Non Sako TRG-42 bipod

[bearman16]

Going to try a tactical match in the very near future. What would be a good after market bipod for the TRG-42? Thanks for the help.

Get a good old Harris bipod with swivel and knotched legs.
The front sling eye on the rifle is pretty big, I glued a strip of 1/8" leather to the contact points of the bipod to allow it to tighten down.

Midway sells a Harris adapter for the TRG (European rail, sling stud?, $10.00).

I suppose it might be possible to use the existing TRG sling attachment, but you would most likely have to screw around with it.

I have Atlas version 8 bipod I got from Kasey at Accushot. He sells an adapter that goes in the rail under the stock, part # BT-28. With that adapter I should be able to use my bipod which has the American Defense QR built in. Waiting on adapter hopefully get it today.

Atlas is the way to go with the adapter. You won't be sorry.

Yes BT28 AFAR Kit from Kasey works well with the Atlas on my TRG42 in .338. Received mine on Monday.

Mine came in the mail today.

To install do you remove the hex head fastener and the small nut. It looks to be pretty close quarters to get to the small nut. Any advice?
