Actually, that's the Sako TRG-21 in .308 Winchester/7.62x51 NATO, which is in use in FDF as a range marksmanship rifle - for some reason, it doesn't have a name within the FDF naming system. The TRG-42 (in .338 Lapua Magnum/8.6x70) which is the 8.6 TKIV 2000 has a green, heavier stock, improved action (like the TRG-22), a different muzzle brake and so on.

The TRG-21 has a marksman round specific for it, which is the Lapua .308 with a 12 gram Scenar OTM bullet. It's also available commercially.

This one is actually a very interesting image, as it shows a rifle which is very rarely seen in FDF pictures, unlike the TRG-42.
