Stock conundrum

[FrozenMinnesotan]

I have a bergara ridge sp in 223. Shoots great with factory stock but I prefer vertical grips and honestly, the look of chassis or aftermarket stocks.

I'm torn between a krg bravo and a ag composites armor.

My only concern is feeding from aics. I had a newer remington 700 that the mags from krg wouldn't feed last few rounds. they'd nose dive.

So what would you do?
Option 1: get a bravo and mag with extended latch and hope for the best while trying different mags

Option 2: buy the ag composites fiberglass stock without cheek riser and bdl and know it will feed but have to load from top all the time

Theyre roughly the same price and I only use it coyote hunting and off a bench out to 600 yards. No matches that require a mag.

Id also note that even with a mag I single load often, maybe that's because the one I had didn't feed lol

Krg bravo.

Mag wells are adjustable. From what it sounds like you may have allowed the mag to sit too far forward and the tip of the bullet catching the bottom of the action and diving. There is a mod to the 700s for that but you should just be able to adjust the mag seating back a hair. I've owned quite a few krgs and they all fed fine.

KRG Bravo and Accurate mags

I only have experience with the KRG bravo. I have no regrets.

I had the krg mags made by accurate mag though

Krg

I haven't had good luck with metal accurate mags in 223 or 223ai. The polymer MDT ones run like a top in both of those calibers and 300blk.

The metals have been more finicky to the mag latch whereas the polymers just run. If you are loading the 223 and running 80gr bullets or longer then you sometimes have to open up the metal accurate mags so the nose doesn't clip the internal shell they put in the mag body. Again, vote to the MDT polymer mags.

Have two KRGs currently and about to build out a third. MDT mags have been perfect in them.

I would say bravo also. Always seemed to be enough adjustment in it to make the mags works. I did have to get the adjustable mag latch when I used it with a bergara 22lr was all. Maybe you could adjust the feed lips on the mag also.

 

[FrozenMinnesotan]

Krg it is. Thanks for the recommendations

KRG with accurate mags is a hard combo to beat, I ran it for a while till my manners TCS was ready to ship

223 or 308 based? The 223 mags have a plastic liner

 

[King_beardsly]

223 based, I like them because you can open them up to load long with heavy bullets to not take up care capacity and if you ever need to replace the liner due to wearing out the feed lips out.
