Hi,
I'm in the market for another 338LM and am considering either a TRG-42 or a custom built on a Surgeon XL action. I know that more than likely the custom will be more accurate, but I'm wondering what the honest expectations of a TRG are? Ideally I'd like 1/2 MOA at long range. I'm not in the business of claiming a rifle is '1/2 MOA' cause it shot a .499" 3-shot group @ 100 yards this one time in perfect conditions, so those of you with this particular rifle please give let me know what they are honestly capable of.
For the record, if the TRG is in fact capable of 1/2 MOA then I would prefer it. But if it is more like a 'sub-MOA' rifle then I will probably go with the Surgeon. This isn't designed to be a X vs Y thread, I just want to know what the real world performance of the TRG is.
Thanks!
