http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2682207#Post2682207 However it seems odd to me that the post in the For Sale section is for a 338 and on the Sako website all that is offered in the TRG 42 is the 300 win mag and 338 Lapua Magnum. </div></div>
Ya that's who its with but I never saw that post before. Still can't deceide. I have no optics for it, no brass or dies, but the one thing that might tip me over the edge is the free muzzle break from my buddy. Oh the deceisions.</div></div>
It's expensive to feed and if you have no place to exercise it then no, not worth it. On the other hand if you reload it's cheaper then 50BMG and several people are getting 10 or more reloads with lapua brass. The normal price has been sitting at 2600 for this rifle and 2700 in the other colors, 2900 if you need the fancy finish on the metal. The last TRG-42 I saw with 500 rounds through it was at 2200 used.
From what I read it is one of the most accurate sticks out of the box or otherwise and has an amazing trigger. The stock durability is it's weak point.
Glass options -
I'm going to try my SWFA 5-20x50 when it arrives sometime in the distant future. I'm going to utilize the 3 ring SAKO mount which I bought from a hide member. Bipod, yeah that's going to cost and I'm going to sandbag it for now instead.
