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, and 305 yards. I can also lay in my side field and get out to 348 yards. My neighbor has an awesome 1,400 yard field that is perfect for extended range shooting, but a natural gas well pad is currently under construction there which prevented me from shooting there today.
I just re-configured my AR15’s so I headed out today to get everything properly zero’d. I’m really happy with all three AR’s. The first is a Colt LE6920 with a Trijicon TA31a ACOG, DD Omega, and a Geiselle HS trigger. This is my general purpose carbine and I love the way it’s configured now. It’s very practical for where I live and my style of shooting.
The second AR is an LMT 16” carbine. I’ve only shot it out to 150 yards with the Aimpoint ML3 2 MOA mounted, but I had no problems hitting a 7” x 10” steel silhouette at that distance. I ordered a Troy BUIS last week, but I’m still waiting for it to arrive. I added a DD Omega rail last week. This is my HD carbine. It’s worth mentioning that before I tried Geiselle and the TRG triggers, I thought the LMT trigger was fairly decent; by comparison it now feels heavy, gritty, and vague.
The third AR is a Noveske 16” SS Recon with a NF 2.5-10x MD/mrad and a Geiselle HS DMR trigger. This carbine actually comes very close to my TRG in accuracy; I’ve shot several .5 - .6 MOA five round groups at 100 – 300 yards using 77 gr SMK’s with this setup. It’s a little heavier than my other two AR’s, but it’s very light compared to other precision rifles I’ve owned. I absolutely love shooting it.
I’ve been guilty of shooting my TRG from the bench far too much since buying it last year. I’m making a conscious effort to shoot primarily from field positions moving forward. I did shoot one group at 100 yards from my bench today to confirm my zero, but after that I shot prone from 348 yards. The TRG system, S&B 5-25 PMII, and Sphur mount are pretty pricey, but shooting this thing makes me feel like a world class marksman. 5 round strings of 3” x 3” headshots on the 7” x 10” steel silhouettes were cake. 10 – 12x magnification was my preference at this distance. If you’ve never pulled the trigger on a TRG, it can only be described as incredible. I had a hard time parting with the money to buy this rig, but every time I shoot it, I consider it money well spent.
Group from the bench, 5th shot was pulled slightly:
