Sako TRG-22/42 sniper rifles were developed by the Finnish firearm manufacturer SAKO. The TRG-22 is designed to fire standard .308 Winchester ammunition, while the TRG-42 is designed to fire more powerful .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition and has a longer barrel and a larger bolt action. The rifles are available with olive drab green stocks, black stocks and the TRG is also available with a folding stock.

Normally muzzle brakes are fitted to reduce recoil, jump and flash. The Sako factory TRG muzzle brakes are however detachable if a user does not wish to use one. Generally TRGs are outfitted with a Zeiss or Schmidt & Bender PM II telescopic sight with fixed power of magnification or with variable magnification. Variable telescopic sights can be used if the operator wants more flexibility to shoot at varying ranges, or when a wide field of view is required.

The TRG-42 has a reputation for being very hard on sighting and mounting components in its .338 Lapua Magnum chambering. Due to its relative light weight it generates fierce recoil that can damage a high end telescopic sight.
