    Need TRG trigger help

    Re: Need TRG trigger help ThrottleJ Did you touch the first stage tension screw at all? The TRG is funny in a way that there needs to be at least a minimum ratio between the first and second stage pull, otherwise the whole trigger effectively becomes a very heavy single stage trigger. Dunno...

    F T/R Competition Weight of factory trg22 26 inch barrel

    Re: Weight of factory trg22 26 inch barrel Thanks for the help guys. I figured the TRG barrel at 4 pounds, but it seems from Hammerhead's post that it is even lighter than I expected. My factory trg-22 currently all-in (with scope, rings and Censhot bipod) weighs in at 6.3kg (13.9 pounds)...

    F T/R Competition Weight of factory trg22 26 inch barrel

    Re: Weight of factory trg22 26 inch barrel Thanks XTR - unfortunately I cannot get my hands on any palma 31 inch barrels at this time (I'm not from the US). But I can get my hands on a 31 inch heavy varmint Krieger Just want to check that I won't have to risk the barrel by meddling with...

    F T/R Competition Weight of factory trg22 26 inch barrel

    Hi I want to upgrade the factory barrel on my trg22 (26 inch version) to a new krieger 30 inch and I am contemplating contours in order to make weight. Does anyone know what the standard 26 inch factory barrel weighs? I would like to fit a 7 pound heavy varmint barrel but not sure if I will...

    Gunsmithing Which profile barrel will fit a standard trg22

    Re: Which profile barrel will fit a standard trg22 Thanks for the help. I measured the TRG barrel diameter just in front of the stock fore-end and it was just over .880 inches. I was hoping that a normal medium palma would fit the bill, and it appears that it will. 31 inch medium palma barrel...

    Gunsmithing Which profile barrel will fit a standard trg22

    Hi everyone Looking to purchase a 30 inch barrel for my trg22 for use in FTR once I have shot the life out of my current 26 inch factory barrel. I have noticed that the trg22 does not have a massive barrel channel. Especially not with that accessory side clip that is bolted to the left side of...

    F T/R Competition Centershot Bipod

    Re: Centershot Bipod Hi everyone I also had the chance to shoot with a censhot today on my trg22 with 185 Bergers. I am used to shooting FTR with the trg bipod and shoot it with a modest degree of forward load on the bipod with good results. With the censhot I tried various grips but the...

    308 with berger 185 BTLR - how long can you go?

    Re: 308 with berger 185 BTLR - how long can you go? Thanks for all the responses. I guess I should have clarified my use of the rifle as part of the question. The rifle is used for FTR predominantly, and some messing around. I asked the question, because on my higher powered F-open guns in...

    308 with berger 185 BTLR - how long can you go?

    Hi I have a standard trg22 with the 26 inch barrel shooting the 185 bergers. The rifle has quite a long freebore and at OAL of 2.94 inches I am still at least 30 thou off the lands. I have been experimenting with seating the 185 out quite a bit, but am concerned about how much of the case...

    F T/R Competition What .30 cal bullet?

    Re: What .30 cal bullet? Agree - good info - it would appear that the ballistic wind bucking advantage of the 185 Berger over the 155.5 Fullbore is not as large in practical competition as the ballistic tables would lead us to believe...... To the guys that have shot the 185 Berger in F-TR...

    6.5's and 7mm's?

    Re: 6.5's and 7mm's? Hi Winny I have shot and owned both 6.5x284 as wel as a straight 284Win and both are really incredible long-range calibers. 6.5x284 dominated the long-range shooting scene for a long time, and the 284 win with 180 Bergers are all the rage now. I ended up choosing the...

    Rifle Scopes My Experience with the Bushnell Fusion ARC 1600

    Re: My Experience with the Bushnell Fusion ARC 1600 Have to agree with the reports of the unit surprising on the upside. I will be taking the unit hunting in the last week of July, and will report back afterwards on usability in long-range hunting situations (ie smallish, non-reflective...

    TRG bipod issue

    Re: TRG bipod issue Hi Ben I have an unmodified TRG bipod on my TRG42 chassis, and had a similar issue (not sure if it is same as yours). The scuff marks are caused by the fact that the natural stop for the side-to-side tilt of the TRG bipod is when the rifle barrel presses against the flat...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Fusion 1600 ARC in stock!

    Re: Bushnell Fusion 1600 ARC in stock! Hi guys Got my Fusion 1600 ARC a few days ago, and have been doing some comparisons between the Bushnell and my Leica 1200 as well as my Nikon Monarch 10x42 binoculars. It is very difficult to rate rangefinders in absolute terms based on how far they...

    Caliber switch for TRG-42 from .338LM to .308Win?

    Re: Caliber switch for TRG-42 from .338LM to .308Win? Hi Bacarrat The TRG42 in 338 Lapua magnum is a very long action with an oversized boltface to accommodate the 338 LM cartridge. You will not find a clean bolt swap that will enable you to fire and extract a 308 diameter cartridge. I...

    Sierra matchkings for hunting?

    Re: Sierra matchkings for hunting? Hi Jimmy Yes, your experience is not uncommon. It would appear that many of the SMK's in the 300 and 284 calibers do really well as hunting rounds. But to the same token, I had someone PM me last night to relay their similar problems to mine using 190SMK's...

    Sierra matchkings for hunting?

    Re: Sierra matchkings for hunting? Hi everyone I realise this is a topic that's been done to death. But I would feel guilty if I did not relay recent experience while hunting springbuck in South Africa with 142 MatchKings in a 6.5/284. My observations a few weeks back, over the course of...
