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.
The recoil pad spacers are designed to go between the tool less buttplate adjuster and the recoil pad. Same exact manner in which they fit between the standard buttplate adjuster and the recoil pad.
Not sure why anyone would set it up differently.
All the T-3 Bravo's are coming with a modified cheekpiece now so you should be good.
It is difficult to explain but if someone's T-3 has the short action bolt stop then just the cocking indicator hits and only in a small range of cheekpiece height position. The problem is that it appears Tikka put long action bolt stops in some short action calibers thus allowing a much longer rearward bolt travel.
RFutch, thank you for your feedback, very glad to hear it!
dsnipe we may put just the Bravo back ends up, it would take a bit to get it going but it's possible.
Nothing yet on the simplified spigot, we're just too buried but it's on the radar along with the CTR/TRG mag version.
Thank you guys for your business!

Cool, and your point is?
The point is to let noobs know that there's the right way and the dumb way.
You and me both.Any updates on the CTR/TRG mag versions? Having to switch to AI mags is the only thing keeping me from getting a Bravo.
Got my Howa back from my Gunsmith today, put it back in the Bravo chassis, very happy with how the Cerakote came out.
Nice. Same brake I have, proof that you don't have to pay $150 for an effective brake.
Fuck I got robbed...........And for $50 at Primary Arms, you really can't go wrong.

Any new developments?
My second one is on order from Brownells ??I ordered my second Bravo today... does that count? ?

*****NOT MY RIFLE. SOMEONES POSTED IN SEEKINS HAVAK PAGE****You guys that have the FDE Bravos, are you satisfied with the color? I have a FDE ordered with my JHR. The JHR has a black action, a SS barrel, and a FDE chassis. I'm having second thoughts on what that's going to look like. When we placed our order back in January, there wasn't a whole lot to look at. Now that I'm seeing the Nucleus actions and the Bravo chassis online, I'm just not sure. I'm thinking I should have ordered the black or the green. Thoughts?
I know, first world problems, right?

I think it looks great and pretty much what I’m shooting for. I think black action would look even better.

I have a Seekins havak action in my bravo and the bolt is hitting the cheek rest. Has anyone had to modify the cheek rest to get full motion of the bolt?
Thanks

Got a KRG Bravo for the wife's custom build. I was really impressed with the chassis when I first received it - it's a very well done chassis at a great price.
It's on its way back from Branden at Custom Gun Coatings, I had him do a pretty unique paint job for the wife!View attachment 6931666
Short action
Can you guys maybe post or PM me some pics of the setup so I can see if I should alter before I get a chance to get the rifle.My Havak in my Bravo does not have that problem. I have even tried my scope with X-high rings in that and the bolt still cleared. My bravo was one of the first out and has the cutout in the cheek piece. I did notice if I were to run the cheek piece higher then it would hit. Cheek weld where the bolt just clears has worked for me.
Greatly appreciated! From what I’ve played with the havak I do like it but I do not get making a “700 footprint” action but having the subtle differences/pains lol. My HP1 showed up at shop last week I’m just waiting for stock and parts to show up so I can make one trip.I will try to get some closer up pictures but here you can see the setup I ran. I wasn't planning on using that scope but my other one went down the day before a match. Here the bolt is in the rearward most position. I put the cheek rest just to where it would clear the bolt and the cheek weld was fine for me. That is a 34mm tube in the ARC X-high rings.View attachment 6934197View attachment 6934198
The length of the bolt/shroud. I have the bravo on a Christensen Arms action and had it on a R700 actions for a minute and I can run the cheek peice anywhere and not have it hit. Also the extra length on the end of the other side of the action in front of the recoil lug. There isn’t a issue with that with the bravo because the “chassis” is level end to end. Standard 700 inlets on stocks don’t work with Seekins due to the action material in front of the recoil lug. That being said if it has room for a prefit barrel nut the Seekins has a better chance of dropping right in. It’s very close in a lot of ways but I don’t think it’s a straight up works with any standard 700 inlet stock/chassis.I only chamfered the back edge of the recoil lug slot slightly. The timney that came with the HAVAK rubbed the right hand side of the trigger cutout. The safety was rough to operate but still functioned. I did not sand this down in my Bravo, rather I swapped to a Huber. What other differences/pains are there?
I think mine looks pretty fantastic. Barrel and action are Cerakoted Black Graphite (H-146Q), and the bolt knob, hood, and muzzle brake are Cerakote FDE (C-246Q).View attachment 6933360

What brake is that?
Thanks
How does you barrel do on matches? I went with an HP1 I stead of the ph1 thinking the lighter barrel may heat up too much and start walking but now I think I am regretting my decision lol.

Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about eitherI just like my CTR stock and mag too much to pay to switch with all the uncertainty around AICS with longer short action cartridges like 6.5 CM.
Cartridges that are right up against the limit of what OAL max is on AICS mags, especially with the excessively long throated Tikka chamber.What do you mean by longer short action cartridges like 6.5CM? Do you mean Creedmoor or Competition/Match? The Creedmoor was made as a short .260 in essence.
