Thanx guys for the replies.

Thats going to be sweet!

I scored the black one GBT listed and went and bought a new VLEH target tactical and now a used kidd single stage to drop in it. Super excited.

I wanted a VLEH and a Kidd trigger. Couldn't find a VLEH.
Settled on the Target light.

Handled that version. Super nice and threaded too. Does it shoot? Looks to be the same version krg put in their stock for the product oics. Looks good.

Well I'm trying to upload photos but both photobucket and imgur are a no go. Any other ideas? I'm on mobile only.

Imgur worked for me. Give it another go?

Imgur use the BBCode and picture will show. No link to click

The screen I get is different (Android OS) and my options are to simply copy the url. If you hit reply with quote on my post (#44) you can see I've pasted the url they give into the IMG code but it is not displaying the image for some reason. I purchased a team membership and will upload that way once I'm up and running with that.

Alright, things appear to be working here. So a few things to note. I've installed the toolless buttpad adjuster, KRG rubber recoil pad, an extra LOP spacer and the butt hook insert from my R700 Bravo buttstock. None of these are included with the 10/22 Bravo.

What you get out of the box is a .750" spacer and the screws to install it with the thin plastic buttpad that I forgot to get pics of. Unless you are setting the rifle up for a kid then atleast grab some extra spacers and preferably a rubber pad for better purchase. I wish KRG hadn't gone with such a short LOP but once their toolless LOP adjuster comes out it will be a non-issue.

The fullsize Bravo parts fit with the exception of the supplied screws for the .750" spacer are too short for use with the rubber pad.

The magwell is an area that needs improvement. Although it has a nice flare to it, it has a gap between the plastic forend and aluminum chassis that causes mags to hang up if not inserted perfectly straight. I'll be filling this area with epoxy to make a smooth transition. I hope KRG will fix this issue as it will be a major achilles heel of this stock especially for those shooting timed matches. Magazines do insert smoothly if inserted straight and drop free no problem.

As for the rest it is very similar to the centerfire Bravo with the exception of the 1 piece stock and shorter butt. There are less accessories included in the box, most likely to keep pricing as low as possible. My R700 Bravo included 3 LOP spacers, a short pic rail, a standard sling swivel for the forend and a QD swivel socket for the rear. The 10/22 Bravo only includes a single .750" spacer and standard swivel. It did however come with a nice book of targets. I'll get some pictures of them when I get to the range.

Overall I'm liking it so far. I just noticed I didn't get pictures of the rear of the aluminum chassis as this will be of interest to some. The chassis extends all the way to the pistol grip and is milled for a rear tang. The rearmost bolt attaching the chassis to the stock will be used with the tang. If I'm not mistaken this is for the Kidd tang. I'm not familiar with all the options for 10/22 receiver tangs so I'm not sure if it's a few proprietary offerings or a standardized thing.

I apologize for the crappy pics, the lighting wasn't great. I'll get some better ones at the range and update once I've shot the rifle some.

Thanks for the info.
I will see about 3d printing a spacer to epoxy in the magwell.
