The Finns have developed a versatile sniper weapon. M PORT invites you to take a look at a rifle suitable for any battle.
The group of arms companies Beretta Defense Technologies presented its promising development to the interested public. This is the new Sako TRG M10 sniper rifle.
This weapon was created by the Finnish company Sako. It is assumed that new sniper rifles will be replaced by similar M-24, M-40, Mk-13, which are currently in service with the American special forces.
Actually, the development of these small arms has become part of a large-scale program of the US Department of Defense to provide the army and navy with precision weapons.
The basis for the creation of the new rifle was its predecessor - the TRG-22 and TRG-42 rifles. The main advantage of the novelty is its ability to quickly transform under a certain caliber of a cartridge, depending on the conditions of the battle. In addition, unlike earlier models, the TRG M10 is equipped with a special shock-absorbing bipod for convenience and greater shooting accuracy.
According to the manufacturer, the new rifle is designed for cartridges of calibers 7, 62 × 51 mm, 7, 62x67 mm (.300 Winchester Magnum) and 8, 6 × 70 mm (.338 Lapua Magnum). This entailed the need for the sniper to carry three different types of locks.
In accordance with these calibers, magazines with a capacity of 11, 7 and 8 rounds can be installed on the TRG M10 rifle. Moreover, all three types of stores are identical in size to each other.
In addition to replaceable bolts, the developers had to provide the rifle with three interchangeable barrels. They differ from each other not only in diameter, but also in length.
Finnish gunsmiths also thought about the convenience of quickly replacing rifle components in rapidly changing combat conditions. In particular, all replaceable assemblies have their own special marks that are easily recognizable by touch.
