stephentri Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi thinking of putting a new stock on my Rem 700 Anyone who has one could you let me know what you think of the krg bravo. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palo Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I have two of them. One on a Remington 700 varmint and another on my tikka t3x ctr. I really like them. Very comfortable stock to shoot with and they use aics mags which feed flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Good to hear. I just ordered one for my T1X 22LR to ready if for the long range 22 shoots. I'm hoping they put the jets to my order and get it to me before the Christmas rush hits full bore.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously thinking of selling my sako quad so I can buy a tikka T1X and put another bravo stock on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I am very pleased with the T1X. I bought one for hunting and one for target shooting. Triggers are great and accuracy is very excellent with a variety of ammunition. I am looking forward to getting the Bravo onto the target model. ~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMLE Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Got one on my 6.5 creedmoor Howa. Fabulous bit of kit ! Can’t recommend enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephentri Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 How do yous find the adjustable cheek piece, with a two guides that hold it close together is it wobble free,the under side of the buttstock looks to be sloped rather than parallel to the barrel how do yous find it tracking on a rear bag.

palo Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 The cheekpiece is rock solid. I use mine with a bipod and a simple filled rear bag so I don't know how it would track with a proper front and rear rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMLE Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I use a simple bag too but have a monopod fitted to a Picantinny rail on the lower stock. I flit between the two using the folded monopod as a crude “bag rider” depending on the ground condition at the time. This works for me but then I’m not trying to win competitions, just shoot well. The cheek piece is solid once set but I recommend you fit something to get the right height set each time. I use some 303 case necks fitted onto the riser posts that I’ve trimmed to the right height, that way I just drop the cheek piece in and it finds the correct setting each time. Others use o rings. I also filled my stock with lead. Out of the box it is quite light weight and I’m used to shooting heavy rifles. I used some strips of roof lead in the fore end, just locating in the cavity and fixed a simple aluminium plate where the spigot mount goes to keep them from inching out under recoil. I also filled the grip cavity with lead shot. Added about 2 lbs in total. There’s a guy in the states making brass fore end inserts for the Bravo stock, a google search will find him, these fix into the stock using the bolts that come with the stock and look really good. From memory though, he wants something like $50 for them + postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 My KRG shipped. Will be here on the 19th.... just to coincide with a down turn in the weather. Of course.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 The KRG arrived on schedule. I just finished getting it set up. I got prone in the living room just to see how it felt. Excellent. Going to shoot it tomorrow.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Will do. Went to the Cabela's store in the city yesterday to pick up a QD swivel attachment for the front and found some CCI Sub Sonic ammunition which has been a pretty solid performer in both of my T1Xs. (as well as others. YouTube) Since Cabela's seems to be phasing out shooting items -even in Montana- I bought the 400 rounds they had left on the shelf. I'll let you know how they work.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the odd loud popping round with cci subsonic in 20" barrel t1x with sound moderator but decent accuracy otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 You called it. The CCI SubSonics had one round in 10 go supersonic and hit about .4" higher than the POA. Otherwise, grouping was about .4 inches CTC. Federal Ultra Match (RWS) shot as well as i could, putting 8 or 9 of 10 into a bitty hole at 50 yards. The KRG stock was very comfortable to shoot and the added weight helped with follow through.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have Federal gold match here. Good shooting and I like what you have done with the T1X. UPS delivered my MDT LSS for my T1X today.

meles meles Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 If you have access to them, Eley Contact are reliably subsonic and extremely accurate in all the rifles we have tried them in. In the UK at least they are low cost too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I have had a look for "Contact" and can't come up with them. Perhaps they are branded differently for US markets. I shot SK Rifle Match yesterday and they were not only 100% subsonic, but my Tikka seemed to like them. Additionally, there was only a 10 round.....seasoning? of the bore to this ammo. My first 10 were still good, but the following groups were steadily excellent. (There is something mesmerizing about watching that bullet arc into the same hole as the previous round.) I watched a video on the T1X and the owners inability to get decent 50M grouping and got the impression that he was either cleaning his gun after every group, or shooting 10 of one brand, shooting ten of another, and so on. I know that when I switch from Eley-Primed Aguila Standard Velocity to Federal Ultra Match (rebranded RWS) it takes 20 or 30 rounds to 'settle in' the grouping. That equates to about $8 US spent in ammo to attain optimum grouping. IT was nice to see the SK ammo fall into place for about one US dollar.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve As a side note to the CCI Sub Sonic HP's: I adjusted the trigger on my girl friend's Ruger Precision yesterday and felt obliged to range test it. I used the CCI. At 50M the initial group was 1.5 inches. It took another 40 rounds before the groups settled into being acceptable and I know that switching back to Match ammunition (she likes the Federal/RWS) will require another handful of expensive cartridges. I normally don't clean the bore of a .22 but I might have to, post CCI usage. When we are talking $2/50 round ammo I don't care but when it's $14/50 or $22/50 it stings! Did you get your T1X mounted up? ~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now waiting for a change in weather to see what it can do. First try in awful conditions produced much the same results as factory plastic stock. Noticeable improvement in handling. Have you found the ideal action screw torque setting in an upgraded stock? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Good Morning Steve, KRG stated 65 in/pounds and I used that. Seemed to work. Like you, I don't think I'm getting better accuracy but I know I'm shooting the rifle better. Tried some Geco Semi Auto 22LR yesterday. I was surprised that it grouped under half inch! At least the 10 shots I fired. (50 yards) Seven were in a .342" diameter hole. I guess I need to revisit this inexpensive ammo.~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
