I want to preface this by saying I'm not bagging on KRG's product here. The 10-22 has been in production for decades, with multiple variants and clone's in circulation. It would be damn near impossible for a rigid chassis to fit them all perfectly.
Is anyone else noticing a drop in accuracy after swapping to the Bravo? I love the feel of this chassis, but my chassis/receiver fit is loose, and groups have opened way up. Previously I was able to shoot about 1.25-1.5" at 100 yds with this rifle. (I think, maybe I'm cherry picking my memory) Right now it's shooting about 3" with wild dispersal patterns and fliers sometimes landing a few inches further out. I tried packing shims in alongside the rear of the receiver, (.006" on each side) and a strip of rubber on the rear hump of the trigger group. Neither seemed to have helped. I then wedged a .22 chamber flag alongside my barrel (not enough clearance to go under) and that made a noticeable improvement. Groups dropped to about 2". I'm considering going to the thin front shim, and a rubber pressure pad at the end of the stock to see if that helps. Ultimately I'll probably go ahead and order a Kidd rear tang and try installing that. I do already have a rear cleaning hole drilled, hopefully it's a workable size and location for the rear tang.
Anyone else have issues? What have you tried, and what results have you had?
