Howa Chassis Stock KRG Bravo Short Action – Flat Dark Earth

Howa Chassis Stock KRG Bravo Short Action – Flat Dark Earth

The KRG (Kinetic Research Group) Bravo provides you with the essential chassis benefits combined with conventional target/varmint ergonomics, all at a modest price. Bravo is exactly what you need if you’re looking for your perfect balance in Howa 1500 Chassis.

The Bravo is one of the most comfortable stocks available, but that’s just the beginning. The price will make you and your wallet overjoyed.

The precisely machined bedding area will put your action in its happy place, nearly like it was custom bedded in there. The full-length stiff aluminium backbone will not allow the forend to flex on you but does allow design modularity with loads of accessories and even other KRG chassis. The ergonomic adjustments are just what you need to fit your frame so you can pull off the difficult shots. Of course, it takes AICS mags right out of the box.

Bravo chassis now come with a polymer mag release button and still comes with the 1-3 LOP spacer kit, which allows LOP up to 14″ approx, more spacers are available for longer LOP. It’s light. It’s comfortable. It’s modular. It’s good-looking. You will love it.

Features:

Bravo Chassis Forend

• Polymer for light weight and to eliminate heat transfer to/from the shooter’s hand
• Mounting holes at various positions will take L2 Picatinny rails, Tripod Mount, Barrier stop, etc
• Mlok slots in the sides and bottom of the forend for universal accessories mounting
• Access hole for action mounting screw, so you can remove the action without removing the forend.

“Backbone”

• Full-length aluminium backbone from the action to the tip of the forend
• Radius bedding system, which is CNC’d into aluminium for consistent contact between action and chassis
• Accepts the Whiskey-3 gen 3+ Spigot Mount
• Designed for 5 AICS magazines
• Barrel contours accepted: 1.25″ for 4″ in front of action face, then 1.20″ straight to end of forend. A 1.25″ straight cylinder barrel will fit, but we feel that the clearance is too minimal. We recommend using no larger than a varmint contour to keep a proper balance.

Trigger Guard/Mag catch

• Moulded lightweight trigger guard
• Mag catch extender button included (polymer version), and you can upgrade to an aluminium one.

Cheekpiece

• Infinitely adjustable within range (~1” travel)
• It can be quickly removed and re-installed and uses a clamp and thumbscrew design
• Made of polymer to limit heat transfer to or away from your face

Length of Pull (LOP)

• Adjustable with spacers in 3/8″ increments with nearly 2 1/4” of adjustment range
• LOP range varies slightly between versions but is roughly 12.8” to 15” (technically, even longer is possible with even more spacers)
• Bravo’s include a LOP kit, allowing a max LOP of about 14″

Buttstock

• A very strong reinforced polymer material
• Mounting points for external QD cup
• Built-in thumb shelf for same-side-thumb-grip shooters
• It can be configured with a continuous angled lower surface or a “butthook” configuration.

• Recoil Pad
• Premium KRG-designed pad that is light, durable, and comfortable to shoot
