Sako, the Finnish manufacturer of fine sporting rifles and some military guns, began importing the M995 into the US in the early nineties. The gun is actually a variation of the TRG-21 which is a tactical or sniper rifle. The 995 is sometimes referred to as the TRG/S. It is available is two action lengths to accomodate cartridges from .243 to .338 Lapua. I have never owned this model but have two friends who have possessed and shot theirs for years. One is a 7 mm STW which is a wonderful long range round except my friend is not much of a shot and does not practice enough to ever be. The other guy has a .338 Lapua which is exactly what it was developed for, a super duper long range cartridge. This guy can shoot and is extraordinarily accurate out to 1000 yards or more every shot. A gallon water jug at that range is busted every time as is a bull elk. The M995 stock has a reputation in Alaska as being brittle and prone to break. I have never witnessed this situation and don't know who actually manufactured the ergonomic factory stock. In case of the need for a replacement McMillan can supply a superior stock. The only thing I don't like about the M995 is the clip. You should buy an extra as only one is bound to be forgotten or get lost on a hunt of a lifetime. They are about $70.00 from several sources. The short bolt throw is nice if you are used to it for fast repeat shots. This is the rifle in .30-.378 Weatherby that I once saw new laying on my gunsmith's workbench. When I examined the attached work order tag the owner had written "Install best recoil pad and muzzlebrake". I chuckled as apparently he has never shot a big gun before.
Enjoy your 995, it is a great rifle even if most folks have never heard of it.

I have a couple of them. I did break the stock on the 30-378, (fixed with super glue) but the 7.21 Lazzeroni Firebird is still perfect. Both rifles seem to not care load or bullet and make quarter sized patterns @ 300 yards. The 30-378 has taken many deer over 400 yards. 3 head shots, because that is all I could see, and the rest were all heart shots. 4 years ago I had 11 loaded shells for it and I now have 1 left but 9 deer DRT. I got buck fever on a 150 class running at me and shot him first in the rear then a second shot in the chest.

The factory stock does a great job of taming recoil. I added a HiVis Xcoil recoil pad and they are not bad to shoot. My savage 110 in 30-06 and my other one in 7mm RUM are way more painful to shoot, as is my buddies 700 Rem in 300 Weatherby. I love my M995 TRGS's. But if someone has an extra stock, I could use one.
