I am going to grab one of the above for my coyote/deer rig. I have chassis’s but they are a bit much on a hunt( walking) will also be used as a back up PRS rifle


Magpul cheapest. I have the 10/22 and 870 set

Krg bravo more but have never seen.

Cadex strike nuke. Highest priced I have seen but never shot.
 
No experience with the Cadex but the Bravo is a real nice stock/chassis, much nicer than the Magpul. I have one with with the arca plate under the forend and the arca spigot, definitely get the spigot, the forend is too short. It's light, about 3.5lbs. I've got an older .308 of mine in there right now that's going to get rebarelled to be my lightweight long range hunter/occasional elr rig.
 
Out of those 3 - KRG Bravo. Best budget chassis available, it definitely punches above it's weight class.

Great ergonomics, great accessory options available (you can "dress it up or down"), great price.

Since you are intending to use this mostly for a hunting rig, I would suggest the magpul hunter.

Nothing wrong with the other stocks except they are "taller", bulkier which is great for precision shooting but may be like the chassis when sneaking around the hills.

Let me know...

I personally have not. However, based on specs, it doesn't offer anything over the KRG Bravo, and it's at a more expensive price point. The KRG definitely seems to be a better value. And to be frank, the Cadex is butt ugly and cheap looking IMO.

I don't see any reason to pick a strike nuke over a KRG Bravo.
 
I think it's important to point out the versatility of the KRG Bravo since you are going to be using it for multiple purposes.

When it's "naked", it's a pretty light chassis, which balances nicely with lighter/shorter barrels - good for your hunting use. If you want to "dress it up" for PRS, you can add weight kits/weighted LOP spacers (PRS rifles are trending to heavier weight), bag rider, NVG rail (some prefer for hand support on barricades), rails for any accessories as you see fit, ARCA rail for bipod & tripod attachments, etc.

The Magpul Hunter more or less "comes as is" - doesn't have all the options of the KRG Bravo. Great for hunting (if the ergos work for you) - not so great for PRS. And while the Cadex is more versatile that say the hunter (more accessories), it has less accessories available than the KRG, and at a higher price point.

Thank you very much for the great reply’s. It’s coming down to the krg or Cadex.

I don’t think they look cheap lol I did handle one and very fit/finish. Barrel channel was perfectly lined up. The under side is Mlok and the only thing I would add to any chassis is a Arca rail for the tripod.
 
Nothing wrong with Magpul hunters, for price they do everything he expensive stuff does, have three in different colour!
 
I have had the magpul and I have the KRG Bravo, the bravo is the most comfortable chassis I own. I have another KRG and a MDT and love the feel of the Bravo. I have it wrapped around a cadex 300 Norma Mag and with a decent brake it performs extremely well.
 
The KRG Bravo is one of the most comfortable chassis around.

It is also probably the most modular of all of the chassis you have listed.

Want a butt hook? That is an option. Spigot mount? You have two KRG options. Arca rails, etc.

KRG all the way.
 
Having ran the Magpul and Bravo back to back I don't regret selling the Magpul. The only thing I preferred on the M was the LOP adjustment - faster to change and greater LOP range. However everything else about the Bravo was better than the Magpul. And that isn't a tabletop review. I shot with both quite a bit both prone and positional. Keep the hunter term in mind when looking at the Magpul. And understand the Bravo is a shooter's chassis. The forend is much stiffer and offers a greater array of mounting options, the cheek riser is infinitely adjustable rather than 4 preset heights requiring swapping parts for the closest fit that the system will give you. A big deal for me is the grip size, angle and trigger finger positioning. The M is sized quite small and with too much angle for my preference. The B is vertical, large and sets my trigger finger inline with the trigger, not above it. Believe the kool-aid lipped fanboys when they tell you it is the most comfortable chassis out there. It's a winner. And if you feel the factory buttstock is a little lacking in adjustment, the TRG folder is available as a bolt on upgrade for the Bravo. Just be sure to order the right one for your chassis. The R700 uses specific grip panels so the TRG folder apparently does not fit. The gen 6 folder is pure tits. I don't miss my $1300 at all.
 
If price isn’t a factor, I’d go with the strike nuke. Cadex recently upgraded my Gen 1 with the newer evo. I haven’t had it out yet but ergonomically it seems pretty close to the old one. It’s super stiff and very well built. Fit and finish is amazing and product support is in our backyard.
My krg bravo is paired with my cz455. I think it may be a somewhat neutered version, scaled down for rim fire. I wasn’t very impressed out of the box for what it cost. Cheaper feeling for sure. Sharp plastic edges and flashing all over. Options are a bit limited for cz rim fire though.
