Anyone own a TRG and can tell me how the accuracy has been with factory ammo? About to pull the trigger on a 6.5 TRG
Sako TRG 6.5 reviews

The TRG is a very well-proven rifle, I'm willing to bet neither the TRG or the ammo will be the limiting factor.
Just buy it, you pussy (just a joke)

The TRG will not disappoint. I absolutely love my TRG. I still think the TRG and AI set the bar for factory precision rifle systems.
Anybody have MV data on a Berger 130 or 140 hybrid? We always hear Tikka barrels are slow, I’m curious if Sako’s are as well.
the tikka and sako actions get the same barrels off the assembly line. The barrels are one in the same.
The potential slow barrel shouldn’t be an issue. My 260 shot great right up until I pulled the barrel around 2500 rounds. It was still shooting 1/2” groups, but I had a feeling it was time to re-barrel due to velocity loss.
I was down 50-100 FPS from my go to load. I had been getting. 2750 with 142 SMKs and 43g H4350. However I didn’t start getting good chrono data until I had about 1200-1500 down the pipe. So I didn’t have a good reference point.
With KRG’s off the shelf barrel and nut setup available the barrel thing is non issue. Shoot out the factory barrel and get a new one. My new 260 barrel from KRG is shooting great.

I’ve heard SAKO and Tikka use the same barrel before, I have a 24” Tikka Tac A1 6.5 now but have thought about getting a TRG 6.5 and was curious if the 26” barrel made a huge difference. My 130’s run 2765fps and my 140’s run 2718fps.
Not Berger but with factory Hornady ELD-M 140s and a Sako TRG 6.5 with a 26” barrel I got the following from three different lots of fifteen rounds each: 2712, 2683 and 2675 measured by my Labradar.
I got my wife a Sako TRG in .308 for Christmas and its more accurate than either of us lol. We both can constantly shoot sub MOA groups with it, using 168 & 175 FGMM.
I'd venture a guess, that a TRG in 6.5CM would be a hammer.
