Since this is a Bravo thread...maybe some of you can answer these questions...
I currently have a Tikka CTR in a KRG Bravo setup for AICS magazines. One of the things I never liked is that the AICS mags rock back and forth and wiggle (unlike CTR mags in a factory stock).
Question 1: Do the CTR mags rock/wiggle in the Bravo setup for CTR mags (KRG makes ine now)?
Question 2: If I wanted to put a standard T3x Lite (non-CTR) in a Bravo stock...could I run it in the Bravo setup for CTR mags with CTR mags? Or do I need to get the Bravo setup for AICS mags and run it with AICS mags?
Sorry to drag this up from 2 years ago @PNWGATOR , but how far would you take the 3-9 out to on animals? On deer sized game?No, I haven’t used the 3-9 to 1200 on game. To 1300 on rocks.
Tape on turret is a poor man’s yardage turret that’s calibrated specifically for DA for every hunt and is easy to re do as needed.
This was a cow at 910. Magnification wasn’t an issue. Didn’t need more. I’d imagine deer sized game would be the same at similar distances. That said, I’ve shot no deer sized game beyond 700 yds with it.Sorry to drag this up from 2 years ago @PNWGATOR , but how far would you take the 3-9 out to on animals? On deer sized game?
Awesome, thanks. I’ve got a 2.5-10 NXS on my 6.5 cm and was thinking of replacing it, but based on that it’s going to work just fine!View attachment 702814This was a cow at 910.

Did you use the 130 TMK?View attachment 702814This was a cow at 910. Magnification wasn’t an issue. Didn’t need more. I’d imagine deer sized game would be the same at similar distances. That said, I’ve shot no deer sized game beyond 700 yds with it.
That elk was with a 153 Atip.Did you use the 130 TMK?
I think most would agree that the accuracy international mags are the “best”. However I have several accurate mags and some mdt ones for sa magnums and sa standard cartridges and haven’t had any issues thus far.Hey guys, I’ve bitten the bullet and picked myself up a Bravo for my 6.5. A Rokstock would be been good, but at this stage it seems a bit difficult to get one down here to New Zealand.
Anyway, I want to run metal mags in it- what’s the best choice in brands? Or are they all much of the same? They’re not cheap here, so just want to ‘buy once cry once’
I have used both accurate mags and MDT and they work good. the only kind that wont work is plastic mags only work with most rem 700 actionsHey guys, I’ve bitten the bullet and picked myself up a Bravo for my 6.5.

How much looking into importing one into NZ did you do? Should just be the import paperwork, no?Hey guys, I’ve bitten the bullet and picked myself up a Bravo for my 6.5. A Rokstock would be been good, but at this stage it seems a bit difficult to get one down here to New Zealand.

in my 6.5cm tikka that was in a bravo the 5rd metal mdt mag i had would not feed. I called mdt and they refunded no questions asked which was cool. 10rd and 2 5rd mdt polymer mags i replaced the metal one with fed perfect. Have since used only these 5rd/10rd mdt polymer mags and also 10 rd 223 mdt polymer also in the bravo and 3rd flush mdt polymer in a hnt 26 20 in 6.5 cm without any issues. So i much prefer mdt polymer, I am a sample size of one though.Hey guys, I’ve bitten the bullet and picked myself up a Bravo for my 6.5.

I bought krg branded mags and they have worked fine, haven’t had any problems. 5’s and 10’s.Hey guys, I’ve bitten the bullet and picked myself up a Bravo for my 6.5. A Rokstock would be been good, but at this stage it seems a bit difficult to get one down here to New Zealand.

Any reason you didn't just get UM to ship directly (with the correct NZ paperwork)?@Dobermann turns out getting a Rokstock here is possible, but hideously expensive. I contacted UM who put me onto a supplier in Aussie, but unfortunately by the time the stock made it to me the price tag had gone from $495 USD to about $1300 USD ($2200 NZD). I’m sure it’s a great stock, but that’s a fair bit of extra coin to fork out. I could put that money into a year of personal training to build the muscle to carry the Bravo….
Asked them about it, but they won’t deal direct unfortunately.Any reason you didn't just get UM to ship directly (with the correct NZ paperwork)?
