.......And if so what are you using for base/mounts/scope for the Sako TRG 42. I mounted a Nikon 6.5x20 on this one for now but should have a Leupold Mark 4 8.5x25 LR and a 20 MOA base for it it by the weekend.

I have one. The scope is a Leupold Mark4 LR/T. The rifle has a picatinny rail with 2 sets of sako scope mounts holding the scope down. Im going to shoot it long range for the first time this weekend.

The rings and picatinny rail came in today, now waiting on the Mark 4. Picked up some Black Hills 250 gr SMK's to start out with until I get some dies and brass.

I have assembled the base/rings and scope on her now, with a little luck I'll get to shootit this next week. I have some work to do on extending my range to 1200 yards.
