I was saving for a 6mm Creedmoor but came across a dusty but new TRG 22 old version in 6.5 for 2k. Am i crazy for not adopting it on the spot for that price?
Shoot out the factory then go 6mm?

Why not buy it, order a 6mm shouldered prefit for it and then sell the 6.5 takeoff to offset the cost a bit. Done.
TRGs are awesome, the trigger on them is great. Now all you need to do is get some KRG goodies for it and probably a Spuhr direct mount as well.
This is mine before I swiched the scope over to a Kahles.

Congrats. Crazy it’s been sitting there that long.
Can any of you fellas confirm that the factory scope base is 0 MOA? I'm still waiting on the "instant" background check so I can't look at it. Did I read that right that it's epoxied on?
I'll need to get my extra 6 Mils from the rings/mount. I've read a lot about NEAR bases but I can't seem to figure any reason to abandon the factory base if I can get my extra in the mount anyway. I suppose if anything I could take off the base and use the dovetail to remove extra things to go wrong.
Thank You

Sphur makes Sako solution, with our without cant, I'd definitely check it out
TRG gets lost in the mix nowadays but it is a serious rockstar of a rifle
Factory base is 0. I have Near bases on a 22 and 42. Excellent rifles.
Love my TRGs, got 6 of them... here's the oldest and the newest! I did get a bunch of Sako branded Sphurs, might swap some things around. On the newer ones with PIC rails. I had also gotten the folder back end with 50% off last month. Tan model, which I have in a TRG-22.
Thank you for the confirmation.
Lucky for me it got lost for 5 years in a wall of guns and even after several rounds of discounts still had no takers. A few scuffs but now I don't have to worry about it

Great price, I would have been all over that!

@GBMaryland - Sako TRG thread for you....you TRG lover, you! haha
Can you believe as excited as the GM was to get rid of this rifle he still wouldn't budge on the limit 1 Primers!
One of my TRG-42's came from 'Field and Stream' the Dicks superstore under similar circumstances. Sitting around forever... got a few handling marks on it, went back and forth with the manger got another 10% off their blowout price. Never saw another TRG in that store after that.
About 2 years ago, I walk into my local chain outdoor sport store. They got the TRG-22 sat behind the counter and I ask the staff can I take a look at it. She said , u know that’s a 4 thousand dollars rifle that I can’t let you handle it.
Wow, what great customer service!
Great find, OP. Incredible price on a fantastic rifle. My TRG in 6.5 is, bar none, my favorite rifle I have ever owned. As well as the most accurate. I suggest shooting that factory 6.5 barrel out before you even think about rebarreling it - I bet that it is a laser.
Enjoy and give us a range report.

Thanks and will do. Any factory rounds you can recommend that your rifle likes?

All shot sub-1/2 moa in my rifle.
No Scope mount, just a base. This is a new rifle so only the accessories that come with it.
I’ve got three… 1 x 22 and 2 x 42 TRGs.
Spuhr makes a direct mount for the receiver of the 22/42.
Otherwise, Richard Near out of Canada makes flawless rails for the TRG rifles.

Amazing the deals you can find it at Cabela’s.
Seems like the gun cave always had stuff under priced as well as Wayover priced.
Congrats that TRG will be a hammer.
Scroll to the bottom of the page for the rails... their alpha mount is awesome....
