KRG Bravo Tikka

[Shootinsurveyor]

I am planning a elk/mule deer hunt next fall to Montana. I just got a Tikka Superlite 6.5cm as a gift from my employer. This is obviously a light gun. I am used to a Mcm A5 on my 243 bolt gun. The stock on the Tikka has way to low of a comb even for me to use comfortably with a low hunting scope. I saw that the KRG Bravo has the features I would want and is cheaper than the options that Manners and Mcm have. Is this a heavy tactical stock like Mcm or can I possibly make a “lightweight” build with it? Or should I just search the forum classifieds and find a Manners EH series

KRG lists the bravo at 2.9 lbs, or 46.4 oz. You can get a manners EH8 at 25 oz. But looks like any adjustable manners will be closer to the Bravo than the EH8 in weight.

PSE-Composites from Ireland make pretty light stocks with adjustable cheek pieces. Not sure how to get one in USA, though

There are many options for getting the comb height you want. A stock pack or add on cheek riser. 47 grains of RL 26 and 147eld will get you 2860fps or more depending on your altitude/conditions if you want to get the most out of that rifle for killing an elk. I put a long bolt stop on mine to be able to seat bullets out farther and use case capacity. 2.968 coal is what I am running. You can get the longer 3 or 5 round tikka magazines to run the longer coal. 5 round tikka magazine part number is S5850375. Europtic had the best price on magazines last time I was looking. Good luck with your Hunt!

Also, for a more vertical grip you can replace the traditional grip with a vertical one on the t3x stocks.

Your superlite stock is 26 ounces.
