Just bought a KRG Bravo stock for my Howa 1500 action. 26” Bartlein 5R barrel 6.5 Creed. Has anyone had any experience with this stock good or bad?

Everything you’re looking for.
Looks awesome! You’ve got to super excited to get to the range! Let me know what you think, thanks.
It was hydro-dipped in a carbon fiber look, then (I'm guessing) sponge painted with the blotches you see there. Came out better than I envisioned. Nate with Hunter Precision in Mona, UT is the guy you can get it done with to kill the curious cat.
@Shooter II I just picked it up this weekend. Finally reporting back like I promised. Nate with Hunter Precision (who built the rifle) and I went to his local range and we put all the necessary info in my Hornady 4DOF. With him on the spotter, I took it out to ~350, ~550, ~780, ~990 to confirm data. The rifle shot lights out. Now that stock through the whole process was amazing. Easy to adjust and once adjusted it is locked there and solid. I can't stress that enough. The palm swell is natural feeling. If you haven't ordered one, do it!
I have one that I have yet to shoot, but it feels good just shouldering it. I can’t wait to get out and finally shoot it.
I see you got yours. I didn't see it earlier in the thread. Dude, that's a helluva group man! Nice.
I bought one for my .308 and liked it so much when I built my 6.5 CM I put it in a Bravo also. Both guns shoot very well.
Thanks dude! It’s an awesome stock especially for the price. Hope they come out with a slightly offset cheek piece some day. Can’t wait to run it out to 800+, gonna be super fun!
I think the Bravo would be a steal at $500, so the fact that you can get them for $300 or so just blows my mind. I thought I was settling for the Bravo instead of the Whiskey 3, but after shooting both, I'm not so sure. The W3 is great, without a doubt, but I sure didn't notice a $500-700 difference.
I have three of them 2- Rem 700 and a Tikka. I would get the spigot if you have the extra cash my son uses one on his origin actioned 6br for prs and he uses the spigot for prone (28" barrel) and then we have a rail mount farther back to move the bipod to for culverts and barrels
Totally agree, for roughly $300 it’s the best deal out there right now, that I’ve seen anyway. Whole lotta stock for not a lot of money.
I am fascinated by your observation. I know the W3 has just shy almost a pound of weight on the Bravo. But never would think the feel wasn't noticeably different. To me, I just thought there would be. That's cool. Just means KRG makes a great product across the board. Giving the consumer an affordable option without truly compromising anywhere. I dig it.
Don't get me wrong, they do feel different, and the W3 is nicer, hands down. What I'm saying is, if you told me one was $900-1000 and the other was $600 and I had to pick one, I'd have a hard decision. Tell me one was $900-1000 and the other was $340sih? I'd think you were scamming me.
But yeah, KRG does make a great product. It's well thought out and solid. They hit it out of the park with this "budget" chassis.
Compared to my $1000 dollar Manners T4a the biggest difference is weight. Me and my son have the exact same barreled actions trigger and all he runs the Bravo and the accuracy is identical. I like the extra weight of the T4a but the bravo on my tikka with a heavier barrel feels almost the same.
