TRG in 6.5 Creedmore?

[weazer]

Can a TRG-22 be converted to 6.5 Creedmore? I know that the barrel can be swapped, but is there a bolt face issue? I just love the the ergo's of the TRG's, otherwise I would just get a custom and be done with it.

Thanks,

Should be okay since the bolt face is the same. I haven't done it on a TRG, but I did barrel a DTA in 6.5 Creedmoor and used the .308 bolt for it. It's a tac driver.

Yes it will work fine. I'm the same way really like the TRG ergo so I have rebarreled 22's in calibers Sako does not offer. The 260 they did offer close enough to the CM so my 6.5 factory. A big + on rebarrel with premium barrel is they will generally shoot better than a factory rifle which is saying something .

I have a Benchmark Barrels built TRG in 6.5 Creedmoor. I absolutley love it!!! No problems swapping it whatsoever... The 10 round mags only hold 9 though... but get 2 of em and you'll be set

Ok, thanks. I just thought I remember something about the bolt face being different. Time to find another 22 to have done.

Bolt face is the same. Have the smith mark the barrels and you can have a switch barrel.

It's going to be hard pressed to better the factory TRG22/260 from Eurooptics.......mine is awesome.

Great option there. A .308 for practice and break out and screw on the 6.5 Creedmoor when shooting a match or in need of a flatter shooting round that's better in the wind.
