How did you get that color? The website only lists black.

Black and FDE are standard colors in the KRG Bravo. Think I've even seen Olive Drab Green.
I will post my thoughts
VLD, it's what I do
I'll tell you guys a stock that I personally love and is readily available is the Houge with the aluminum bedding block, I have had a bunch of them, best feeling stock I have held and another one that I just Hot is yhe Choate, I was really surprised at the quality for the price

So, apologies for thread derailment.
If any of you all experience the dreadful feeding problem from the magazines where the cartridge binds up, I know how to fix it. Typically this problem goes like this:
As the bolt moves forward, it strips the round off the mag, and then 3/4 through chambering the case head gets caught up and then one has to pull the bolt back slightly for the cartridge to chamber. PITA!
The tick is to bevel the ejector towards the firing pin hole 25-30 degrees. The ejector can be punched out easily without any further disassembly of the bolt and dragged across a flat file laid on the bench. A few passes is all that's needed. It sounds to easy to be of value, but I have straightened out 3 Savages with this trick. I later came to learn Savage, in earlier years, had their ejectors beveled from the factory!
Pro tip - Use a silver sharpie or in Bean's case, some fingernail polish to mark the side of the ejector where the bevel will face the firing pin hole.

I have one on a Rem 700 SA. Decent stock at a low price point. Solid action / stock lock up with bedding block but that dang rubber coated stock always seems to hang up on my clothing when shouldering it. I'll keep it but currently swapping it out for a stock I just bought on here this morning from a member.
270 WSM is on deck now

Nice rifle. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Elf trigger after you have some time behind it.
