The Bravo Chassis is one of the most comfortable stocks available. The precisely machined bedding area will put your action in its happy place nearly like it was custom bedded in there. The full length stiff aluminum backbone will not allow the forend to flex on you but does allow design modularity with loads of accessories. The ergonomic adjustments are just what you need to fit your frame so you can pull off the difficult shots. It takes AICS mags right out of the box.
It's light. It's comfortable. It's modular. It's good looking.
Tikka Bravo will fit the T3, T3x and CTR versions, however, slight mods may be required on the trigger guard for the T3 TAC A1 to function properly. Tikka rifles accept AICS pattern mags with the exception of the Magpul AICS polymer mags.
