KRG Bravo Chassis

@Massoud,

or anyone else who knows...how do you best adjust the magwell fit? I saw someone post about it a few pages back, but no one answered. He loosened everything up , but nothing moved. I'd rather not break my gun down without knowing what i'm supposed to be doing, as shooting it is just too much fun right now. The mags fit ok right now, and feed great, unless there is anything touching the mag, and then it locks up tight and won't feed. Someone in the T3 thread said he had the same issue, and that tightening up the magwell fit took care of it. Thanks!
 
With the screws loose insert the mag, you can push the bottom of the mag forward, caming the forearm forward to make it looser and tighten the screws to hold that setting or you can pull the forearm back into the mag to snug it up.

It’s not a whole lot of movement, it’s basically going to be touching but you adjust the amount of squeeze. I went forward just far enough for an empty mag to drop free, took 3 trail and errors to figure it out.

Does the barreled action need to be in or out of the chassis? I would normally think out, but maybe in to make sure everything works together?
 
Got it sorted, thanks again. One try, works great. Put the gun back together and hit sub 2moa steel cold at 337, from a reverse kneeling. I'll tweak it at 100 later, but it seems to have come basically right back. These Tikkas, (and the Bravo's) are really pretty awesome.

What I had to do after wondering just what you did, was to remove the forend skin and dremel the rear part of it down. It was running into the stock skin and wouldn't let me get the mag fit as tight as I wanted. Aesthetically there is more of a gap but its a chassis so I don't really care
 
Posting a follow up as promised. Got an Accurate mag in the mail and tried it in the Bravo since the Alpha mag I had caused feed issues. Made a few dummy rounds and they fed fine. Tried pushing up and pulling down on the mag during feeding and they all chambered anyway. Seems to have fixed the problem. I did not have to loosen the screws and adjust the trigger,stock fit to fix it. Time to sell my Alphas and get some Accurates....too bad as the Alphas are 1" shorter but at least happy its trouble free now.

Thank you for the update. If you have any more trouble please let us know.

Justin Thanks. Any idea when the adjustable recoil pad assembly for the Bravo will be back in stock? On a mission to get this setup the same as my TRG...now that I am confident the Bravo will work out time to put a few more bucks into it-
 
@Massoud, Justin,
I installed the KRG Arca rail on my Bravo. I used the original 6 screws from the Bravo added some blue loctite, would this be OK? Also, i had to remove the sling swivel that came on the Bravo, but seems like there's no where to install it on the Arca rail. Is it possible to? Do i need to use one of the nuts (since there seems to be no threads on the Arca) and take off the Arca and plastic hand guard and tighten down the swivel with the handguard and Arca rail in between?

I also have the Arca Spigot and know its possible to put the sling swivel the Spigot, but would like to know if the option is available to attach it to the Arca rail.

Would be great if the instructions had more pictures to show how modular and where/how things could be attached. I also understand that logistics and costs will apply to that and you're doing the best you can. Maybe i missed it somewhere?

thanks!

any coupon codes for 'hide' members? :)

Finally got around to emailing KRG last night since the Tikka cheekpieces for the Bravo are out, asking how to order one since its not listed separately on their site. I got a response that they had already shipped one to me this morning!

Just wanted to give them a shout out for excellent customer service! I will continue to buy their stuff (which is good enough on its own merit that I didn't need this as another reason).

If you put it on the rail, you lose the ability to slide and position things up and down it, which is the benefit of the rail over a picatinny. Seems like on the spigot would be better although I have a QD socket for one on one of the front mlok slots

not exactly, i think there's still maybe 1/2 of the Arca rail left to slide anything back/forth. But this was gonna be a temp setup anyway since i don't have an Arca clamp yet.
 
I’m dumping the stock that came on my factory Christensen Arms Mesa 450 BM (MI hunting legal) and got a Bravo and KRG Arca Swiss Rail on order. I had a Bradley cheek rest on the lightweight Sporter factory stock and was pleasantly surprised that I’m only gaining 4 or so ounces going with the setup so it was a no brainer when trying to figure out get my hunting setup good to go for my tripod.
 
KRG posted on their Facebook that they hope to be up and running again by Monday. Just FWIW:

As some of you may have noticed, the KRG website and email server are down. We’re working hard on this issue and hope to have everything back to normal by Monday. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Have a great weekend!

