No. TRG22's are not worth the money. They are worth more. Contact SRT Supply here on the hide for a good deal.
Good Luck,

Re: Trg-22 ?
Best rifle I have ever owned by a wide margin. And, since they retain their value extremely well, one of the best bargains out there.

Re: Trg-22 ?
By the way, if you decide to pull the trigger on a TRG (no punn intended), talk to Euro Optics. Great company to deal with. They are also the only TRG distributor that has them in .260 Remington.

<span style="color: #006600">Correction, I was sold on TRGs after shooting "Mr. atherange's" rifle, and have even spent the money to get it rebarreled in a different caliber, so I can shoot 7 mm bullets but keep the same platform. </span>I then sold all of my Rem 700 type rifles, because nothing is like the TRG's two stage trigger.

Re: Trg-22 ?
owning a TRG 22 is a double edge swords, great rifle that will make all other factory production seem cheap and crappy.
you have been warned.

TRGs rock. TRGs tuned by GAP rock AND roll.

Re: Trg-22 ?
I absolutely love mine. It is a rifle that is comfortable in any shooting position. I also got mine from Alex at EuroOptic. Best bang for your buck platform out there with regards to durability, accuracy, and features. Period.

what do you mean tuned by gap?
btw, im really liking my trg.
just got some back up parts from brownells. takes forever to get and very expensive, but wanted to have a few extras on hand for emergencies.
heard the firing pins and very hard and are prone to breaking if dry fired...so its prob a good idea to have on in the kit.

you can get them on gb right now for 140 a piece. ai mags are what? about 90 bucks each?
so you buy 4 more mags to have five total and you spent another 200 bucks. the trg mags are very high quality and will prob last a lifetime...so i dont see them as a great expense.

I see mags as consumables but I think that mindset comes from ARs. I don't want to think about tossing a $150 mag down to the ground too rough. $73.49 is about the best price I see on new 10rd SA AI mags so there is a significant difference in price.
Don't get me wrong, I wanted a TRG something fierce and still kind of do.

is the rest of the gun original after that many rounds (firing pin, trigger, extractor, etc?) i was just seeing how everything held up after extensive use. trigger still crisp and feel good after that many rounds?

im looking into those too. it says they are modified mags and you are only allowed to purchase up to two at the time of order. that isnt very many mags to have if you cant buy more.
i dont know what all is involved in modifying them, but for me, thats something i would have to have my smith do and you have to factor that in with the price of the AI mags.
it is also 300 dollars...so that goes a long ways toward the purchase of the sako mags.
it does look like a nice set up. it appears to have a hardened recoil lug. im not sure if it is hardened steel or aluminum.
i think the factory recoil lug is aluminum. im going to look into have mine changed out with a steel unit.

Re: Trg-22 ?
A couple of things from a TRG owner and aficionado.
TRGs shoot extremely well. You have a custom barrel put on by GAP and now they shoot extremely well in any caliber/configuration you want. Plus, you can swap barrels back and forth if need be. (KRG makes a kit for that as well.)
How many mags do you really need? I shoot comps all the time and never find myself needing more than two at a time.
I have 3 TRG-22 mags and 1 TRG-42 mag. Of those 4 mags, None of them were bought brand new. You can find great deals on them here many times.
Most any AICS type of mag will work. I won a KRG conversion kit and I put three different types of AICS mags and they all worked flawlessly.

Re: Trg-22 ?
Do not let mags be the thing to get between you and a TRG. Besides, who knows when someone might come out with factory replacements...

I agree h74 I also understand $ is tight and for some it just grates them to bend over for a grossly over priced mag, it does me. But after the initial pain is gone I forget all about it, well almost. When you consider that you will have 4K MINIMUM in your rig what's another few hundred.
Some pain relief. I just received my 22 in 260 and despite talk mags would be different (longer) they are the same as my 22 in 308.
