Full Review of KRG Bravo Chassis: Is it worth the Money? (Yes.)

[@kilofoxtrot5476]

You have the only in depth review of a chassis I have found. Great video. 👍

[@Trooper25dad]

Thanks for this video. You just sold me one for my Howa 1500 .308

[@williamwlotzka8721]

I'm not sure if you're aware that because the chassis/stock is modular it is interchangeable w/the x-ray buttstock,so you don't need to sell the bravo to get an x-ray,just buy the x-ray buttstock & install it. They have a shit ton of accessory/upgrades on their website. Check it out,they have some badass shit

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

Most people are just gonna sell the whole thing. It’ll be easier to resell the whole thing than just a buttstock. But yeah, You can.

[@Trooper25dad]

I’m getting a Howa 1500 in 308 and you just sold me a chassis thank you

[@t-3f513]

Nice review on the chassis system. I’m thinking about putting this on my 270wsm.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

You can’t go wrong with it. I love it.

[@LosDoyerss]

Thank you for doing this review. Not many people do real reviews on this chassis.

[@jameswells7754]

Could you do a comparison between KRG Bravo vs Magpul Hunter 700 vs MDT XRS? They’re bout $100-200 difference. Thanks

[@willo7734]

Good in depth review. You sold one to me, I just went and got one.

[@tylarhaugan7908]

Wish they made long action for tikka

[@Deuce_Dufresne]

Looking at this and the MDT XRS…

[@jefflayton5889]

The nice thing is it is completely modular so you can upgrade down the road. I have 2 of the X-ray chassis one right hand and one left, i was able to make a fde lefty chassis out of my right handed model which is the only way you can get one. In the future i plan on upgrading the back of the stock to the whisky version.

[@squib3083]

I’m waiting for brownells or KRG to run a sale then I’m jumping on the bravo for my howa 1500. I have another howa 1500 in an XLR chassis also a great option.

[@mobstamaniac]

Just dropped my Howa (same barreled action as yours) into an MDT Oryx chassis, will be testing accuracy tomorrow, hopefully giving good results.

[@Mex_the_Fox]

Did you already shoot it? Like it so far?

[@mobstamaniac]

@@Mex_the_Fox Haven't been able to produce better accuracy at all. Possibly my shooting, though I have had multiple shooters on this rifle in it's stock config. One of the older guys I know from the range reckons it might be a lemon, might need a new barreled action. I do however very much like the stock itself, very nice piece of kit.

[@Mrtjw]

@@mobstamaniac The howa barrels can be a bit rough.. you'll know if its a lemon after 200+ rounds through it. Usually they tighten up. If not, send it back

[@danbob2707]

I just ordered this for my CZ457. So hyped for it to arrive.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

Dude you’re gonna love it. I have the whiskey 3 now, yet I feel the bravo is so similar that if you don’t need a folding stock, just stick with the bravo. It’s awesome.

[@possumpopper89]

I put one of these on a factory Remington PSS DM to get rid of the unreliable detachable magazine and loved it. The factory rifle became more accurate and the magazines showed good reliable feeding.

[@Tyr1001]

im considering one of these for an ultralight rifle build. It seems like there aren't all that many options available in less than a 4lbs chassis, but this thing comes in at around 2.5lbs

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

Check out grayboe stocks too

[@Tyr1001]

@@marw1920 because reality is different from your opinion in this case. ultralight builds, while not going to have the same stunning accuracy of a bench rifle, are going to be more than accurate enough for most purposes. i was personally looking for one i could pack on my motorcycle for camping/backpacking, and if you've done much of that youd know ounces turn into pounds quick. not to mention with modern materials its not difficult at all to get a light weight and rigid chassis. It's just for a different purpose than bench shooting or hunting out of a trailer

[@MrMcguffin007]

​@@ADudeAndSomeGuns would you still recommend this stock for a entry level budget chassis/stock? How would this compare to the oryx chassis? Looking for a chassis/stock for my Howa 1500.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

@@MrMcguffin007 yeah man. It’s pretty solid. Still love the bravo.

[@MrMcguffin007]

@@ADudeAndSomeGuns I found one for about 340.00 new. Should, I buy now or wait for Black Friday? I've been holding out for a while lol.

[@ertatta]

Excellent review of this Bravo chassis. Kinda sad they don’t make this for Ruger American action.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

would be badass

[@davidradich9342]

I got one for my Remington 700 SBS varmant rifle in .308. Wound up with 1/4 inch groups and better at 60 yards. Looking forward to going out to much longer ranges. It was easy to install and so far I am extremely happy with it. Good value!

[@richpryor9650]

Bro, I can do one better, I got 1/32 inch groups at 10 yards with all 2 shots!!! No one will believe me bro!

[@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan]

Good stuff brother. Seems like a worthy product.

[@airborneivan]

I have one on a build I did last year with a BigHorn Origin action and Keystone Accuracy barrel in 6.5cm. absolutely love the stock. Only gripe is how light it is and the rifle as a whole can feel unbalanced but they do sell weights for it that can help.

[@ertatta]

What do the BH Origin actions run$?

[@airborneivan]

@@ertatta currently they're available on Brownells for 875.

[@christopherd7922]

Is the color the FDE (tan). It looks sharp. I’m guessing that’s what color it is. Nice review

[@Colorado4x4]

Thanks for the video. What bipod and mount do you recommend for this build? Just picked up a Howa 1500 with this

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

@@Colorado4x4 Harris bipod. If you have the budget atlas bipods are solid.

