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.

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.

Mine showed up today. Packaged nicely. First KRG and first dealing with GBT. Impressed by both. Certainly pleased with GBT, you guys are top notch.
First impressions. This stock feels great in the hands, nice quality item, length of pull is super short even with the 3/4" spacer. Ill need another. Picked up a new minimalist spigot and a used harris mount. The .920 bull barrel hits the spigot so thats a no go. Spigot needs a 1/16th skimmed off. Aside from that minor detail Im more then pleased with the fit and feel. Will put some rounds downrange tomorrow.

Just a few quick pics from today. I was a little pressed for time and mounted my scope a little too far forward for shooting off the bench. So I burned up a couple hundred rounds of Eley off the tripod at 50 and 80m for fun. After a quick zero on paper I put most of the rest on a 2" spinner with ease. The chassis is rock solid, no surprise with KRG.
The magwell will be my first modification as it really is a PITA seating mags, especially BX-10s. The Tandemkross double mag bodies are a little nicer but still irritating.

Looks great! What barrel is that?
Shot mine some. Seemed to group a little better. I guess because of the free floated barrel vs the hogue stock. Need to find some of the 597 10 round mags to try with the SBI magwell adapter.

Thanks for sharing everyone. Please ensure your feedback is also passed onto KRG. I know they will be making some changes to the 10/22 based on feedback they have received to date, but they are very receptive to that feedback
