SAKO TRG-22 In .308 Win Out To 500m 

The best 308 i ever owned , shooting at the 600yd range was fun, 1 moa groups all day long, now have the trg42 in 338 and its even more fun,, thanks for sharing video 👍

Awsome rifle! The fixed stock TRG 22 is one of, if not, the very best “do it all” factory built rifles out there. Target, hunting, and tactical. Little known fact that TRG 22’s are very good off the shelf rifles for the ISSF 300m Standard rifle event. They come with a hand-stop rail in the forend and Sako makes 11mm dovetail sight bases so you can mount standard front and rear target diopter sights on them. The stock is shaped to conform to the standard rifle rule requirements. They are more than accurate enough to compete at the highest levels and have very good triggers.

Good etiquette, asking before taking a dry shot👍

Can’t go wrong with SAKO. I have two and would love to get more.

First…. And I hate you. I’ve been on and off looking for one

I had the privilege of shooting one of these rifles courtesy of a good friend. It is incredibly accurate and consistent. A joy to shoot…

SAKO make some very pretty rifles. That action looks quite satisfyingly "positive".

Nice shooting and practical demonstration of knowing the gun and optics...always enjoy your presentations and the shooters you work with!

You should have film the walking to the targets. Nice mud and rocks last 200 meter.

A very good rifle, a capable round at a moderate distance, and experienced shooter... Yeah, that was easy!

That is a lovely rifle.

I knew I recognised my local range from the thumbnail! It's much more beautiful right now with all the snow :)

It is a lovely rifle, great to see it shot here

Got the same Delta Stryker. Love it.

Appreciate the video nice rifle. Enjoyed seeing your shooting progression.

The Icelandic Swat team Viking uses this and a very similar Blaser with huge suppressors on them, does wonders for the recoil. Wind is their biggest challenge, for which reason they want to upgrade to .338.

3:37 "yes please" what anyone would say

What a beautiful machine! My congratulations to you and best regards!

Heinola 500mtr range, thats my club, certainly keeps you fit patching up, or resetting steel 😂

Thank you for this. I have a Sako and I was hoping you would shoot one.

Excellent informative video as usual As non real steel shooter airgun 22 nice shooting rifle got the Harris bypod on my airgun Keep up the great content bestest from Scotland

Worked out his dope - outstanding

They have made or they are making a 1000mtr civilian range at Hollolla, at least that's the plan.

Love this range but normally we shoot rams at 500m standing ;o)

I got the tikka upr, but I've been thinking about one of these for a long time.

I aqcuired the TRG 22 in 6.5CM a couple years ago and it's the SWEETEST shooter!!! Not finicky at all with playing with SD on reloads. Loves to be cleaned though. Only hard downfall is not being able to buy another barrel from SAKO with this one burns out. But it's my go-to rifle for everything.

I've owned a few Sako sporting rifles in the past. The accuracy of their hammer forged barrels is unsurpassed, as well as the trigger groups and stiffness of the actions. Hard to match or imitate.

I have both 22 and 42 the 42 is a 300 WM. With the brake attached its similar to shooting 243w and i have vermin shot out to 1000 metres with very good success.

Well well,aint this a coincidence or what... Just came from a range that I was shooting in for the first time today. Had a blast and came to RU-vid for some shooting videos. This pops up, the exact same range, perhaps even the exact same spot I shot from today...😅

Awesome!

Great shooting, and excellent rifle. I picked up the younger (and cheaper) cousin, a Tikka T3 Tac .. still a lovely shooter even with factory 180gr fmj.

The Swiss military also use the TRG_42, but with 12" twist and therefore 250 gn bullets. I would not say the TRG_42 is pleasant to shoot 🙂

That’s the same 308 rifle I have with a night force scope. I rarely get a chance to shoot it.

would it be better if it was chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor?

Sehr schönes Gewehr.

Nice gun, I love it :-)

Very nice.

