My reaction when I first saw them was, “Yeah, you finally got with the 21st century.” The earlier ones (I had two) were excellent guns, but were sorely lacking in the features that any self-respecting precision rifle had. Europeans in general can be very conservative about such things: “That’s the way we make them, and if you don’t recognize that they’re the best the way they are, you’re just stupid and don’t deserve to own one of our guns.”

I'm a (or really was) TRG addict. I own lots of them in all the calibers. They have served me well and are great examples of the last generation of guns made by real people. At the time some of their features were hard to duplicate in other brands like the integrated accessories (bipod, folding stock, sling mounts, etc.). but time has passed and SAKO has lost the battle to others and perhaps more importantly to standards that make the integrated system that Sako previously offered not really relevant.

PRS rifles have evolved a bit during the last 25+ years. This rifle does have a few nice features. If I was in the market for a modern rifle, this does look good. But I do have to ask what does it do that my pre-Freedom Group Rem700VS in .308 can. And it typically comes down to the stock/chassis.

It seems like a nice rifle. And I bet its well built and thought out as are all SAKO products as well as pricey. But at this point don't we need interchangeable calibers like AI or Barrett. or something that's a bit useful above the zillion other options?

Looks pretty good. I've never owned or fired a Sako, but I sat on the fence with them years ago. Went GAP instead. Wouldn't mind having one that's for sure.

The new ones are aggressive looking for sure. If they are as precise as my early gen TRG, then they are a sweet package.
This is my old TRG21
