    Yes but Tikka’s are a basic tool they do the job and still isn’t as nice as a Sako. There’s a special feel that handles so nice in the hand with a Sako, and a lot of great features eg pic rail, twin ejectors, locking double stack mag, safety/ bolt button, top load magazine while in action, close bolt on empty chamber while magazine is in, short bolt lift and they look so good.

    85 Carbon light in 6.5 Creedmoor before I sold the Z8.
    It now wears a Z5 but wish I still had the Z8.

    ... I did not realise the TRG was a switch barrel design. That is very cool, and explains a lot more about the price tag!

    It's an epic little gun. Nope I got the bolt and the barrel fluted when I brought it a couple of years ago. It's like a bloody lazer

    Ok, you win this thread. Those TRG's are bloody nice, but I do contest that Sako forgot to include the trolley for the porters to drag the thing behind you...