[@Colorado4x4]

@@ADudeAndSomeGuns Thanks! What mount do you recommend?

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

@@Colorado4x4 scope mount? Depends on your budget. I really like badger ordinance, area 419, that being said I’ve used the mounts that came with my Arken scopes and they work too. But gun to my head I’m getting badger/area 419/spuhr

[@Colorado4x4]

@@ADudeAndSomeGuns thanks! I’m going to order ARC M10 scope rings I think and then an Area 419 brake. What do you recommend to mount the bipod? I appreciate your help!

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

@@Colorado4x4 I just put a pic rail on the forend and I had the pic rail version Harris. Clips on. You could go arca and for that I believe 419 makes an arca adapter for Harris as well. I know they make them for the atlas bipods.

[@michaelhill6451]

I am thinking of getting one of these for my Tikka CTR Stainless in 6.5 Creedmoor. The thing already averages under 0.5 MOA for 5-shot groups with pretty much every bullet I've tried in it though, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. I shot it last weekend and even with a heavy winter coat at -4 F I averaged 0.44 MOA for 5-shot groups with Hornady 140 gr ELD-Ms. Anyway, it's hard to know if it will improve how it shoots.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

The bravo will enhance your fit to the rifle, more so than increase accuracy. The Tikka is already very accurate. But the chassis will give you customization of the gun to you. More comfortable and more repeatable, which will lend to you being more accurate with that setup

[@mackredenbarger]

What kind of magazines do you use for these in say a HOWA 6.5 1500?

[@rchouser123]

Have you had feed issues?

[@firearmconvention946]

Dose it come in long action?

[@dashrendar1074]

Does this frame accept the 20rd pmags?

[@andy2314]

awesome chassis . i have two one on my 10/22 and on my prs gun probably going to get a third for my hunting rifle also.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

It’s pretty dang neat.

[@CrIiiIsis]

Have you tried it for hunting? I'm curious if the weight is okay for that purpose.

[@andy2314]

I still haven't tries it yet for hunting but I think I wouldn't be bad If you pair it with light barreled action

[@sssss8700]

Would the ergos be reasonable for shooting free handed? I’m looking at building a howa .308 to dip my toes in the water of long range shooting but would like it to double as a deer rifle as well. I like the options that run AR parts for that but I’m worried about pistol grips snagging on stuff plus they’re more expensive once they’re set up. Not sure if I should go with this or something similar or just pick up a pillar bedded stock from Boyd’s.

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

I think this could work for a hunting setup for sure, but I’d also check out Grayboe stocks as well. They’re a bit lighter and will fit that bill as well

[@scottnightingale7235]

How do the mdt polymer mags feed buddy

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

@@scottnightingale7235 I stopped using polymer aics mags. Just not as reliable as metal mags.

[@scottnightingale7235]

Cheers buddy

[@larrydecker881]

I can't get over the hing point at the grip. One bolt holding the repeated recoil through a horse shoe style buttstock, is such a odd design for a precision chassis

[@scottnightingale7235]

How do the mags feed buddy been tolad they dont feed well

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

Mags feed fine. I will say it be had less problems with metal AI mags compared to magpul. But you can adjust the magazine fit on these also

[@lonz5.56]

Adding the things you want to the chassis will price it over the XRS upfront cost and the XRS needs nothing. That split front/rear is a poor design with one screw holding the back half on and taking the recoil. I would personally spend the extra money on the XRS which I have done. The Bravo looks nice but I can’t get past the two piece body and having to buy a spigot to extend the forend length and then it’s not on the same plane as the forend itself. It’s all personal choice and I’m sure many will enjoy the KRG lineup

[@muratkoturman]

How long is the barrel?

[@ADudeAndSomeGuns]

24” on the howa. Great for 308 that you want to compete with

[@jeansandmyshirt]

is it a copy of mdt xrs?

[@danielkinsler46]

I THINK MDT copied the Bravo actually

[@The10thManRules]

If say that MDT improved upon the hybrid chassis. Regardless, a chassis/stock upgrade is one of the few instant accuracy upgrades for a budget bolt gun. I went from a boring and seldom shot Ruger American Ranch in 300 Blackout to near total modification and upgrade that I shoot 2-3 times a month and can't put down. • Wilson Combat 16" 300 HAM'R barrel • Primary Arms ACSS 1-6X Gen III 300Blk LVPO Primary Arms low ring • Silencerco Omega 9k suppressor • Timney trigger = avg 2lb. Test average w/5 pulls w/a Lyman trigger guage • MDT XRS FDE chassis • Anarchy Outdoors black bolt handle and long knob

[@dgreenapple]

If you don't insist on the "chassis" format, the Bell & Carlson stocks are fantastic - more of a Classic Hunter look. They make one for the Howa, they look great, and they are a fantastic quality product with an aluminum bedding block and fiberglass body. Highly recommend. And if you glass bed the recoil lug, you can easily get 1/2 MOA out of your rifle.

[@joelh3544]

Ive got a a BC alum bed block. Im 1/2 MOA at 10 rounds 308. Federal fusion ammo 180. I couldn’t believe it. I decided not even to develop a load. Just running the same ammo.

[@NelsonZAPTM]

You stole my comment. The B&C stock has an internal chassis and is solid. No plastic, super hard wearing. I still recommend devcon for bedding the lug.
