One of my favorite rifle companies has just released the new Sako TRG 62 A1. The latest in the TRG line of rifles, the Sako TRG 62 A1 brings a new caliber offering along with it, the 9.5×77 aka 375 Cheytac. This cartridge option means the rifle has a bigger boltface and a much larger action compared to the previous .338 lapua offering.
“Sako TRG 62 A1 was created for law enforcement and special operations teams, guaranteeing improved performance and operational efficacy. Potential clients include tactical units with specialized weapons needs for critical operations, and defense forces looking to improve their marksmanship and sniper capabilities. Our dedication to quality and innovation makes this rifle a revolutionary weapon for modern warfare.”
– Juuso Austin, Sako Business Unit Director.
With the recent release of the Barrett MRADELR for long range engagements, the TRG 62 A1 now offers up some tough competition. With the success of the TRG 22 and 42 series around the world, the new 62 will no doubt start appearing with some interesting military units in the near future.
Sako have a reputation for building high quality firearms and from my own experience owning the TRG 22 A1, the build quality ensures excellent accuracy as well as an outstanding fit an finish on the rifle. The new TRG 62 A1’s also use a cold hammer forged barrel, helping the rifle achieve reliable performance. These don’t appear to be available on the civilian market yet but we will update the post when a price becomes available.
The Sako TRG 62 A1 is set to become another benchmark in the weapon industry, following in the footsteps of the SAKO TRG-22 and TRG-42 sniper weapons. Features include the ability to achieve greater impact, with improved effectiveness and precision, using the 9.5×77 caliber. Thanks to a weight of 7 kg and consistency with the TRG product family, it’s lightweight and mobile to use. The same adjustability and controls are maintained. Thus, the feel remains the same if operators are already using any TRG A1 models.
The TRG 62 A1, engineered for precision and power, redefines the limits of long-range shooting. The capabilities of traditional calibers like .308 and .338 Lapua Magnum are surpassed, offering unmatched accuracy and reach, extending beyond 2000 meters. The TRG 62 A1 stands out in its class with a significant enhancement in hit rates up to 1500 meters, and a notable increase in energy efficiency, delivering over 25% more energy.
