- This year Sako introduced a new target rifle in .338 Lapua Magnum
- (and .308Win). Sako TRG features stainless barrel, adjustable trigger and
- adjustable fiberglass stock. And options are bipod, factory installed
- scope of your choice, muzzle brake and silencer. The trigger can be
- removed without disassembling the whole gun. The .308Win version has
- a 10rnd and .338LM a 5rnd magazine. Single shot version is also available.
- But the price is quite high 10000FIM (Tikka M65 3500FIM) for the base model.
- I wish I had the money...
