KRG BRAVO bipod mounting

[Qwkcrss]

Looking to get a krg bravo.. I still dont understand how I can mount a bipod to it. Cant find any pictures of the rail. Anybody have the setup and have pictures or advice?

What mounting system do you have on your bipod? Sling stud (Harris), picatinny, ARCA/RRS?

I put an ARCA/RRS plate and spigot on the wife's bravo. Her bipod is mounted using the RRS slots machined into the spigot.

Dont have one yet.. what's the best setup for strength/weight savings for the bravo chassis

Atlas Cal2, KRG pic rail

Damn that's a nice setup

It comes with both a sling stud and a pic rail section so you can choose which you want to use.

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks bro!

Do they usually come with the pic rail when you get the stock or is that an extra purchase?

Sling stud included. Polymer pick rail also included but I bought the aluminum

Ha! Sorry didnt even see that.. mostly looked at the picture

I used a KRG Minimalist Spigot mount and a section of alloy Pic rail for my SuperCal. Haven't shot it yet; just had a knee replacement. Looks and feels good, though.

Spigot Mount, pic rail, and a nice Atlas. Balances very well with the heavier barrel. Invest in the mount. Well worth it!

The spigot is better option. It bolts to aluminum backbone, very rigid. Rail or stud on polymer forend will flex, unless they have changed it. The one I was around just bolted to plastic, not what I'd prefer.

Lesson I had to learn. Made me a bit angry!

It's plenty sturdy. More-so than a polymer stock that works for people every single day.


I did a spigot just to move the balance point. I had zero issues using the stud for a Harris.

Ok, the spigot is more sturdier, lol.

The rifle feels much more balanced with the spigot on. Get the minimalist if you’re concerned about weight, I have the standard spigot and don’t think it weighs much at all. It’s like 4 ounces

spigot and mounted direct A.R.M.S. 17S Style. Not necessary but I milled a slot in the spigot for for a better fit and to push the apex as close to the barrel as I could.

The bipod felt too high when mounted to the pic rail below the hand guard.

My two setups, bipod or benchrest plate.

I've been considering an Arca rail that would ride on a benchrest bag or shooting bag ok and accept a bipod, though I like the extended length (pivot) of the Spigot mount.

Nice! Gotta love the Sako Green!

Especially in good lighting.......

Don't do the m-lok mounting on the side, not real sturdy.

Agreed, I just got the MK Machining Magneto Speed mount and using a picatinny rail mounted on the side of the forearm is flexi. Should work, but it's not ideal.

Good info on here, thanks guys. I'm in the process of building a rifle now. Getting a Bergara HMR barreled action off of a buddy (has the HMR Pro bolt in it and barreled action was sent to LRI to get trued and blued). Definitely planning on dropping that barreled action into a KRG Bravo and just doing my recon to figure out all the little details ahead of time so I don't waste time and money trying stuff that people already identified as an issue. I'll definitely be investing in a spigot mount for the bipod