*Hashtags omitted*
 
It will be interesting to learn the cause of the outage. KRG's provider is InMotion Hosting which is highly rated and features an excellent uptime rating. I haven't seen any industry grapevine rumblings of InMotion being hacked, but InMotion's status page does however indicate a problem with a certain class of server they are running. Perhaps by Monday, KRG will provide the full story. Three full days of outage is pretty log for a web based company.
 
Thank you, hopefully they get it done soon but as of Monday morning it's still down and we can't pull the website over due to some issues that are beyond my understanding. We're working on at least getting up a notification page.

Our email is down as well, if anyone has questions or issues please email us at [email protected]. I'm sorry for the issues, for now we're just sitting waiting for service to be restored but then we'll get on those outstanding orders and emails. Thank you,
Justin
 
Any way to order a R700 SA Bravo with the W3 style polymer forend? I realize I can order a Bravo and then order a W3 forend, but then I've got extra parts and I hate extra parts.. Any update on the simplified spigot?

I'd love to just order it all together.

Brownells has the Bravo's for Rem 700 inlets. We are trying to get phone ordering going but you could try Brownells first. Thank you for your business!

Regarding the Bravo with W-3 forend, we don't have that option at this time but we are working on a chassis builder type of thing where you can select different back ends and front ends, that won't be ready in the next month though.

Thanks guys,
Justin

I haven't kept up, will my recoil lug fit the new ones without modification? I know my one I bought in the pre-order doesn't fit.
 
May have missed this in previous pages, but is Brownell's going to eventually carry the Sako Green Bravo stock?
 
Any news on th simplified spigot yet?

The local (South Africa) dealer is still waiting for his shipment (Howa inlet), I wish it would arrive already, I'm buying one for sure.

If you go back a couple pages I showed how to use an Atlas TRG spigot on the Bravo. If you cant wait and have a drill and maybe dremel it works fine for $50.
 
Thanks, I will look back.

Am I reading their website correctly, the Bravo comes with a picatinny rail ready to mount under the forend which I'd be able to use for my Atlas bipod?
 
Does anyone here have the enclosed forend? If so, does the enclosed forend give a lower spigot mount position? I got a new barrel and I am literally a hair too big in diameter to use the TRG bipod without touching.
 
Finally got my Bravo and Swiss Arca Rail for my hunting rifle. Holy smokes am I impressed. Like sell my AICS 2.0 impressed for my 308. It’s light, Feels GREAT. Im at the point of no good tripod interface for the legacy AI, and getting behind both rifles side by side I’m really impressed with the Bravo! Change might be comin’!

Is the TOOL-LESS BUTTPAD HEIGHT MECHANISM a worthwhile addition to the Bravo? I'm looking to place an order with KRG. Those who have the feature, do you use it? I'm either shooting from a bench or prone.

Also Brownells has a 10% code for today and if you go through active junky (another 7% off) you can get a black 700 Bravo for under $300 shipped.

IMHO it is. It made the LOP a little bit long but not too much (about equal to a spacer and a half) but it puts the pad in the pocket of my shoulder much better, and adjusting the angle keeps me from turning the rifle clockwise when I pull it tight

Finally have the funds set aside for a stock. Going to spruce up my grandfather's 22-250 for some coyotes. Now for a new scope as well.....
 
Fellas, in case you are looking to order and haven't seen already, the website is back up and going and we have a couple new products. One is a cool rifle case/shooting mat, also we have the Bravo forends available for ordering as a separate item, plus a new hat. More will follow.

The Spigot Mount does not work with the Enclosed Forend. The Enclosed forend is kind of like a forend, spigot, and NV mount all in one.

Thanks guys,
Justin

Got a question for you guys. Does the tooless butt pad system work switch spacers, and I understand they are able to cant the pad as well right?

Thanks for the updates. Do you know if there are plans to cut the Bravo for the CTR bottom metal and mags? Or is that just a pipe-dream of mine?

Should be able to mount it either way. Spacers or tool-less buttpad first. The adjuster itself takes the space of one or two of the spacers. I don't have my Bravo in front of me and I honestly don't remember which way I have mine. And yes, it allows for 15 degrees of cant in either direction.

You can use spacers with the tool less buttpad. When I had my Bravo I drilled a hole in the spacers and put them between the tool less buttpad and the chassis and it looked much cleaner.

Cool. And the tooless butt plate allows the pd to be canted as well correct?
