Building Rem-Age, need stock help !

[Slick001]

I've searched and can't find anyone on here that has posted about the new KRG Bravo stock not being released until late November. Need opinions please!

Poured about all my funds in a Remage build in 6.5 creedmoor, trued and all stainless, about to order a really nice scope, now, what to do about stock?? trying to dip my feet into long range shooting and would love to see .5 to .25 accuracy out of this if I can do my part.

KRG makes nice expensive chassis stocks that are supposed to be awesome, but not really my thing on looks.

I like the look of Bell Carlson Medalist, H&S , or Mcmillans. Progressively more expensive.

KRG is releasing this low cost BRAVO model , that I could live with the looks for 349 with Aics mag system and adjustable LOP and cheeck weld.

You think if properly bedded this stock will squeeze out the same accuracy as the BC and HS?

Are you looking for a savage

 

[Slick001]

No , Remington

"If properly bedded", IMHO it all comes down to how well the shooter can drive the gun with that particular stock configuration. The only factor I would be concerned about would be flex in the stock, and I'm assuming a $300+ stock does not flex significantly.
<.5MOA is not too much to ask for from what you are building. I haven't built a single Savage or Remage that doesn't beat that handily -- and I didn't true the Remingtons.

No , Remington

I have an hs precision psv-096 with double swells. I just took it off my .260 target gun. Two front studs, opened to accept m24/m40 size barrel. Not bedded but It is used, in good shape and just lying around. if you're interested shoot me a pm.

I don't know about the krg but shoot with two guys running the magpro hunter. They are pretty happy with them considering value and ease of use.

I just built my first rifle, 6.5 Creed Remage, 24 inch light varmint barrel. Added a NightForce SHV 5-20, as i was building i got a deal on a MagPul Remington 700 hunter stock. The rifle still needs to be bedded, but i can consistently shoot .75 to .5 moa groups both at 100 and 200. This weekend my first time taking it to extended ranges it shot a .65 group at 500 with Hornady ELD-X 143 gr. Better shooters than me have pulled sub .25 inch groups a couple of times with it also. Just my 2 cents from someone with a Remage 6.5

So, pretty much there is no "plug and play" your going to have to still properly bed in any of the above models...
That's fine , I want to do this right!

Thanks for the offer, I wish there was a place around here I could put my hands on more custom stocks to see which ones feels right for me.

I was looking at the magpul too and is what got this whole Rem-Age build started for me!
Also, the Hornady ELD-X 143 was going to be the first bullets I load to try! Should make a dual purpose hunting and target bullet!

I believe the Bravo has the same chassis as their X-ray system. I used one this past match season and was really happy with it, easily shot 1/4-1/2" groups with a Criterion remage barrel. The X-rays are $500ish so not too expensive. I really want to try a Bravo tho, look like a great option for the price!

Saving my $$$ for one of these...IF only I had never picked one up.

For what they are this is a very good stock, I have them and the M40's on several rifles.
