THis is interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say a bravo is better than a manners. I have both and sure the bravo is great, but saying it’s “better” than a PRS1...Cmon now. Would like to hear your reasoning.
Both are very comfortable. The palm swell on the PRS1 is slightly larger and I have 3XL sized hands, so that's appreciated, but the palm swell on the Bravo is quite nice as well. Both have a nice thumb shelf. Neither requires bedding. Both have integrated barricade stops (Bravo as part of the chassis, PRS1 as part of the bottom metal).
The PRS1 is stunningly good looking, that's its major advantage.
The Bravo came with a LOT of accessories. It came with LOP spacers and the screws for each, QD cups, two sling studs, and a small picatinny rail. The bottom of the fore-end is slotted for MLOK and has numerous other hole for mounting shit. The sides of the fore-end are also MLOK slotted for lights, weights, a QD mount, or whatever else you feel like adding. By comparison, the PRS1 comes with a single sling stud up near the front of the fore-end and that's it. My Atlas is a pic-rail mount and I had to order up a rail mounting fastener set (

There's a compartment inside the grip of the Bravo for keeping tools or whatnot. The back-end comes out of the box with a ramped underside but for literally $10 you can buy a different cover that turns that area into a hook-style underside if that's what you prefer. The Bravo is stiffer, hands down. Because the barreled action sits in a full-length aluminum backbone/chassis, you get far less side to side bending/movement of the stock relative to the barrel then you do using the same pressure on the PRS1. And I'm not saying that the PRS1 is floppy or weak; it's not. It's just that the Bravo is noticeably stiffer. I also happen to like the tool-less cheek piece adjustment on the Bravo (PRS1 requires an allen key). Makes it easier for someone to try my rifle and get a good sight picture.
Overall, the Bravo just gives you more choices and comes with more accessories. Does it look as good? No, it doesn't, but that's where the disadvantages end. When my rifle got here. I realized I had to order up the pic rail mounting kit, then mount up the bipod. If I ever decide to go arca-rail, I'm going to have to order up more fasteners, whip out the drill again, and my OCD hopes that I can reuse the two holes currently in the bottom of the PRS1. The same operation on the Bravo is nothing more than ordering up an arca rail and bolting it on.
When the Bravo got here, it took my 11 year old son and I (it's his rifle) more time to read the instructions than it did to remove the barreled action from the OEM stock and transfer everything over to the Bravo. Took us maybe 5 minutes to play with spacers to set his LOP and we were done.
Am I going to sell the PRS1 and get a Bravo for my rifle? No. I have the PRS1 set up the way I want it right now and as such it gets the job done. If both systems were exactly the same price, I would pick the Bravo every single time. But The fact that I can get almost 4 Bravos for the price of the PRS1 is a tub of chocolate icing on the cake.
