It's pretty damn accurate. I own one, I don't shoot it much because I have not had time but if it has a good fit on you I don't see how it can disappoint.
I have two, a couple friends have two more. All are extremely accurate and easy to shoot. I use mine for local PRS club matches, and for the Border Wars series. I really like mine and feel they are a great way to get started shooting matches. With my reloads they are easy 1/2-3/4 moa, and I have shot them out to 1150yds. I also used them at a Jim See class, and the rifle did not hold me back at all.
Awesome! I was looking at that stock and the Multicam Model that has a more traditional style stock with the heavy cerecoated barrel.
All of ours are HCR models with the Accurate chassis, 3 black and one multicam. I haven’t shot any of the KRG bravo or other models. The multicam one does look sweet, but I went with the black one as I knew it would be all battlescarred from the barricades etc. I really like it, I’m getting 2716fps with my 147 ELD-M and 2760fps 140 ELD-M reloads (24”) and my two are hammers on the steel targets.
I started with an HCR, then traded with a buddy for his Hogue sportier and swapped the barrel for a Criterion prefit, and put it in an MDT ESS. It shoots a little better than the HCR, but I miss the AI mag compatibility. When you shoot out the HCR barrel, consider the Criterion GTG.
Care to share a pic? I tried looking for that buttstock you talk about but my Google results showed nothing definitively...
I had one for a couple years. It was a solid shooter. The chassis left me wanting more. I did not like the short rail with a long barrel. It wasn’t long enough to achieve a balance point on a bag with a 26” suppressed barrel. After chopping the barrel down to 18.5”, the rail length was perfect and the rifle was much more naturally balanced to the center.
Other than that, I thought it was a great rifle if you’re just wanting a basic setup without custom options. Sold mine because bolt guns are not as fun to me compared to gas guns.

One factory HCR in reverse Nightstalker, one built from a Brownells barreled action in brown Nightstalker. Both finished by Brandon at Custom Gun Coating he does fantastic work!
The factory stock doesn’t bother me, but the Nightstalker brown chassis has an aluminum XLR tactical buttstock. My 6mm also has a XLR buttstock for balance.
Dude, so how many of these do you have total lol?
And they're all sick AF too!!!
