Can I just say how much I appreciate how you present things. So many guntubers are so damn hyperbolic or excitable. This feels a bit like Steve from Brownells, tells me what I want to know in an acceptable amount of time and doesn't annoy me, honestly the highest praise I can give for review type videos. Also thank you for not being pedantic
This is how Magpul hunter should have been.
Magpul Hunter is also half the price, still prefer the KRG though
So they made the Magpul Pro, which is way more expensive
great review
Will be buying Tikka T3 version tonight
Just ordered my Tikka T3X CTR 6.5CM 24" Stainless Med/Heavy Contour barrel and will be dropping it in this KRG Bravo Hybrid Chassis/Stock along with their adj. butt-pad and enclosed fore end w/ arca-rail.
@@tawaitai how's it all worked out for you? Same question to Shootsmith if you feel so obliged.
Wish they made one for Savage 10s.
or just buy any other bolt action that fits this chassis.... savages are cheap. who cares.
Looks like a TRG stock.. everything from KRG is quality!
Thank you for this review. I have been looking at the MDT LSS-Gen 2 chassis for my Howa stainless barrelled action in .223. However, pricing is a bit beyond my budget. I am now considering the KRG instead. Other reviews I have seen only seem to lightly skim over the chassis and not really fill me with confidence in purchasing one. Yours went into far more detail which I appreciated. Cheers from Australia.
Great youtube channel! Question about the KRG Bravo's cheek riser. The two posts kind of give it a flimsy look. How solid is that cheek riser when it is extended?
I think I’ll get 1 of these. These look a lot better than the Magpul, which is still decent.
When one fits a Howa 1500 short action, I'll buy two!
Its available for the howa 1500 now
Why the hell is your scope mounted so high?
Hi John, doesn't the KRG Bravo allow you to adjust mag retention? If I remember correctly, you can dial that in on X Ray by moving the foregrip before torquing down foregrip screws.
This looks great. Do they accept left handed actions? Would it be feasible to cut the slot for the bolt, or would that take away too much structure?
Eric H sim waiting for a lefty version. I think there is too much modification needed for a lefty version (bolt, safety, trigger?)
Have you had a chance to try the CG-22 trigger yet? I plan on putting one of them on my Bighorn TL-2 and am liking this chassis.
I have a Remington 270 and I can't get my bolt out? Is there a way to cut off the cheek well so I can remove my bolt to clean it?
Thx for the review John. On a chassis related topic, what are your thoughts on Whiskey 3 vs MPA? I plan to upgrade my Rem 700 LR in 7mm Rem Mag. Thx & Happy Thanksgiving.
+Gerald Bondoc the MPA is a very competition oriented chassis. I have not reviewed them yet, but I like the features they offer. The W3C is more “tactically” oriented, but there is a lot of overlap between the two.
This looks good for a .308. But how do you think the long action version of the chassis would hold up to a 300 win mag?
Does it come with a rear sling swivel mount?
They make bipods with a sling attachment if not
Great info as always, any info if they plan to do a Savage version?
+1demochad1 no info yet.
they told me no
What barrel profiles will it fit?
I think the fore-end is an improvement to the x-ray with the M-Lok and the magazine fence. Do you know if it is compatible, and if so, will they be offering it separately?
Happy Thanksgiving, to you and your family.
Take a look on their site, I think it was made to be compatible and modular.
Looks awesome!
How does this compare to the Magpul Hunter 700? Is there a quality, accuracy, materials difference worth noting? Thanks.
John what is your farthest shot on steel ???
Can you tell me which model of spuhr mount you used here? Thanks alot
Its not an A5 style stock. Its pretty much a trg22 copy with the same style aluminum backbone.
Which bipod is that?
Do you make one for a M1917 Enfield? If not, no.
What bolt knob is that? I want that!
sorryociffer KRG bolt knob.
Yeah the KRG bolt knob and I love it on mine.
Im building a 700 right now, I'm using a M24 contour with a Bad. Ordnance recoil lug, its 0.312 size. Do you think this contour and this lug will work? And if the lug is too long can the recoil lug space on the stock be modified to accommodate it???
Check the site it gives you the specs
this or grayboe renegade? ty devil!
I was in the same boat, wound up getting the krg.
What suppressor is it?
Thunder Beast 30P1
price point or price range ?
It's 350 for Remington. Idk about Tikka
This or the Hunter 700?
I prefer the Bravo over the Hunter.
Martinez Gary Taylor Kenneth Rodriguez Patricia
Howa Bravo
Lopez Charles Harris Sarah Rodriguez Kimberly
Recoil lug
It shoulda came with the block off plate in the box fer fucks sake !!!!!!
