    First serious bolt gun: AI AT? DTA? Custom Action (Defiance)? Other?

    A few years ago, I was in a similar position which you describe. I ended up with a 26" .308 Sako TRG and a S&B 5-25x P4f. It is an awesome tackdriver to be sure and the entire setup was worth every penny. That said, if I was starting from scratch today, I'd give serious consideration to the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Dilemma...What to put on a GA Precision 260?

    If the 2.5-10x NF has a definite place on another rifle, buying one now isn't necessarily a bad idea. However, your getting into pretty serious money for a stop-gap optic. Vortex Razor (gen 1 and 2) look awesome for the price, you might want to look at those. I personally have a S&B 5-25...

    TRG Rifles picture thread.....??

    Thanks! I was looking for something slightly heavier than the typical Sendero contour without getting too thick to allow me to use the Sako bipod. Do you find your .260 much heavier that the OEM Sako barrel?

    Winter Shooting Sako TRG-22 and Observations on Gear

    Thanks for the outstanding review. A couple of years ago, I decided to upgrade my M700 but I couldn't decide between the AIAE or the TRG-22. I fondled both a EuroOptics for probably an hour. In the end I chose the TRG because it was noticeably lighter and it was nearly $1,000 cheaper...

    Rifle Scopes Quick Spuhr/TRG Mount Question

    I have a 1.38" Spuhr mount on my TRG-22 with S&B 5-25x. It's an outstanding mount. Here are a couple pic's: BTW, what barrel profile are you getting? I'd love to see pic's when it's done.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 6 3-18x40mm, 34mm Tube, w/ TMR Pics and Review..

    Thanks for the great review! That looks like a great scope, especially for a mid-range precision rifle. I had a MK4 with the TMR; it might be my favorite reticle I've used. If you don't mind me asking, what the street price for one of those? If the current market ever calms down, I plan on...

    Re: Special Thanks to the Euro Optics Crew! I get down there a few times each year. Alex, Jason, and the rest of the crew are awesome to deal with. If EO sells what I need, that is where I buy it.

    Sako TRG Muzzle Velocity Question

    Re: Sako TRG Muzzle Velocity Question I have the same rifle with the OEM brake and 26" barrel, but I've never chrono'd Federal 168's. It's probably not helpful, but my 175 SMK handloads with 44.2 grains of Varget set at 2.80" average about 2,690 FPS, 43.8 grains of the same averages 2,666...

    Sako TRG 22

    Re: Sako TRG 22 I had my TRG out this afternoon. They are awesome rifles. Before buying the Sako, I was back and forth between the AI and TRG. Down the road I hope to add an Accuracy International as well. Here's my range report from today...

    Day at my backyard range with Sako TRG and AR15’s,

    I had a nice day today at the range with my Sako TRG-22 and one of my AR15’s. Winds were pretty gusty, but otherwise it was a perfect day for shooting. I’m lucky enough to live on a sizable chunk of land in a very rural part of northern PA. From my bench, I have targets mounted at 50, 100...

    Rifle Scopes Anybody have a S&B 5-25x56 PSR contract scope yet?

    Re: Anybody have a S&B 5-25x56 PSR contract scope yet? Jason at Euro Optics showed me one that they had just received that day the last time I was there. It was really nice. I prefer the regular PMII turrets over the MTC's, but the MTC's on this scope seemed like an improvement over earlier...
