Have a good guy that's offering me a deal on a Sako TRG-S in 30-378 Wby Mag. They seem to have only offered this model in 30-378Wby and 338Lapua. I'd rather it was in 338-378 but hey, its still a beast! I have shot.300Wby mag for years and have zero probs with the recoil and reload so cost is not so prohibitive.
My questions are:
Are there any weak points (I've read the synth stock likes to crack around the grip?)
Is it aluminum recoil block/bedded in synth stock?
Is the trigger a quality item or will it need work/replacement?
Does the barrel profile have enough meat for threading and brake, or is it light weight?
Is the Sako factory barrel known for top notch machining?
Chamber/throat charecterisics (long like a Wby or pretty tight?)
Ive also heard the bolt is glass smooth like a Tikka T3, true?

Thanks all for input, never had a Sako before and figure i'd ask the group. Anything else you could add is appreciated!

Son in law has one. He loves it.

Thats great to hear! Any specifics on likes/dislikes?

I've heard they shoot "1/2" groups at 300 yards".... The guy could never prove it though. I loved taking his money at a centerfire shoot though...

My .338 Lapua is plenty accurate. Honestly bench time is just not that fun. It's definitely minute of elk. It's killed the 3 bulls it was aimed at. I like mine

Nelson

Hahaha minute of Elk, I like that :-) Someday I'd love to bring an Elk home to meet my grill but at my income level and not knowing any landowners here that dont charge 4 digits to hunt one I dont see that happening for a while, I'll just keep dreaming and watchin Sportsman Channel. BSA, yea like the guys who say they take deer at 200yds with .22lr. Nelson I can see em not being painless with a box of shells at a time, just nature of the beast. I think Im gonna get a small loan to get this rifle before it gets away. And if the barrel ever needs replacing, a .338-378 should be a direct fit! I like the 3 round box mag too. I dont NEED this but dang sure would LIKE to make it the flagship of the collection!
