Brillo Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Following on from my post about fitting a 30" barrel to my Sako TRG-22, does anyone know for definite what the gross weight would be and if the rifle will still be within the F T/R weight limit? I'm using a Nightforce 12-42X56 scope and Dolphin bipod. I would be a tad annoyed with myself if I got a new barrel only to find I didn't qualify for F T/R.

Then, for every extra inch of barrel, add 4 ounces. All-up weight with scope and bi-pod is 18lb 2oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks Vince. Current weight with scope and bipod is a smidgin under 16lb, so with the extra 4 inches at 16oz I've got 1lb 2oz to play with. I assume the 4oz per inch is for a Palma profile or similar??

Yes - 4 oz per inch is a rough 'rule of thumb'. But, with 18oz to play with - you'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hi Brillo I am 2.5 years late to the party but did you (or any other reader) re-barrel the TRG? how did it go? I have a TRG 22 and am thinking about doing the same - could you recommend a good smith with the right experience and gear Thanks Hobbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Neil McKillop (Dasherman), Paddy Dane (Dane & Co) and Devon Custom Rifles (DCR) all get my vote . Plenty of other very good smiths out there as well - You can't really go wrong with any of the top guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hi Hobbit. I didn't rebarrel the TRG in the end so can't comment on what it would've been like with a longer barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Brillo, Tiff Thanks for the replies Gents - It is certainly not crucial yet as I am still learning about shooting and reloading but I have already caught the tinkering bug (fitted a KRG folding stock last week) so it is only a matter of time! Cheers Hobbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Brillo How do you fix the Dolphin bipod to your TRG?? Is there an adapter that fits the TRG bipod receiver?? I am using an original TRG bipod but wonder what my other options are Thanks Hobbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi Hobbit, My dolphin bipod has an Anshutz rail fitting. With a slight bit of modification to the TRG stock (cutting a bit out of the back of the stock to extend the gap between the molding and the rail) you can slide in a Harris bipod adapter and this is the same size as the dolphin fitting. Personally I loved the TRG bipod. It's not to everyone's liking but it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