"Chassis and system" WTF is wrong with people? Why dont say it like it is "putting another recycled milk jug star wars style stock on your rifle"
Oddmund Dale,I am glad really smart guys like you can spot the hidden agenda in this review!
This stock is exactly what I've been looking for. It's even at the price point I am willing to pay. I'm saving up for this.
Did you get it?
Rodriguez Jason Young Brenda Miller Maria
I bought this for my factory Rem 700 varmit 6.5 creedmoor. It looks and works awesome. I love it!!! I just wish they would make one to fit my savage 10 s and 12s!!
Wish this was available when I built my budget 700. Went with the Magpul and though I love it, I would have done this instead. Love KRG.
Good vid , stock reminds me of a TRG22 stock
You're right. It's very similar.
I've been looking for a magpul hunter style stock with an upright grip for my tikka ctr. This looks like it fit the bill. Great review John 👍
do you know if there are any magpul style stocks for the tikka?
Poor man TRG chassis, but you are able to use it on common brands, and it looks really nice, and the price is maybe one of the best for the buck there is.This could be KRG hit product on rifle market chassis.
For the design and price nothing else comes close and accessories to boot, KRG hit it outta the park with this hybrid-chassis.
tawaitai AND THEN SOME. 👍
no matter which way you shake it the magpul 700 stock looks like a boat paddle.
Excellent review and very much appreciated as I'm shopping this chassis right now. Thank you.
Nice, its in the mail. It will be a huge upgrade from my hogue super soft twisty rubber stock.
I actually like the simpler look of this stock as compared to that of the Whisky-3 or X-Ray chassis.
Hey john I used your reloading 101 series to get started reloading..... I just hit my 18" gong at 1600 yards ......👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That's pretty impressive. How long have you been shooting now? I would love to see you hitting her. Were you planning on making a video?
Looking forward to this for a while now. I should fit in well with a medium weight 20" 308
Kind of a por mans trg. I love it. I have a old rem 700 308 that’s be sitting. I’m going to sent it to hart for a rebarrel / true , in 65 creed. This stock would be a nice opt. Thanks for a good review.
How could you let a Remy 700 sit? I wouldnt have the restraint to do that at all lol. They are a excellent rifle
Will my TRG will get very cross with me if I put this clone chassis on my Tikka ? Good option -vs- MDT. I have that setup, so I might grab this given the price and compare.
Does anyone know what accessory is mentioned at 11:42? I've looked all over KRG's website and I can't find it.
Love the intro clip reminds me of Carlos hathcocks shot through the enemy scope
That is exactly what it was inspired by!
That's awesome Carlos has been my child hood hero since I was like 11 years old man. He's the stuff legends are made of!
Smith Gary Johnson Lisa Gonzalez Christopher
Always a great video, Happy thanksgiving John. Aloha
The only stock available in "Sako" Green is for the Tikka actions. Makes me wonder if they have some kind of a deal with them IE Sako. Would love to build a poor mans TRG with a 700 or Howa.Then, there is always Krylon Fusion in OD, close enough ;)
Just make it with a t3x/t3
Very well presented my friend!
NEED one for my savage
I'm looking at one for my Savage I have a Xray with a Tikka action
@Kitty Animz mpa has great set ups
Happy thanksgiving great vi vid john
Great review, I'm a fan of the KRG products and run several of their chassis on my target systems and looked forward to this for a hunting rig. But holy maximum scope height on that setup in the video. Was that needed to clear the can?
+Alex Morgan nope. Just what was on the rifle at the time. I didn’t totally reconfigure the action because we were on a bit of a time crunch. With adjustable comb chassis it is a non-issue.
Good to know, for my future can purchases
What are the better traditional style stocks out there? I’m not fan of these “tactical chassis” systems and want a light weight traditional style stock. Your thoughts?
+kcmaloney1 McMillan or Manners on the top end. Bell & Carlson if you are on a budget.
Which B&C stock did you go? I notice the B&C Tactical Varmint looks good, and not a tactical style stock, looks to be aluminium bedded from fore to aft, and one of their more pricey stocks, and looks rock solid. (looks, the local store doesn't have one to see/feel and mount).
Does the Tikka version also accept Magpul mags?
I did a bit of research myself, seems you have to take the dremel tool to the magpul mags to get them to work with the tikka. th-cam.com/video/Yf36PELRy10/w-d-xo.html
Happy Thanksgiving John
John great review! I believe this will be my 2nd chassis.
For Tikka T3x available only for short actions (Nov 2020).
Few chassis mfr.'s manufacture for my rifle. I have a Savage 110 FCP in 338 LM. It uses the 3.850" DBM's. It came with a stock notoriously flexible at the forend. Am I going to have any luck here?
