Notes: The
TRG-21 was designed by Sako to be the most accurate rifle available to the
general public. The rifle is
commonly seen in long-range competition, where it has done very well.
The TRG-21 is chambered in 7.62mm NATO; and the TRG-41 is chambered in
.338 Lapua Magnum; barrel length for the 7.62mm version is 26 inches, while for
.338 Lapua it is 27.2 inches. The
barrels are aluminum bedded with an oversized bedding surface.
Stocks are of polyurethane inside a hard synthetic shell, and with an
aluminum skeleton for reinforcement.
The fore-end is of much the same construction, with a solid internal
aluminum bar for reinforcement. The
TRG-21/41 has an adjustable cheekpiece, a buttplate which is adjustable for
height and for length of pull through the use of spacers, and a two-stage
trigger adjustable for pull weight, length of travel, position within the
trigger guard, angle, and lateral position. The safety catch is virtually silent
and located within the trigger guard. Various different sight mounts may be
used, and they attach to the receiver by use of a number of screw holes.
Backup emergency iron sights are also available.
Optional accessories include a night vision device adapter, muzzle
brake/flash hider, and various cases and slings.
A bipod is also an option, but not normally issued with the rifle.
Both the TRG-21 and TRG-41 are designed to be just as easy to fire
whether right- or left-handed.
In the early
2000s, the TRG-21 and TRG-41 were replaced by the improved TRG-22 and TRG-42;
improvements were made to the stock, muzzle brake, and bipod.
The barrel, formerly made by standard barrel manufacturing practices, is
cold-forged on the TRG-22 and TRG-42.
The TRG-42 also added a .300 Winchester Magnum chambering.
A detachable bipod is now a standard feature of these rifles, sold with
them instead of being an option.
The muzzle is threaded, allowing the standard muzzle brake can be replaced with
a more substantial heavy muzzle brake or a suppressor (or silencer, in the case
of 7.62mm versions.) The receiver
is now also cold-forged and is quite strong and rugged.
An integral European 17mm axial rail is mounted above the receiver as a
scope mount; depending upon the scope or optic, the rail may mount an optic
directly or via scope rings. Below
the handguard is proprietary rail that is designed to mount a number of bipods
by several manufacturers. This rail
is set into the bottom of the handguard, and in addition to being a bipod mount,
it strengthens the handguard. The
new trigger is more like an expert competition trigger pack it is adjustable
for pull weight, pull length (down to as little as 6.35mm), let-off, and even
the cant of the trigger.
Developed from
the TRG-42, the TRG M-10 is a further accurized version of that rifle designed
to win the US militarys PSR (Precision Sniper Rifle) contract.
(It did not, however.) It
was first introduced to the international community as the 2011 MillPol
exhibition in France. The M-10 was
developed from the TRG-42, but bears little resemblance to that rifle; in fact,
there are no interchangeable parts between the two.
The TRG-42 was developed from a hunting rifle; the M-10 was designed as a
military-specific rifle. The stock
is a skeletonized folding stock which is adjustable for LOP, cheek height and
angle, and butt angle. This butt
also has a thick and waterproof recoil pad, and a folding monopod.
Atop the receiver is a MIL-STD-1913 rail; this is attached to a sub-rail
which extends the MIL-STD-1913 rail almost to the front iron sight.
On each side are a pair of MIL-STD-1913 rails. The front sight is not
removable, but the rear sight is.
Designed to be modular, the caliber, barrel length, and muzzle device are easily
changed by the user. Barrels for
the 7.62mm version are 16, 20, 23.5, and 26 inches; for the .300 Winchester
Magnum version, they are 20, 23.5, and 27 inches; and on the .338 Lapua Magnum,
23.5 and 27 inches. These barrels
are match-quality stainless steel floating barrels which can be tipped with
compact muzzle brakes or silencers.
The trigger pack is likewise fully adjustable, for pull weight, pull length,
letoff, and even pull cant. The bipod is a Sako design, adjustable for height
and cant. Currently, the M-10 is
available only to military and law-enforcement.
Twilight 2000
Notes: The Finns made the lives of anyone intruding on their territory quite
miserable with these weapons.
Starting in 1998, they were also supplied to the Swedish and the Latvians.
The TRG-22 and TRG-42 are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline;
for that matter, many late-production TRG-21s and TRG-41s were built with wooden
furniture instead of the advanced stocks produced until early 1998.
The M-10 is unavailable in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
Merc 2000 Notes: Though most
sales of the TRG-21 and TRG-22 were indeed to civilians, some were sold to
police and the military. TRG-41 and
TRG-42 were sold almost entirely to military concerns.

Tikka T-3
TAC
Notes: Instead
of the military orientation of the TRG series, the TAC is designed primarily
with police snipers in mind and for tactical sharpshooting.
The action is derived from the TRG series, and is similar in concept,
with three calibers and barrel lengths available.
The stock is also derived from the TRG; it may be said that the TAC is a
police/civilian version of the TRG. The stock has a recoil pad on the butt, and
an adjustable cheekpiece, as well as a stock adjustable for LOP. Grip areas are
deeply textured for a positive grip.
The stock is polymer. Atop the receiver is a MIL-STD-1913 rail, and a
Sako-designed heavy bipod. Adjustable for height and cant (both side to side and
back and forth), with feet that have textured pads on the bottom. Controls are
ambidextrous, and the direction of brass ejection may be changed if necessary.
The 5.56mm and 7.62mm versions can have a barrel length of 20 or 24
inches; the .300 Magnum version is available only with a 24-inch barrel. The
barrels are threaded for a silencer and have a target crown.

SSR-1/SSR-3
Notes: These two
sniper weapons are meant for clandestine work.
They are built around standard actions for a bolt-action rifle, with the
addition of a sight mount that can use both Western or Eastern Bloc scopes and
night-vision equipment. The stock
is of plastic treated to be non-reflective.
The biggest difference between an SSR and a standard sniper rifle is the
suppressed barrel; the barrel is designed for durability, and since is uses gas
baffles instead of bullet wipes, takes a very long time to wear out even when
not using subsonic ammunition. The
SSR-3 is normally when training future SSR-1 gunners, though it does have some
other applications since it is less than half as loud as even an SSR-1 firing
subsonic ammunition.
