I’ve seen the barrel tape just in front of stock in several of your photos.
What is the purpose?

I assume your sticks are always out and in hand? Or you’re starting with them in the pack? Mine usually ride in my pack, but I’ll play with em next time I shoot.Correct.
Positions such as below are very stable, take about 10-15 seconds to establish when practiced, the rifle can cant, swivel, and angle as needed; and it allows the rifle to recoil smoothly straight back.

Without a sling on the rifle it seems you’d have a tough time using 2 hiking sticks?
I just watched the video. Serious question, what purpose does having his scope mounted so high accomplishing? It appears that the bell has .5 to .75 inch clearance to the barrel. I have seen several examples of this from people posting pics of their guns, they all require a cheek riser to work. What is the purpose of having the scope mounted so high?
Rifle is usually in a gun bearer or SG version. Sticks usually being used. However, it’s take about 6-7 seconds to pull
I don't know a lot about trekking poles but my cheap set doesn't seem conducive for a fast rifles rest set up. If you extend them too far they come apart and have 3 sections. Are there sticks better suited for quick deployment?Rifle is usually in a gun bearer or SG version. Sticks usually being used.

What are your thought on a folding stock for a bolt gun? Worth the squeeze if strapped to your pack and getting to hunting area? Or just a potential failure point? They’re nice for hiking to shooting spots or field matches, but not sure if they’re a hindrance or benefit for hunting.Rifle is usually in a gun bearer or SG version. Sticks usually being used.

I like the look of that a lot. What bolt handle are you using?View attachment 346667
I like mine…a lot.

No, I haven’t used the 3-9 to 1200 on game.
Hi Form, I think not too long ago, you mentioned you were swapping back from the Bravo to the Tikka factory stock ... has that changed, or was that for specific applications?PNW answered, but he does indeed carry that everywhere. A bunch of people use the Bravo for hunting, and most of the rifles with those I hunt with that recoil more than a 223 have the Bravo’s on them-
Benefits-
- Design: Vertical grip, adjustable buttpad negative drop at heel, parallel forend, near parallel underside of buttstock, adj cheek piece
- Stability with chassis, no need to bed. Bedding doesn’t break, crumble, or fail
- Plastic skins, I.E.- no exposed metal in the cold
In a rifle with more than about 10’ish ft-lbs of recoil (say 6.5CM), it makes the rifles significantly more shootable. They recoil less due to weight and track better in recoil due to design, the ergonomics are better than a full pistol grip for general field use, and they can be about a pound heavier than most aftermarket stocks. A T3 lite in the KRG with a 20oz scope ends up being around 9lbs, which for a longer range rifle is a good place to be.

T3X factory stock - 28-30 oz (1.8 lbs)What is the weight of a t3x factory stock vs a KRG Bravo?
