I honestly don't know, I had my scope set up from the last time I was shooting at 325 yards and never returned to zero when I was done. I really need to set my turrets to zero on the Nightforce.

The KRG is 80% aluminum. The modularity of using magpul MOE rails was lost on me at first, but It's growing on me.
I can't speak for the new slimmer grip size, I'm glad I got a gen 2 since the grip feels like an perfected McMillan A4. Its a pistol grip thumbhole hybrid: the benefit of having a grip almost entirely unobstructed by the supporting material to the rest of the stock, with enough 'shelf' space to ride your thumb along the sides.
I never liked thumbhole stocks since I felt i had to pull my hand 'out' before i could cycle the bolt, not so with the W3. Its roomy enough to be comfortable at any position and lines my hand up to the trigger in a way that I always wanted.
The fit and finish is at a NASA level as far as gun parts are concerned. The mag release is just right IMHO in size/shape.
I'm also a fan of flush cups, and therefore have slings with that form of QD hardware, not a good match with AICS since they use the HK type loops. Thats personal but was always a big hangup for me taking the AI route.
Downside is the 80% aluminum is 99% of the weight. The cheekpiece is on the small side, but I believe its damn near identical in shape to that on the AICS.
Obviously, I like it but did my best job of trying to explain why.

what part of the KRG is not aluminum? Ihave always wondered myself.

Yeah we're building the next Mars Rover, haha. Seriously though we try to maintain a high level of quality throughout the stock, from design through fit and finish and presentation and there's always room for improvement and we keep working on it.
The Whiskey-3 has the polymer grip panels and cheek rest, and has a couple steel parts like the lower spar and some pieces of the LOP system.
Thanks,
Justin

Ive owned 2 AICS, upgraded both with Viperskins because I wasnt a fan of the grip/trigger relationship. I do like the AICS now with the pistol grips, but have recently sold one and am waiting on delivery of a W3. Looking forward to getting behind one and trying something different

Re: KRG Whiskey 3 or AICS 1.5 w/Viper Skins for 700 LA
You really need to get behind both stocks as they have a totally different "feel" to them. I hate the grip to trigger relationship of the AICS and the thumbhole stock, I can never get comfortable.
It's too bad, as I believe the AI is one of the best actions on the market.
I have 3 of the Whiskey 3's, a Sako TRG and many different fiberglass stocks. I have shot or been behind about every chassis system on the market at the matches I attend.
The modularity and easy adjustability of the W3C is without peer, I use the adjustable LOP a lot during matches, as I have different scope eye-relief while prone, sitting/kneeling, standing and barricade positions.
I also love the hand/thumb position and grip feel/angle of the bigger grip, I haven't handled the new smaller grip, but I'm sure it will be good for people w/ smaller hands.

I agree 100% with what Hellbender has said. W3 is very versatile and the most comfortable chassis I've been behind. Its fast and easy to adjust.
