - 6mm or 6.5mm x 47 Lapua

    I disagree, yes putting a brake on the 6.5 will reduce the recoil quite a lot, but it does the same to the 6mm as well. I have several close friends who have well over 1000 rounds on their 6mm barrels, one of which is shooting 115 DTAC bullets at 3150fps and has over 2000 rounds on his barrel...

    7mm Target / Hunting Rifle, Bullets, and Cutting weight

    I would like to try the 195, but not sure I can push them fast enough to out do the 180s. I will be trying RL 33 to start with so maybe that powder can do it?

    7mm Target / Hunting Rifle, Bullets, and Cutting weight

    So I just received my Sako TRG 42 back from the smith with a new Rock Creek 7 Twist 7mm Remington Magnum barrel. (I will try and get pictures uploaded as soon as I can.) Right now I am looking at a few bullet options that will double for hunting and target work to practice out to about 2000...

    Hunting & Fishing 180gr ELD M vs 180gr Berger Hybrid / VLD

    I am curious to know if anyone has used this specific bullet on game and how it performed vs the 180gr Berger Hybrid or VLD. I have a few friends that tried the 175 ELD X in their rifles, but said they could not get them to shoot in their guns. I know how these guys shoot and how often they...

    Sako TRG / TRG-S M995 Thread **Sticky??**

    Just received my .284 barrel from Rock Creek, now to decide between chambering it 28 Nosler or good old 7mm Remington Magnum. I am leaning toward the second option.
