Put the piece of picatinny rail on the bottom of the forearm. Attach any QD to picatinny adapter.

Anybody have a good way for me to mount a sling to my KRG X-Ray?

I have a magpul QD cup at the rear that I can use, but my forend is the minimalist old version that doesn’t have m-lok on the sides. I have an arca plate on the bottom of the forend so I can’t install the sling stud.

Here’s a picture for reference:

Possibly drill and install your own sling stud?

 

[Thegrass13]

Paracord ends.

 

[Jefe's Dope]

Paracord ends.

I did this at a match when I found out my QDs wouldn't work w/ the Bravo I was shooting. Kept it on for several matches and only added QDs just because. And why you always carry a little paracord.

 

[Cardboard Assassin]

I really like it. A new 7mm-08 project is in-bound and I'm gonna do a very similar setup, only I'm gonna add the enclosed forend weight and the grip weight they just came out with. By the way, what the heck took so long on that grip weight? lol And, why is there no "stock" weight, like one to fit in the cavity in the rear? My shade tree job really stiffened it up, but I'd prefer one that doesn't like a gimp with some tools did it. Anyway, I thought about going to a W3 or something but every time I shoot this rifle I love it more. Don't mess with a good thing

What length is that barrel?

Trying to gauge how mine will look. Whatever length that is it looks "right".

 

[billm2067]

Ok...I crossed over to the other side today. I have three rifles with fiberglass/carbon stocks and I wanted to build a new rifle. So not only have I gone from all Remington's (new rifle is a Howa) but I also put it in a Bravo Chassis. Just got the rifle in today and put it in the chassis.

It gives me plenty of adjustment for the bipod which gets upgraded next.

Just tried some sponge paint on mine.

Sir, you need to make a tutorial video of how to do that! It looks good!

Care to elaborate how you did it?

 

[A-Rob]

Thanks. I tried a different type of sponge style than I’ve done before. First I used a dense sponge, not sea sponges and I did big sections first. I used Aervoe field drab and sand plus Rustoleum dark gray. I baked at 180 for a couple of hours then lightly dusted it with flat black from a distance and let it dry a bit, then wiped it down with alcohol to remove some of the black and “dirty” up the solid colors. Then I sprayed it down with Rustoleum Chalk matte clear. Here’s a picture of it before dusting, The gray was Aervoe Foliage and I removed it and replaced with dark gray:

Thank you for the detailed explanation and pictures! It sounds like your painting skills are way above mine

I will look around for a skilled person in my area.

Enjoy shooting that masterpiece!

 

[brazz04]

Just got my first Tikka and first Bravo. One thing I immediately noticed is that the spigot mount is basically a must have and should just be part of the bravo itself. Otherwise the rifle is just a teeter totter on the bipod. That said, they really should add some sort of Mlok provisions on the spigot itself. I used the forward mounting hole and just drilled and tapped a second hole for my bipod. Now I'm really loving the setup for sure.

 

[Gtar]

I made a backbone and trigger guard to put my Lithgow LA101 in a Bravo stock a while back. It was a bit boring with the tan plastic, I reckon this looks much cooler. I made some stencils on the vinyl cutter and used crimson red, Tungsten and graphite black H series cerakote.

I like the transition from redder to grayer up front. Cleaver scheme

 

[DMP]

Great looking posts here.
I saw a few reviews on tube. Often refered to as "entry level" and bargain priced. It makes it sound cheap!

Sitting here looking at my accesserized Bravo, I decided to total up my add ONS.

$843

I would say these should be refered to us "pick your own upgrades". LOL

That's a really good color combo.

Just mounted the new NF ATACR and had to set the eye relief so I figured it was a good time to snap a few pics.

I’m putting a 7-65prc together and totaled my add-ones for it, $1100! Lol worth it though. I’d love to use the new integral enclosed forend but I want the added weight of the spacer

 

[RFutch]

Anyone have pics of weights on the mlok slots of the forend?

 

[Gtar]

These are on an X-ray but it's the same forend. I machined them from brass for a bit extra weight and cerakoted them black.

 

[Charlie112]

Are the barrel channels on the Bravo all the same size,,?? KRG refers to a max diameter , but nothing else. I have not contacted any dealers, I figured you all would have the answer. ( Trying to purchase chassis for CTR 223)
Thanks,

I've got 4 of them and they're all the same. The barrel channel is the same diameter from front to rear.

I think the MDT weightless weights would be a good add on the Bravo…yep

The current rig: Tikka Bravo with Vision forend. Thank you @BLKWLFK9 I would not have known about The Vision had it not been for your pictures in this thread.

 

[vegashelipilot]

For anyone interested in these Vision forends I put together this video. I've never made a product-review video before so go easy on ya boy.

 

[sgtmack]

I painted it with Rustoleum metallic blue spray paint. It isn't the best paint job ever, but it is blue, so I'm happy.

Origin action, Bartlein prefit in 6 BR from Altus, with a TT Diamond trigger. I have lower rings and a suppressor mount on order, so it's not quite finished.

I only have 60 rds through it, but so far I'm liking the Bravo.

Is that a Zeus QC? If so don’t you just love it

 

[Cardboard Assassin]

Yup, good eyes - it is a QC!

Ive been crazy busy of late (doing a decent sized reno on my house while holding down a 7/7 work schedule) so I'm ashamed to say it still hasn't made it to the range.

Been shooting my 6BR (& LOT of IPSC / 3 Gun) too.

The QC is crazy easy to build. I was on the fence about getting the QC but it is really slick.

My first one arrives tomorrow and love my buddies every time i run his. Second one is looking like 3 Weeks behind it

It’s a pretty nice action. I have an Impact too.

Both are great, but different.

The 90 degree has a lighter lift but the 60 gives me more room when running the bolt (big shovel hands). Apart from that they feel great. The Zeus has a crazy light bolt close.

I’m sure you’ll be very happy.

I'm used to blue guns being dummies/trainers ... this does my head in!

 

[7mm-matt]

Have had a Bravo sitting around for a .243 build that I shelved for a while. This thread got the drive back to finish it. Ordered an X-Caliber .243 barrel while they were on sale. While waiting for that I am going to drop the action off to get worked up, it's just a factory Remington 700 action.

 

[rybe390]

Figured I would contribute to the KRG Bravo love! I love this rifle. Great ergos, and have the grip weight and buttstock weights added for perfect balance. 18lbs 9oz.

What ring height did you use?

I was running mediums. I believe(off the top of my head lol) they were .28”

These are incredible. Do you paint them yourself or is there a shop that does the work? I’ll be getting a Bravo at Christmas and would love to have something like this in my safe.