I have used & owned Sako TRGs , TRG-21 & TRG-41 w/42 brake & TRG-22 , in 308 & 338LM , and had the mag jam on the 308 version , not often , but still had the odd jam , thats the 308 mag that is double stack , single feed like a old sten gun mag , however with the 338LM seems smoother and more reliable than the 308 version. Nice triggers and both accurate rifles , at 1/2 the price of a AI they where a bargin back in the old days , these days not so much. BUT comparing the Sako TRGs and proper AI rifles , ( ie all except the AE models ) , the Sako appears more suited high end civie/LE , and the AI a all out Mil rifle , just another league , just look at who the endusers have been over the yrs , even Russia ? , even the Germans had to adopt IT as it won the trials , BUT Germany wanted to buy Mauser and keep in country , Opps . I love Sako's and have used them much longer than I have used AIs , so it pains me to say AI are better in everyway except weight the TRG series are quite light weight for what the are. The AI action is also unique in its design , uses a locking ring/insert that sandwiches between the bolt and barrel , and the action/receiver is just a block of steel with a hole thru it , nothing to wear out on a HOLE , nothing , the ring insert & the bolt head are replacable ( these are the wear items ) , as is the barrel ( another wear item ) , which means the rifle can always be brought back to be in spec and operational . I will say the Sako barrels will last longer due to being cold hammer forged , this usually results in a harder wearing barrel .

What a sweet rifle! If you don't mind me asking, what range is that? I'm always on the lookout for ranges to shoot past 300m

Currently only have steel out to 400m at my range but no problem with my Savage 110 hunting rifle (circa mid 90s from Walmart) with a 3-9 Nikon chambered in 270 Winchester. That Sako is rather nice though. I was just eyeing one up yesterday in fact. Only had it in .308 and I think 6.5 creedmoor? Can't remember. 300 PRC would be a fun chambering for that rifle.

It's been impossible to find any remotely target oriented or "tactical" type Tikka rifles in the US for almost 2 years now. I wish I had Sako money to even bother looking for one of those.

Taking over for 9 Holes Review?

Cool

Is that some Varusteleka prototype anorak that you are wearing? Three pockets side by side at the front , middle one a bit larger then the ones on the side, is an arrangement that I have seen only in old photos (Gebirgsjäger Anorak M42), but that anorak has canada-buttons, velcro, and other stuff that tells that it is not a re-enacment repro but a new model (yeah, I'm a geardo with a predisposition for picking ideas for my own designs from the past; "tacticool steampunk" :D )

Hey Mike, what's the jacket you're wearing?

Hint for a more engaging video: Get a 2nd camera. Tripod it and get it set to cover the target. Picture-in-picture the hit or cut to the target for every shot.

Has the Chap ever paper Patched 30 caliber bullets to replicate the GP90 cartridge? If so I would love to see a video on it as I'm looking to duplicate GP90 for an 1889 Swiss. Thanks for all the great videos!

Which bipod are u using? Mikä bipodi sulla tossa on?

Sarma merino beanie? 😉

wasn't this gun in blood money (the new orleans mission) or was that an earlier model

Question! What's the difference between sharp shooter and a sniper???? (TACTICS) An thg body can be a sharp shooter, But a sniper? There's alot of since and tactics behind it not just bulling a trigger.

No hearing protection on the range in Finland, awesome! My kind of country....

I feel so sorry for Matti. All the "experts" will tell you that .308 is a non-lethal round that is completely inaccurate beyond 300 yards.

WTF what are you doing? Oh my Fing God! NO NO Nop... sako trg22 308 win is the most delicate instruments you can ever play. 1-adjust your triggers screw to the most sensitive as a touch. 2- I'm a left handed so i get my left hand to the grip then with my right hand thumb i get it to my left hand wrist feeling my heart rythm pulse. 3- adjust the heartbeat rhythm with your breath. 4- between all that you cross in that needle eye of accuracy. When you in that out of the world of world ... guess what? You can get your 5 rounds from your magazine in a 10 cents diameter from you 500 meter or you half km distance. Trust me and read it loudly so yo remember what I'm teaching you listen when your shooting to the echo of your voice what i told you. 5- if you did what i told you? You can do 1km the same no problem. Your welcom fo a free listen. By the way mg sako trg 22 308 win Name? Honey Badger 😉

Remove the muzzle brake and you'd have a nice F-TR rifle.

We need to see impact though....

I wish they would make this rifle in 300 prc. It keeps up with 338 lapua in all aspects in any factory 338 magazine fed rifle including the trg. Because 338 was designed originally for 250 grain bullets the magazines are never long enough for 300 gainers. And with 250 gainers both the 215 grain and 230 burgers in the prc out perform the 338 lapua using 250 grain burgers. Not by much but they do and literally half the recoil. If the 300 win mag version allows to load long 230 gainers and still use the magazine then never mind but I don't believe it's possible
