Renegade or Bravo

[TheBigCountry]

For budget minded builds, the Renegade and Bravo come to mind at under $400 each.

Between the two, which one would you run, and why? Bravo with its drop in and go or a Renegade plus DBM and bedding?

I find it incredibly hard to beat the Bravo!

I loved the ergos of the Bravo but had a few issues with it.

The safety on the Trigger Tech Diamond hit and wouldn't engage and the plastic mag catch/release is pretty janky.

I'd prefer a Gaybo Renegade with a metal dbm and adjustable cheek piece.

Neither of my mag catches are plastic on my two bravos.

+1 for bravo

I like both of them but think I will probably go with the bravo for any future purchases... But both are solid options at good price points.

looks like I might have done a late night order, half asleep, of another bravo in the past few days. so i guess even subconsciously I prefer the bravo.

Shoulda said the housing.

Shoulda said the housing.

you can get aluminum housing from KRG

 

[Dai Bando]

Did not know that. Thanks

You do not need to bed an action in a Grayboe stock. I have several and none are bedded. Maybe they would shoot better bedded. It would be hard to believe.

+1 bravo

 

[JeffLebowski]

Bravo.

From my experience the Renegade is not bad, but the KRG Bravo is a lot better.

I had this same dilemma for a long action. The Bravo is quite a bit more in long action though. I went with a grayboe. *Coming soon*

Seeing a lot of suggestions, no answers as to why you went the route you did. I’m trying to decide between the two now also. Thanks

for my statement on going with bravo... Priced roughly the same but don't have to buy DBM and has built in adjust-ability and a modular attachment system.

 

[DrainTheSwamp]

Adjustable cheek riser would be nice. Anyone running a barricade stop system on the bravo? I was leaning towards a renegade with area 419 arcalock rail. I ll have to call around and see how the arcalock fits the bravo.

Bravo hands down. It offers much more and can be upgraded. It would be a tougher choice had you said Ridgeback Vs. Bravo, but the Bravo is still a better value IMHO.

 

[Joshf303]

Bravo hands down.....

I own both and I prefer the grayboe renegade with DBM to the bravo. Bravo saves a little weight, but the renegade is designed better. I've had issues seating mags into the magwell of the bravo. never seen such an issue with grayboe.

 

[TanktheFrank]

Handled both, went with grayboe on a long and short action. I liked the profile of the bravo, but it didn't "feel right" to me. I may be close to selling the s/a renegade to get the xray though.

Bravo, but it would be nice if the forend was another 3 or 4 inches longer. It's rather short compared to a Manners or McMillan stock.
