Default Re: recommendations on a GOOD sniper rifle

If you want a nice rifle look at the Sako TRG's. Check out www.snipershide.com for alot of good forum info. I bought my TRG-22 about a year and a half ago and put a Leupold Vari-x III LR/M3 3.5-10x40 scope on it, Badger Rings, a Near Mfg. base, a factory bipod, factory muzzle brake and a spare 10rnd mag. I have alot of money tied up into it but it's a shooter and it's military grade. The Finns use them along with many other units and agencies. I've used mine for groundhog successfully out to 500yds and make hits on a 5"x5" steel swinger at 560 yds every shot. You'll but some cash down for one but they're still a little cheaper than Accuracy International AWP's.









Here's a typical 100yd five shot group:





I haven't taken her out past 700 yds so I'm looking forward to getting to a 1K range. I'm also hoping to get a can for it soon.
