KRG Bravo Chassis

[RabbitSlayer]

I have a bravo on my tikka. I love it. Shoots hornady match .5 moa avg. Ill buy more.

I have the KRG Bravo on my Savage 6BR. Very accurate rifle and the stock works well on shooting sticks. I plan on getting another one soon for my Tikka rifle.

There are hollow areas. I used some thin foam to hold the shot in place.
It did what I wanted, let me see my impacts.

Thank You, appreciate the info, I'll order one and try it out. The listed weight is a bit light and I didn't want to have to drill it. It appears there are many options for additional weight in front and back for balance.

My first KRG Bravo Chassis came to me second hand. The previous owner put 24.5 oz. of stick on weights in the barrel channel and butt. I seen this weight kit in Harbor Freight.

I filled inside the stock with lead shot and tabletop epoxy and also put the metal butt plates. It balanced out the 28" heavy varmint contour.

The Bravo is a good low budget chassis, the only issue I have with it is the forearm is too short.

I have a Hendersen Arca rail that extends out 2" in front of the forearm.

Forces you to have to buy the spud extension or whatever they call it if you’re a bipod user and need the extra length for balance.

Exactly so that $400 chassis ends up being a $500 dollar chassis.
That chassis is really a PRS or hunting chassis, if you are single loading on a bench
then there is zero reasons to get that chassis. Better to get a benchrest stock.

Bravo chassis on T1X and on a T3X. Will be ordering another Bravo for another T3X. Says alot.

I am not using any of my Bravo chassis for BR competition, but with a bag rider add on I have shot some pretty impressive groups with 223 and a Dasher.

 

[Dgd6mm]

I have three guns with the KRG Bravo chassis, a 224 Val AI, a 6.5 Dasher and a 25X improved. All three are bench guns and will shoot well under 1/2 MOA at 200 yards as well as ring steel at 1000 and beyond. I can't relate to factory stocks as these are custom made rifles featuring Bartlein barrels and Bighorn Origin actions but I am very happy with the Bravo. I also made custom solid brass butt spacers to help balance the 28" heavy Palma barrels. For single shot loading I use a .308 Original Bob Sled (AI). I also fashioned 3" wide outrigger bag riders and fastened them to the fore end. These slide easily in the front rest while the rear has the KRG bag rider and works well in the Protector rear bag. Get the Bravo, you won't be sorry.

I have a Bravo chassis for a Rem 300wnmg. Its a great stock and I appreciate that the KRG's can intechange components with Sako TRGs.

The bravo is good for what it is. You can add weight to it easily. I used lead wheel weights and foam. Mine has a spigot mount which extends the forearm. Easy to set up and seems to be very consistent. You can add anything you like to it. It still has a plastic feel. I feel like you could foam some of the openings and change that some but it’s still plastic. I like the one I have on my 223 tikka.

I grew up with oiled wood and it felt like wood. When I was old enough to be issued a gun the first was metal, the second was wood, and the third was plastic! I've had so many over the years it doesn't make much difference as my needs are function and fit, not neccesarrily material. There are guns that are aesthetic and beautiful, I haven't had any of those in many years. I'll try the Bravo and see if I can make it work for me.

I would like to once again Thank those who responded to adding weight to the Bravo Chassis/Stock.

I mounted my M700 today and it went smoothly. The MagPul magazines insert/release and feed well without requiring any adjustment.

I put one spaced in the butt which provided for a 13 1/4" length of pull being 1/4" shorter than the previous stock. In the future I would like to move my scope 1/2" forward in the rings and when I do I will most likely remove the spacer.

I positioned the Swiss-Arca adapter as close to the magazine well and that provided a pretty close balance on the tripod ball head.

The bipod was fixed to the standard stud provided and is about 1 3/4" closer to the receiver than the previous stock and that is an improvement for my style of shooting.

I used the included QD cup for the rear sling swivel and installed a M-Lok MagPul on the left side in the slot of the forend.

I added buckshot under the butt plate and number 8 shot to the pistol grip. Total weight of the rifle with the previous stock, bipod and 5 round magazine was 14 lbs 2 oz. With the Bravo is now weighs 15 lbs 10 oz and I wanted between 15 and 16 lbs, so it came out pretty close to the target weight.

The adjustable cheek riser is adequate and slimmer than the previous which allows me to get eye alignment with less canting of my head.

All and all, for a budget/value chassis/stock it would appear to do well. However, the proof is in the shooting, maybe tomorrow!
