Oryx or KRG Bravo

[AndrewZ1797]

Good evening all

Im in the market for a stock upgrade. I have a Tikka T3X CTR 24" in 6.5CM. I'm not a fan of the factory stock. Im looking at either the Oryx or the KRG Bravo. But Im open for suggestions on other stocks as well. $750 is the max I'm willing to send.

Thank you. I value everyone's opinion

Gonna get a lot of replies, if you can try both, then make ypur choice. I personally like the Bravo, ergonomics for me.

 

[AndrewZ1797]

Thanks for the heads up. I wish the Bravo had easier LOP adjustment

Of the 2 my pick would be the Bravo. You may be able to find someone who bought a Tac-A1 that decided the chassis wasn't for them. Not sure what the going rate would be though.

With that kinda money you can afford a bravo and their new quick adjust LOP kit. Just get that, it’ll be way more versatile than the oryx

 

[Jabot]

Probably find a mpa used for that price

 

[levi8599]

Agreed a used mpa will go for 7-750 all the time

You should probably get behind the stocks / chassis you’re looking at before lighting that cash aflame. You may get behind it & decide “This stock / chassis isn’t for me.” Look for a match, gun shop, range or whatever before dropping coin. This may save you some money & a lot of headaches.

KRG all the way.

Great hide supporter and had been here for years using input from SH folks to develop several generations of great chassis.

I have an early one on my Tikka and love it!

KRG. Fantastic company.

 

[Cleanmiss]

Yup I agree with them! KRG! just got to shoot my tikka in my new bravo and it's a huge improvement over the the ctr stock. Their logo mags are pretty sweet too especially compared to the older plastic tikka mags I had.

 

[DMP]

Bravo for me too.

 

[Wags]

I hope they expand the Bravo line to include more lefties.

I would ask what physical size you are, and let that somewhat drive your decision. I currently have both in my hands (the Oryx is on a buddy's mini Howa action), and the big difference to me is size. The Oryx seems better suited to those of a smaller stature, though I don't mean to imply that it is small or shorter. It just feels much more...trim or slender.

The Bravo (conversely) seems to fill the hand/shoulder, but without all the weight of some chassis systems.

Both have accessories and such (ARCA rails, bag riders, adjustable buttpads, etc), with an edge to the Bravo (which makes sense, since KRG has been around for a LONG time comparatively).

Both are solid chassis systems, so as I said, I'd let your size drive the decision. If you're a moderately big guy, definitely go with the Bravo. If you a medium to small guy, an Oryx may fit/suit you better.

You're in a good spot, in that there are at least two good options to choose from, for a low cost chassis. It was not always the case, so it's good times right now for new LR shooters... (when I got back into this game, it was Mcree or XLR, and that was it).

Or mix those two options and end up on the hybrid: mdt xrs for 500.

Edit: crap. Says the tikka inlet will be released at the end of June, not sure how covid would impact that
