Alright,
So I was finally able to track down (and buy) a 16" 1500. I'm looking at the Bravo or the HCR. Any preferences/recommendations?

I have never used the HCR chassis, but I have with KRG. The KRG has excellent ergonomics and they have allot of options/accessories for it.

You may also want to look at MDT chassis and Oryx chassis. Both are grate options for the Howa.

Yeah, the Oryx doesn't really do it for me. I have a Brownells/MDT on my Mini Action and I like it. I have to say the price of the Bravo is nice.

Yep the HCR is sweet.
 
The KRG Bravo is an excellent choice. The MDT’s are just a bit off in ergos, imo. Not sure about the HCR.
 
XLR Element is another option. I prefer it to the MDT lss. Bravo would be my second choice.
