[QUOTE="DSPguy, post: 43506, member: 1234"] [b]TRG-S, or where\'s the beef?[/b] This is my first post, so please be gentile [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I ordered a Sako TRG-S in .338 Lapua to try something new, and while I really like the action, it does seem a little narrow to me for such a large diameter cartridge (it's 1.28" side-to-side over the shank). The barrel is 1.15" at the shank and 0.62" at the muzzle---very lightweight. The stock doesn't feel like it weighs anything, however I really like its fit and feel (except the recoil pad, which won't help damp recoil much).
