Rokstok vs KRG Bravo

[Ryan Avery]

I’d be curious to hear if anyone has used a Bravo in a Shoot2hunt class and what their thoughts are. @Ryan Avery @Formidilosus

There are several in this video.

It's a shame it's a full pound heavier than a Rokstok as far as I can tell.

Oh I didn’t say that it was the best field stock- just the best chassis for it.

I may be completely misremembering but I recall the Tikka in the Bravo stock having more issues working with snow/ice than the other one in the ice testing. Is that because there are more openings for water to get into compared to other Tikka stocks?

Yes to all. However, the difference while real, is comparatively small when weighed against what other actions/triggers do.

That also makes me nervous. I'm putting together a 18" barreled Tikka 6CM with a TBAC Ultra-7 on the end of it and a SWFA 3-15 scope. Not sure if I'd have enough on the front end to balance a Bravo out. Though maybe it'll help that I'll have a Ckye pod on the end of it.

That will be fine in a Bravo.

Tikka in a bravo. Is aics the preferable magazine?

Bipod makes a big difference, especially on a spigot where it should be on a bravo to not interfere with using the forearm as a rest. Might still be ass heavy if you have a light contour barrel. I've had my 18" tikka lite 223 in one until just recently. gen 1 ultra 7, LRTS scope, and I'm pretty sure with a harris short bipod attached to pic rail section on front of forearm (no spigot) it didn't balance on anything in front of the mag well.

It was fine but i like how the same setup balances in a rokstok better.

I think I'm just going to wait and order a Rokstok when they hopefully allow more orders in June. The rest of the build won't be ready until May anyway and the stock isn't horribly urgent. As long as I can open up the factory stock enough to accept a 0.75" taperless contour.
