Anyone have a Sako TRG-S?

I've been looking at these in .338 Lapua Mag. How is the accuracy, fit and finish, and recoil? Easy to find parts for? Reliability? I haven't seen one in person yet, so I have nothing to go by. The Lapua round seems to have incredible ballistics, and I was thinking about using this rifle for some long range shooting. I can't find any comparisons between .338 UM and .338 LM, so if somebody knows of a site, pls let me know. Any and all info about this rifle is more than appreciated!

Edited: I know the .338 LM is EXPENSIVE to load for. Can the cases be made? Or is it a unique design? I've seen that Norma has the brass for about half the cost of Lapua. So that should help.
 
I own a TRG-S .300 Win. Mag. New ones are being made by Sako in 30-378 Wby. Mag. and .338 Lapua Mag. only. However, there are still quite a few listings on gunsamerica for new in box TRG-S rifles in a variety of calibers. I can't comment on the .338 Lapua but my TRG-S in .300 Win. Mag. has less felt recoil than the Remington .300 Win. Mag. I got rid of in order to buy the TRG-S. You should be able to get a TRG-S shipped to your FFL for around $600. I would also recommend Sako Optilock mounts. They run about $100 but are well worth it. Fit, finish and accuracy on my TRG-S is excellent. It has grouped consistently under an inch at 100 yards using Remington and Hornady factory ammo. I did have the trigger adjusted by a gunsmith but apparently it is not a difficult job to do yourself. If you can find a TRG-S at a good price, my recommendation is buy. Also, if you run across a Sako M995 in your search, it is the same gun as the TRG-S. Good shooting! Art G.
