Nesika Tactical 338 LM vs Sako TRG 42

G'day All,

I'm hoping to get a bit of feedback/info/insights on the Nesika Tactical Rifle in 338LM please.

I'm currently looking at a new 338 and was pretty set on a Sako Trg 42, but while I was at a dealers today they had a new Nesika Tactical in 338.

Nesika is a relatively new brand in Australia with only two of these rifles being brought in so far..... Apparently, but this means no one has one to try out.

So I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into them please, how accurate they are and how they shoot.

The Nesika would also work out about $2300 cheaper than a Sako ($6300 for a Nesika vs $8600 for a Sako) so it's worth considering if they are comparable is quality and capability.

Thanks for you help

Regards

Nesika has a great name, but I might stick with a TRG. More money, but it's a proven weapon. Lots of guys on here talk very favorably of their TRG's. I had a green 338LM TRG I would've kept if I was right handed.
 
Cheers mate.

That's what I was thinking, all the guys that I know that have Sakos, love them. But they are a $8500 crate gun down here without mags, mounts, rail and scope so it's $10k exercise easily :( and there's a 12 month wait list on them ATM, just to add insult to injury.

I just thought if the Nesika was a viable competitor I might consider it and save myself a bit of cash, and be able to get one sooner.

I was hoping to get some first hand experience from some shooters on how they perform.

Cheers

I just have no experience with the Nesika but the Sako TRG 42 is an amazingly accurate and well made rifle. I have absolutely no complaints with it. Not knowing about the Nesika I can not talk about it.
