Sako TRG M10

 I recently had the opportunity to get a little range time with the Sako TRG M10.  The Sako TRG M10 is a new state of the art, modular bolt action, multi caliber sniper weapon system.  This weapon system is available in .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, and .338 Lapua Magnum.  The caliber conversions come complete with a barrel, bolt, and magazine.  You can get the barrels in various lengths to fit your specific mission.  All of the tools need to do a caliber conversion are contained in the stock and bolt handle so the operator can change the caliber in the field to meet the specific mission requirements.

The weapon system is available in black, military green and coyote brown and comes with a fully adjustable folding stock.  You can get a 0 MOA or a 30 MOA top rail.  All of the rails are available in long and short lengths to meet your mission specific requirements.

Now that I have given you a down and dirty description of the weapon system, I will tell you about my experience behind the gun.  The bolt was very smooth.  It was probably one of the smoothest bolts, if not the smoothest bolt that I have had the opportunity to run.  The platform that I shot was a .338 with a 27 inch barrel.  There was no brake on the end of the barrel but the recoil was manageable.  The rifle was topped off with a Steiner 5-25×56 optic.  The trigger was a nice light crisp break.  The magazine was easy to load and lock into the chassis.  The fit and finish of the weapon system was as expected from Sako.  The only thing I did not like about the weapon system was the location of the safety which is at the front of the trigger guard behind the magazine well.

My overall opinion of this weapon system is favorable.  It is definitely something that I would like to spend some more time with and find out all of its capabilities.  A multi caliber weapon platform is definitely something that is needed in the tactical community.  I am sure you will see other manufacturers follow suit and produce a weapon system that has a multi caliber capability.  For more information on the Sako TRG M10 visit their web site.
