Bergara Premier Ridgeback and bottom metal and barrel contour

[redtr6man]

I just bought a Bergara 6.5PRC Premier Ridgeback. I want to swap out their stock for a KRG Bravo or an AG Composites stock. I am lead to believe the Ridgeback is a Rem 700 clone (with one small protrusion in the stock under the bolt, and a wider recoil lug opening). I have three questions:
1). What bottom metal does Bergara use in the Premier Ridgeback? ( AG and KRG want to know when ordering their stocks). Is it Remington, Badger Ordinance, etc??
2). What exactly is the Premier Ridgeback barrel contour? Sendero? Palma? ( I found their barrel dimension chart for my rifle, but I do not know barrel contours well enough to identify it...(see attached chart)
3). Any one of you guys ever swapped out a Bergara stock for a KRG or other custom stock? Any issues encountered?
Thanks!
Robert

Mine is a medium palma in my LRP 2.0 in 300 PRC. I see if I can help you out and do a little digging.

From what I can find it looks be a medium palma. The bottom metal is Bergara made and it fits AICS mags

What don't you like about the Grayboe stock?

I learned that Bergara uses both a Grayboe stock and Grayboe bottom metal . As such, AG Composite said their stocks are not made to fit or accommodate Grayboe bottom metal.

Their stock just seems a little "roughly made" to me...I know they do have the necessary adjustments. I guess I just like the more "refined" appearance of a JP, Manners or a KRG Bravo. Just me...

Thats cool. I vacillated between the the Ridgeback and the LRP 2.0. Funny that I went with the LRP due to the XLR chassis because I too thought it to be more "refined". Thanks for the feedback

Should drop right into the krg. I dropped a b14 ridge into one with zero issues and it feeds perfect from pmags.

Everything I have found is that all bergara’s are working in 700 stocks save for barrel diameter. My plan is to drop the ridgeback into my magpul pro 700 chassis.
