Found one of these in 30-06 and just fell in love with the darn thing. It's so ugly its beautiful. Anybody got one, shot one? What do you think of them?

Thanks - Dave
 
Like all Sakos, these are excellent rifles. I have a friend who shoots Highpower Silhouette at the Master level with an out-of-the-box TRG-S in 6.5x55 Swede.
 
proximo,
Thanks for the feedback. Looks like no one else has any experience with them. There's something about this rifle that appeals to me. I think I'm going to put this ugly black thing on layaway.

Dave T: Don't despair that many don't know what a fine rifle you are about to buy. I have a Sako M75 in .308 and thought I was done buying any rifles for awhile. However, like you, I ran in to a TRG-S (in .300 Win. Mag.) and could not pass it up. Buy yours, put a really good scope on it, take it to the range and you will see what the others are missing....

Thanks Art. The scope I'm planning on is the Leupold VX-III 3.5-10. I think it should be a very versitle combination.

Dave T: Excellent choice for your scope. I bought the same one for my M75. Mail ordered it from www.bearbasin.com Paid $397 (matte finish and no charge for shipping). I have the Sako Optilock scope ring mounts on both my M75 and TRG-S. A little pricey but you get what you pay for in my opinion, plus they are easy to install. You can order them directly from Stoeger (the importer for Sako) if you can’t find them at your local gun shop. Don’t know what you are going to be paying for your TRG-S but somewhere around $600 for a new one (give or take) would be about right. I bought mine (used, but in perfect condition) for $1000. That included a Swarovski 3x10x42mm in the Optilock mounts and five boxes of Remington Safari Grade ammo. Just couldn’t pass this one up... Best of luck with yours! Art G.

art,
Around here the new ones are going for somewhere in the neighborhood of $900. Sounds like you got one heck of a bargan!
