Looking to build a tikka 223 for coyotes and range use for teaching my 9yr son more on shooting. Already shooting his 22 just fine.

My build plan is a stock 223 t3x sporter. Eventually do a kreiger 1:6.5 or 7T 223 or 223ai barrel.
Leave trigger alone for most part for now.
20moa scope base from tikkaperformance.com
My undecided part is stock. Id like to keep it on a relative budget.

Options are
1) krg bravo or x-ray
2) b&c t3x ctr target/competition stock with tikkaperformance ctr to aics bottom metal (domt wanna buy ctr mags)
Which stock would be a better option for hunting and general shooting? Ive had a bravo on a defiance build but wasn't overly impressed. I now run a jcs composites adjustable tactical with my bighorn and prefer that style over the bravo setup.
 
Have you had a look at the MDT XRS?

I personally am not a huge fan of the aesthetics, but is another option similar to the bravo and accepts AICS mags.
