Re: sako trg 42
I believe the only difference you will gain for the extra money is the barrel being phosphated on that model. The matte model will already be phosphated on the action and not the barrel. Unless I am wrong, someone correct me. My TRG 42 blued model, only my barrel was blued, action was phosphated.
You can have it cerakoted to which ever color you want. I would save the cash, then cerakote it.

Scoop up the rifle for a good price and just wipe it down with an oily rag before you put it away.
If you feel like you want some color, add it later.

yep. I would buy the blue model and pimp it later with cerakote or a graphic film dip. I am going to do one or the other after hunting season.

I have a 42 with the phosphate finish. I like it. No worries, tough stuff. I DO live in Oregon, and shoot in shall we say not ideal conditions. After a shoot, I just give it a light wipe. Nice to spray it with some lube and wipe it down also. The surface seems to absorb the lube. Very durable.
