    I do not have time to reload and drive the 4.5 hour round trip to shoot past 200 meters so there is no point in keeping this rifle. I have had it out to 1100 yards a few times and it is a pleasure to shoot, I am sure I will miss it. With the hope that I will have a mountain bike race season in 2021 it is almost time to start my base training for next season, which means even less time. So here is your chance to get a decked out bad ass TRG.

    The rifle is in excellent condition with the only cosmetic is the left grip panel does not line up perfectly with the forearm (see the pic). The bolt face and lugs are perfect, the action has no brass rash on it, very little wear / signs of use anywhere really other than a little on the accessory rail. This thing is in great condition. It is very accurate, I only have a few pictures of groups shot just after a 50 round load development to do a tracking test on the scope (see pictures)

    Details are as follows:
    -Pre 2013 TRG 22 (better trigger than the new ones IMO) Factory Sako Gen II folder
    -PVA / Rock 20” 1-8t barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor threaded 5/8X24 and thread protector *I have put every round through the barrel and the count is exactly 300 **I had originally listed the round count at 600 but after looking at the data book again it is actually 300 rounds, with the brass having been fired 6X that is where the 6 came from (sometimes I have my head up my ass...)** I am still on the first 50 pieces of brass 6X firings on it.
    -Sako Bipod
    -1 magazine
    -Near 25 MOA Rail
    -BT pic rail spigot In case you want to use an Atlas or other bipod
    -KRG TRG Action wrench
    -100 pieces of Lapua 6.5 Creed Small rifle primer brass (50 of which have 6 firings on them, the other 50 are new)
    *I have Redding 6.5 Creedmoor Competition Seater & Type S Bushing FL dies (new with this barrel) if you are interested (let me know and we can work a deal on those)

    **I do not need to sell this but would like to, so I am open to offers. But please no crazy lowball offers.
    SOLD PENDING FUNDS
    $4450 $4150 shipped and insured for all above less the dies, $4300 with the dies

    **I fixed this, it is now aligned properly**
    Slight misalignment of the left grip to the forearm, pretty minor in person.

    Jbell always has nice stuff, and this is pretty much the perfect trg22. I agree, the pre 13 triggers are more adjustable and have a perfect 2nd stage break compared to the newer ones. Glws!

    Buy it while you still can... It’s not looking good for our freedoms right now as I type this. I sure hope that I am able to look back on this post and laugh about it...
     
    I have had a few people ask about the load for this rifle so here is the specifics:
    -Lapua small rifle primer brass shoulder bumped 0.002" and neck sized with a 0.290" bushing (0.0135" wall thickness for this brass)
    -43.4g RL17
    -CCI BR4 primer (Federal GM205 also works well)
    -139g Scenar jumping 0.015" up to 0.030" all with great accuracy

    *I haven't shot it enough to play with more powders or seating depths, just found what worked and stopped...
