It has a shorter stock. I believe it comes with a spacer that can increase LOP to match the standard model.

Mine came with 4 spacers two were installed on the gun the other 2 were in the package. Mine ended up in a KRG Bravo anyways.

What is the weight like with the Krg Bravo versus the Tikka standard stock?

The Bravo is about 10 15 ounces heavier.

The Bravo is about 10 ounces heavier.

Do you really notice a difference? Im kinda looking to change my Roughtech 308 a bit. I cut my barrel to 18 and was looking for a shorter LOP.

I don’t, but I don’t hunt with it, I just use it to shoot steel in my backyard.

I'm getting around 2610 with factory 143 eldx. Barrel was cut to 20" and shot with a can.

Stainless barrel? I’ve heard those run a little faster.

This guy did a video showing what he could accomplish with a 6.5 Creedmoor cut down to 16". I cut mine to 16.25" but haven't chronographed it yet. I'll try to remember to share my results when I do.

I'll have to check my notes but I remember my chromoly barrel not losing as much as I thought. 6.5cm cut to 20" and only lost about 18 fps per inch I think.

 

[JGRaider]

I lost around 25ft per inch going from a 24" to 18. Don't regret it at all.

My compact came with a extra piece of stock and recoil pad attached to it

 

[dailyherold]

Didn't chronograph prior, but cut my stainless 6.5 to 18" and averaged 2478 over 8 shots with ELD-M 147gr. Barrel had ~60 through it prior to this string.

Does the compact just have a shorter barrel or a shorter stock?

The Bravo is about 10 ounces heavier.

Am I understanding right that a Bravo for a Tikka is only 10 ounces heavier than the factory compact stock? Thanks.

Sorry I was going off of memory and I’m old.

Looks like it’s closer to 14-15 ounces.

KRG with one stock spacer.
