This is going to be my Texas night hunting rig, and I want a forward top rail for night vision in front of the day scope.
Any stocks or chassis that aren't 800 bucks for something like this? Being able to take a detach mag as well. |

I really like my KRG Bravo. Here's my Howa 1500 in 6.5CM.
They do offer a forward railed for end. Base price for just the chassis was close to $500 shipped for the howas though. You'll also need aics mags. That being said, I'd buy it again. |

MPA makes chassis's for the Howa...They will be 7 bills plus, depending on options... but you won't find better quality or innovation...including NV rail stock...they also make a 2.5 pound chassis...

Be careful with MDT and Howa, their chassis won't work with polymer mags like the Magpul AICS. I have multiple of those mags.
I went with KRG and love it. |

Brownells also makes a chassis for the Howa. I have a HCR in 243. Shoots awesome with 87gr VMax!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mchgnxj24: What’s the best way to make the metal mags run? File the mag, or file the ledge on the receiver? I was able to jump on an ESS during Black friday(hasn’t shipped yet) and can’t wait to get it put together. I also grabbed four of the ten round metal mags and two polymer... just in case I couldn’t get the metal to run. The prices were nothing short of awesome. |
