No, but I might do it and add a shim to the rear, the bolt (firing pin cocking indicator) hits the stock.
Has anyone ever switched to a Bravo stock for a CTR and ended up preferring the factory CTR stock
No.
Infinitely more adjustability with the bravo. Can set it up to whatever your style of shooting is.
The Bravo is great for the money, but I can see people being disappointed with it. The forend matchup, forend deformation when you bolt an ARCA rail to it, and flexible cheek riser bothered me.
You cannot answer a question like this IMHO without a discussion about supply/demand and the build purpose. In general, 16 inch bolt guns seem to trade for less than 20inch barrels. Don't ask me why, but that seem to be the case in the px. I think lowlight mentioned this, usually 18inch is a better for re-sale, again for whatever reasons.
jaoutdoors sells various tikka actions. at a min you should be able to get a price close to that.
I have a bravo on my 700 but stuck with the factory CTR stock which is more than serviceable.
Gave my Tikka a makeover for the 2023 PRS season. Osprey 1.20" straight barrel chambered by PVA in .308win. Took 2 sighters that were pretty much dead on, then shot these two groups with leftover ammo from last season that I loaded for my other barrel. Not too shabby. Time to load up some Atips.
So today was supposed to be a happy day with my CTR putting it in a KRG Bravo and then swapping out the APA brake for an EC tuner brake, then hitting the range. I got the KRG Bravo that works with AICS mags on there, and life has taught me to test cycle some rounds before considering the job complete. As I was doing that, I noticed my rounds were nose diving into the action and not even hitting the feed lips. I'm wondering if I somehow screwed up mounting the rifle or what. I'm sure it's something I did since it seems like the entire internet has had good luck with a t3X CTR. All the AI pattern mags I've tried are actual AI mags. Two of them came with the stock and one is a mag that I've had for years that's never given me a hiccup.
I should also mention I looked at the KRG instructions and they said to remove a spring clip for the tikkas and unless I'm blind, I don't have one of those.

AFAIK Spring clips are only on T3/x without CTR bottom metal and Mags.
Might want to call KRG tomorrow. I ordered a Bravo for my CTR but I’m going to use the CTR magazine.
I' not a pro shooter or a real long range guy, but since the CTR version of a Bravo costs the same as the AICS version, and the CTR mag allows way more OAL and seating into the lands, the reason for a Tikka CTR in a AICS mag stock is?
Unless things have changed in the last couple years, the CTR and Binderless AICS mags allow for similar COAL. I can get 2.96" with MDT binderless AICS mags, which also work in my other non-tikka chassis rifles.
Make sure the recoil lug is properly seated in the action, and the action is all the way down in the stock.
Check the feed lips on all of the magazines, make sure they are evenly spaced and similar to one another.
And on top of that, Wes is a great guy. Super helpful and very fast shipping in my experience. All the thumbs up for JAOutdoors.
What scope for my 308 24” CTR? Just use it for whacking steel, non competition.
A fixed 6 or fixed 10 like a SWFA or ??

How far is the steel?
I rarely get a chance to shoot at more than 300 meters, so could probably live with a fixed 6. I recently got a second hand fixed 10 S&B, but don't have a rifle for it yet.
Did you bought AICS magazine chassis, or is it the CTR version.
If it is CTR, AICS mags wont work on that.
ALSO check carefully, is the action right on the chassis, because the floating fron receiver bolt inside the chassis, it is bit pita to mount it correct.
And if it is not well mounted, it will give nose divers.
I use only MDT magazines, had no issues, unlike i did when used accurate magazines.
I have had a 223, 260, 6,5cm and 308.

I've used MTD mags (with a little sanding to fit the sides) in a CTR with no problems on the CTR bottom metal.
Never tried them on a CTR in a Bravo because my CTR Bravos use CTR mags.

20" 223 CTR, MDT mags, KRG Bravo, Bushy MP. Still haven't shot it 
Quick question on Tikka CTR fit in the Bravo chassis.
I installed barreled action, seated it on recoil lug and torqued action screws to 65 lbs. Are y’all seeing a similar gap between the barrel and chassis fore end?

I don’t think you have it hitting the recoil lug properly. It can take some try’s to get the lug engaged in the action.
My buddy just put his Super Varmint in a chassis. He's not on here but what exactly are you looking for?
It took me a couple tries to get it to the position it’s at now. I was very careful in my approach seating it on the lug and applying torque to the screws. Maybe it’s just me being OCD.
Remove the bolt and check position of action screws with a torch into the action and rear easily visible. If these screws are not engaging almost to the top I would be very careful with 65inlb. It is only a wobbly M6 thread. I'd be running max 55inlb. Roughly 6nm.
If the front screw is way low it could mean lug is not engaged.

In this case, torch = flashlight. I would not recommend checking with a blowtorch or flame.

Haha yep first glance I was like “do what?!”, then realized across the pond they call it a torch.
The bravo seems to sit up kinda high visually. But it’s an excellent chassis!
I have two of the MT CTR inlet for AICS mags and the CTR mags feed smoother to me. I used them for an NRL match, they are shorter and don't get in the way.