+ 8541 Tactical did you have any issues with the cheek weld adjustable posts being too short? Can you remove them and insert longer posts? I also have a Spur optic mount I would install on this chassis. Thanks in advance.
I have this stock for a Howa 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor. At the bottom back of the stock there is two holes which appear to be for a rail perhaps? I would like to put an adjustable monopod on the back. Are those holes threaded for a rail install. If not how do you mount a rail there? Thanks for your help.
Got one for my first build with the mindset that one day I would build another and probably reuse the bravo and get upgrade this rifles chassis to something "cooler" or just add the forend and such later on
It looks like the action bedding is a radius system. Can you speak to how nicely the action lays in there? I was interested in their x-ray chassis because it comes with the v-block system. I was leaning towards the v-block idea because it sounds like it's a little easier to get right.
Is this radius bedding system going to be something that I am going to have to work on bedding like other aluminum bedding blocks?
As always thank you for the great vids.
-Micah
will it fit on Howa 1500 SA? am interested on this stock
KRG will have a Howa SA version, out to the public soon. Currently the Bravo to suit the Howa SA, is being sold with Legacy Sports Howa packages. So it's on the way for the rest.
Nice twat .....
There are so many different chassis systems out there...every time I think I've decide what I want, I discover another. Could you possibly do some comparison to those available? Most don't have the luxury of direct comparison.
Their website says it doesn't take Magpul AIC pattern mags. I wonder if that's why it's so tight.
I definitely would love this chassis for my 7.62X39 1500 howa mini action
I can confirm that magazine drop-free chassis are a problem...on my MDT HS3 I have lots of misfeeds because there is too much wobble. Sad for an expensive system.
I no shit, just got an ad for Bernie's campaign before watching this. 10/10 ironic
Would for work with an AI 338 lapua magazine?
Any info if they will add howa to the bravo lineup like the did the xray?
Nice review and i gotta have one of these for Rem AAC-SD!
Wish they would make a bravo style folder.
How will this stock work with the elite iron bipod mounting interface?
This or the bell and Carlson medalist 6
Does the KRG Bravo have a metal floorplate/trigger guard?
The trigger guard is aluminum. There is no floor plate. It is a AICS magazine system.
what scope mount is that?
Would you consider this to be a good stock to split time between hunting and long range target practice/PRS competition? Need to build a hunting rifle, but would like it to do double duty. This seems to be lighter than a lot of Mcmillian
s like the a5, Manners and Grayboe stocks, well priced, more traditional profile. Maybe it would be a good candidate to be a hunting rig that can occasionally do double duty.
I'm looking to build a deer/elk rifle. And it would be used at times for multi day backpack hunting excursions, so not terribly heavy is important. Was thinking something in the 7mm08, 6.5x284, .280 rem range. Decisions, decisions.
My wife currently has a Hunter 700 stock and she would like to get a different stock. The complaint she has with her Hunter 700 is she can't use the Accu Shot Monopod. Do you know if that monopod would work with the KRG?
+fadsdrink yes. There are rail mounting holes on the bottom of the Buttstock.
What is the model of the attached optic?
What is that scope
Nice review
Thanks!
Do I need a bottom metal or a detachable mag well for this? Or do I just drop the action in and bam it’s a mag fed rifle now?
Thanks m8.
awesome review!
How's the weight? And how rigid is the cheek rest?
+DL33TT three pounds and rigid.
Hey John. How are you doing. Great video. Forgot how many time I have watched this video the last several hours.
Questions please. Need answered.
Where can I find this? Lol.
No one has it in stock
How does this stock compare to Magpul 700 stock?
The Tan Bolt knob, how's the feel when loading rounds? Is the knob tight or you get movement ???
Thanks in advance for making this video. Now if I can only get this ordered.
KRG is your best bet for purchasing one. I prefer this to the Magpul Hunter. The pistol grip is at a much better angle for me. The KRG Bolt Lift is a solid addition. I don't perceive any movement when I am cycling the bolt.
8541 Tactical
Thanks in advance. I think that's my choice to purchase. Thought about it and I need to have more forearm section to be able to grip it when hunting or offhand shooting. I will keeps you posted as it's my winter project since I can't go out in cold. Health issues. Anyway I'm thankful for your videos. It's like Channel 1 on my tv.
Last question, the Bolt Knob handle you using on this video. How tight and firm is this model when cycling bolt? Do you notice any movement of any type? Any?
Appears to be from KRG? Am i correct?
Did you have to get the handle drilled out?
Maybe I missed it but will it handle a Remage style barrel?
+dk17hmr if it is 1.25” or smaller diameter, it should.
