    Those of you with them how do you like it? Any issues? Any reason to get the aluminum vs the polymer (asking because I'll be ordering 3, so is it worth an extra $90 ish dollars)?
     
    I have zero complaints about the plastic one on mine, best 30 buck upgrade you can make to the bravo. Im not trying to make it heavier on a coyote rifle but if it were going to be more for range or comp use then I would go for the heavier one.

    I can sneeze 90 bucks away so quick its a small drop in the bucket.
     
    What direction are most of you guys adjusting the adjustable pad? I am 6'2 with a long neck and feel this would be awesome for me as I always find myself with the bottom of the butt pad at the top of my shoulder pocket. So I would be moving the adjustment upwards above the cheekpiece.

    Related to this what else are must have or really nice to have add-ons for the KRG Bravo?
    The minimalist spigot was a nice upgrade. It moved the bipod forward and lowered the center of gravity making it more stable. Thinking about the adjustable butt and bag rider next.

    Yes it is, I got the minimalist spigot after I bought the chassis, and it does make more stable. I did get the Hook cover over the bag rider. It lets me hold on and support the back better with the Armageddon Gear X bag that I use.

    The next upgrade is going to be the Tool-less Buttpad Height Mechanism, but I was not sure if the polymer version would hold up with hunting, so it is good to know that it does.

    I got the hook but not totally sold on it as my bag rides just on the edge but more behind it. Since the stock is angled toward it, after several shots my bag ends up moving forward into the hook. I even bought a new bag but it does the same.

    I use the X-Wing Rear Bag with the hook style chassis. I palm it and push it into the hook for support and to lock it to my shoulder. For regular chassis/stock or with bag riders, I use the Squishy Rear Bag.

    Phillip Velayo dose a video on it called "Building a Bridge". In part 2 he dose with a small bag what I do with the hook and a small bag.

    Weights.
    I have the internal t-slot weight and run 3 of the Snyder Precision buttstock weights (6’2” long arms so ~14” LOP) and a pair of the MDT m-lok weights (until I spin on a heavier barrel). Changes the whole feel of the chassis for the better IMO.

    good info on the minimalist spigot, was on my radar for next purchase

    the adjustable recoil plate, i like mine, and while it cants by pivoting, I was sort of hoping the recoil pad would slide left/ right to get pad into pocket, but let my eye line up better with scope
