When you say thermal, do you mean clip on? If so, options are slim.

10/22 chassis with NV bridge
Looking for a decent stock/chassis for my 10/22 that has a top rail or NV bridge available. Ideally something less than 4lbs. Currently have the Bravo and it's just meh. The few I have found are Midwest Industries Jäger Crazy Ivan SB tactical (forearm looks too short to run clip on) Anyone...

That's a tough one as there are a lot of options out there depending on what you really want to do with the rifle. I'm assuming you're using this for hunting since you want to mount lights. Thermal is usually all contained in a scope, or do you mean IR? Or do you want to use one of those clip on thermal scopes that your regular scope looks through? If that's the case you'll want a chassis/stock with a full Pic rail (google "10/22 chassis with handguard". If not pretty much any chassis could be used to mount lights or other accessories to the front with M-Lok or M-Lok to Picatinny conversion attachments.
Next question would be weight. Will you be lugging this around the woods or are you mainly going to be setting up in one spot to hunt pests at home? If you want to lug it around a lot of the precision chassis might be a bit heavy. I have an MDT Oryx that I like, but I wouldn't want to carry it around for hours. The Magpul Hunter X-22 Stock or KRG Bravo could be decent options in that case. Both has M-Lok provisions up front and aren't too heavy.

This might work for you (I don't think it works with the Kidd Supergrade but will with the normal Kidd 10/22): https://kineticresearchgroup.com/product/1022bravo-chassis-rimfire/
Since you pretty much need a full pic rail, I would personally consider the Crazy Ivan chassis. No personal experience with it, but it looks solid, has great features, and seems well built.

Agreed unless you have a Kidd Rear Tang installed. That's one of the reasons I went with the Oryx. The rear pinch system secures the action well. Also why I recommended looking at the Crazy Ivan chassis to @RTH1800. It has a rear set screw to secure the back of the action.
I guess there is always the option of running a night vision bridge on another chassis, but I don't think the KRG Bravo has enough m-lok slots to get the rail far enough back for the clip on unit.
The KRG night vision bridge is reversible so you will have plenty of room. You can't run any m-lock night vision hood on any chassis because all the widths are different. The stars would have to align for it to work out
Oh, I didn't realize they made one that would fit the Bravo. But looks like they updated it a while back with the bolt holes on top for mounting one

Looks like an excellent option in that case.
That's a great chassis but I've never seen one with a Night Vision Bridge like the OP is looking for.
