I have three of them: 7mm STW, .338 Win, and .375 H&H. Generally, they are accurate and dependable. The bedding system looks fragile -- basically a plastic hump in the stock that matches a slot milled out of the receiver ring. However, I have had no deterioration of the bedding system on any of the rifles, and the oldest one which has been fired the most is the real heavy kicker, the .375.

I like the detachable magazines. All three calibers use the same magazine (of which I have two extras), so I always carry at least three magazines for any given rifle when I take one hunting.

The triggers don't seem quite as good as those on my L61R's and other Sakos, but are acceptable.

I understand that some customizers are using a Remington 700-type washer between the barrel and receiver for a recoil lug instead of the original system.

Overall, the TRG-s has been dependable and accurate for me. Being a traditionalist, I still prefer wood to synthetic, however.
