Used by several military forces around the world, the Sako TRG-42 is one of the most accurate sniper rifles on the market. Designed specifically for that application, the rifle features a synthetic stock that comes in various colors — black, forest green, and desert tan, and can be had with a folding stock. The standard stock has an adjustable cheek piece. The weapons weighs between 5.5 and 6.5 pounds fully loaded.
The TRG-42 is a long action bolt (the TRG-22 is a short action), with the receive stabilized with three restraining screws. The action is fed by a box magazine of five, seven, or ten rounds. The two stage trigger is adjustable from two to five pounds, as well as adjusting the angle of the trigger itself; the safety is a silent-operation affair inside the trigger guard. The barrel is 20″ and can be had with a muzzle brake to hide the muzzle flash, and is free-floating, with moly-chrome lining. Rifling is 1/12, or 1/10 to stabilize longer, heavier bullets.
It has open sights, but is usually paired with a high-powered scope (range stats are for a scoped version.) All together, the package offers less than a half-minute of angle out to 500 yards, and the effective range is closer to 1200 yards.
