If you look real closely it looks like the rodeo clown with the tennis shoes
looking at the camera has a missing left hand index finger, OUCH.

Does anybody know if the Sako TRG QD Optilock Scope Mount – 1″ Diameter, MED, 35.5mm, Lever Lock, is equal to the stable rings mounts?
Does the optilock move after a so many shots?

RE: Leupold ring scope mounts has anybody had any luck with Leupold rings for the sako trg?

I am just trying to figure out which way should I mount my new Nikon Scope?

Thanks Neal

Actually, the guy on the right is holding a RPK with a high-capacity mag. If you look closely, both guys are wearing sneakers. They might just be more effective for movement in that terrain than rock-hard Soviet-era standard issue boots.

You don’t undestand!!! It’s realy guy’s from that region… ))
Boots & socks with lettering NIKE are falsification from China! ))
But, Sako TRG it’s realy & hand machine-gun of Kalashnikov is REALY so!!!

P.S. The padded seat on a belt around his waist – it’s method of bearing use many snipers & hunters.

I don’t know about a correction of any rifle/parts but a correction of those hiking boots is in order. I’m pretty sure he should get some extra PT for those…..AND THOSE SOCKS!!! He’s bloused his trousers into NIKE RUNNING SOCKS!!!

Hilarious.

Cool!

I associate muzzle brakes with .338 Lapua, but I don’t really have a clue otherwise.

The sniper appears to be wearing a padded seat on a belt around his waist? In the manner of an American turkey hunter.

Think the guy on the left has a contract with Nike shoes?

Looks like rugged territory, too. And a civilian car.
