In the end Sako abandoned this plan and only a handful of M975 prototypes were produced. Sako planned to produce a short action TRG-S M975 designed for a maximum cartridge length of 75 mm (2.95 in), that would have been based on the TRG-21. However, M995 carbines imported to the US featured a 495 mm (19.5 in) barrel and were chambered in. A carbine variant of the TRG-S was also produced that according to Sako literature featured a 520 mm (20.5 in) long barrel. Four different sized detachable box magazines and three different bolt bodies were used to accommodate the dimensionally different rifle cartridges offered. All TRG-S M995 rifles utilized the same stock and receiver designed for a maximum cartridge length of 95 mm (3.74 in). The TRG-S M995 (Magnum) was produced until 2003 and chambered in eight standard chamberings and fourteen magnum chamberings, including. 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge.Ī more hunting oriented variation of the TRG was introduced in 1992 as the TRG-S M995 and TRG-S M995 Magnum, which both use the same scaled up magnum action and bolt (different bolt handle) as the TRG-41 with the exception that the receiver is open at the top with an integral Sako-type wedged dovetail rail rather than possessing a cartridge ejection port on the right side and a parallel 17 mm (0.67 in) integral dovetail rail as found with the TRG-41. Subsequently, a second precision/sniper rifle with a 20 mm (0.79 in) longer scaled up magnum action emerged as the TRG-41 in order to take advantage of the. The evolution of this design continues to the present and can be found in Sako's hunting rifle offerings, the Sako 75 and the Sako 85. The TRG-21 action was designed for a maximum cartridge length of 75 mm (2.95 in).
With the introduction of the TRG bolt-action, Sako moved away from the modified two-lug Mauser bolt-actions, favoured during the past, to an action with a symmetrical three-lug bolt of 19 mm (0.75 in) diameter, displaying a locking surface of 75 mm 2 (0.116 in 2). (Riihimäki, Finland) introduced the TRG-21 precision rifle as a sniper rifle model chambered in. 338 Lapua Magnum used by an Italian soldierĮven though the TRG-21 obtained its origins from the successful Sako TR-6 target rifle and 1984-1986 development work for the hardly produced Valmet Sniper M86 rifle by the former Finnish state firearms company Valmet which merged with Sako, the 4.7 kg (10 lb 6 oz) TRG-21 was designed as a result of a thorough study of sniper requirements. It was designed as a user configurable multi calibre modular system responding to evolving market demands and does not share its receiver and other technical features with the rest of the TRG line. In October 2011, Sako introduced the Sako TRG M10 Sniper Weapon System. Variable telescopic sights can be used if the operator wants more flexibility to shoot at varying ranges, or when a wide field of view is required.
