KRG, McMillan and TRG-42. And if you go with the McM, buy the PT&G DBM (provided by McM). If none of these fit your bill, don't bother. Way too much trouble.
Edit:
Sorry, missed the Cadex Defence for TRG-42.

I have the EXACT same setup. I used an Atlas BT28 rail kit. It works perfectly.

Brother, you’re a life and wallet saver.
Mines in .308, figure it would hold me over till I can get myself a TRG in .308 to match the wife.
Buy an Ernie The Gunsmith trigger spring for it.
You almost do not need a TRG

Here is mine. Sako M995 TRG-s action with spiral fluted bolt and bolt knob, Near Mfg 20MOA rail, Proof Research barrel 1-7.5” and 26” long, Benchmark brake, McMillan A5 with PTG bottom metal, and I modified the TRG-42 mags to work. Chambered in 6.5saum and throated extra long for the 147 ELD, but I’m currently shooting the 150 SMK which likes the jump. Burnt Bronze Cerakote on all the metal.

I have been wanting to set Mine up for the 6.5X47L but I have heard that some have had some feeding and ejection issues with the short case. I am on the fence of which caliber the X47 or the good old 260 which I know will work well. How has your experience been with the X47?
Is the Near Mfg 20MOA rail bolt on or does it have to be drilled/pinned? Don't see it on their site, do you have a part # and price?
Thanks
The action had to be drilled and tapped for it. I don't have the part number, shoot him an email, I have had great customer service with him.
I now own this rifle. It loves 285's SHort action is about one hour from me and made my 6.5 RSAUM. They are top notch gun makers. Matches up to my M995 375HH and Tikka Tac A1 260.
When my TRG-22 was in x47, I had issues with the TRG mags. At the time, I switched to the AI conversion from KRG. The shorter body just didn’t seem to work with the folds in the TRG mags. Guys running Creedmoor or 260 no problem. I tried 3 mags and even worked with Beretta. Now I’m running 6.5 Addiction so I wouldn’t likely have an issue.
thank you

Great pictures guys. I've sent my M995 last week to PVA to get rebarreled to 300 WM. Trying to decide to keep it in factory stock or switch it to something else.
I have the Optilock rings, does enyone know if they sell different moa plastic inserts like Burris?

No they don't, but you can put a shim between the rear base and ring to achieve cant. Works fine (at least in medium calibers) due to the plastic rings doing the aligning.

nice pictures, I feel that due to the outrageous price of the sako folding stock a d a accessories they lost a lot of the market to AI, but the platform is just as solid, I own the TRG42 a d I changed the stock to a CADEX dual strike, it was cheaper than a folding TRG, and I feel that it's a superior stock even over the new M10
Just received my A1 back, painted in desert camouflage.

Nice, who did the paint?
West Texas Ordnance. Also they made a spare barrel.

I hope this isn’t out of line on this thread. Here’s a link to some machined aluminum cheek risers. The seller is my dad. He had a machinist friend make a batch of these.I forgot to post this in the EE for him.

It is an AK derivative - but I'd prefer to call it an RK....
... and some AK
That's what I'd call it too. Just a poor attempt at being humorous.
I wish they'd release their barrel extensions. I want a 300 and 6.5 PRC.
I wish SAKO would just price their m10 a little more normal ?
Any idea if they will have any other caliber options for the 22/42a1 line?
Hi, I did not ask about the A1. I guess Sako will be replacing old 22/42 line on A1 in the future with the current calibers.
Yes, it seems they moved to 6.5 Creedmoor because of its popularity.
Can you clarify this?
I don't think that Sako will replace TRG-22/42 models at all. It's a different rifle for different purpose. Not all people want to have chassis and rails all around.
I mean production of the old chassis will be discontinued in a future. Just my guess.
TRG 21/41 rifles are no longer available, for instance, and were replaced on 22/42. Same thing will happen with 22/42 sometime.

I’d say that the purposes are similar, just a different chassis.
I’ll ask them next time, good question.
Personal choice. I sell good shit all the time.
No you are not! Good rifles both! I would sell the Tikka and buy a folding stock to TRG but I might be the crazy one ?
I've just got my Sako TRG-S/M995barreled action back from PVA with new Paradigm carbon 1/9 twist chambered in 300 WM. Last night I've bedded the action and PTG bottom metal into Manners EH1 stock that started off as a leftie Rem 700. Came out pretty good. Still have to touch up some paint and want to cerakote the bottom metal some sort of gray.
Have some H1000 on the way to try out some 212gr and 225gr
My TRG22 still has the factory .308 barrel.
KRG folder, Nightforce scope and rings, Sako bipod, Stalon Victor L suppressor.
It seems to really prefer Lapua Scenar L 175 grain and/or Sierra Match King 175 grain bullets.
I dont know. Bought the rifle used so I have no way to really tell. It shoots great, so im not worried about it. Im keeping a log on how many rounds I put through it though, and I have just passed 400.
