New: KRG Whiskey-3 Gen 6 Competition Chassis -The Firearm Blog

Kinetic Research Group, or KRG for short, have a new Whiskey-3 Competition chassis available for the Remington 700 Short Action.

This is KRG’s flagship chassis and features their Aluminum ARCA Forend, ARCA Spigot mount and a tool-less adjustable fixed Whiskey-3 backend.

ARCA Rail

As someone who just ARCA:fied his two PRS rifles and put on straight pistol grips, I can relate to the use and benefit of this attachment system in PRS-style shooting rather than Picatinny and similar solutions.

Below is the description from KRG:

Does your passion lie in PRS style long range competition? If so then we have the perfect starting point for your next match winning machine

We call it the Whiskey-3 Comp and it’s a derivative of our Whiskey-3 Chassis.

It’s a fixed stock version that features an installed aluminum Arca Forend plus our Arca Spigot. Add the weights and bag rider of your choice and you are set.

The W3C combines precise aluminum bedding with tool-less adjustments, durability, and excellent ergonomics. Right out of the box it allows the use of AICS style magazines (not included) in your rifle without any special bottom metal.

Numerous types of accessories can be added to the many attachment points, including handstops, sling mounts, rails, bipods, monopods, and more.

Our modular grip panels allow the shooter to tailor the fit of the stock to his/her hand which, combined with the other adjustments, yield a stock set up exactly as it needs to be for that particular shooter.

And we continue with a long description of the specification:

“Backbone”/Chassis:

Utilizes radius bedding, which is CNC’d into aluminum backbone for consistent contact between action and chassis.
Rem 700 version can accommodate most large aftermarket recoil lugs like the Badger Ordnance lug without any or with only slight modification.
Designed for 5 or 10 round AICS magazines (with or without front spacer plate in T3, with spacer plate only in Rem 700 unless you have a modified action)
Barrel contours accepted: A 1.25″ straight cylinder barrel will fit but we feel that the clearance is marginal. We recommend using no larger than a varmint contour to keep proper balance.

Trigger Guard/Mag catch:

Made of reinforced polymer.
Rem 700 version will accept most aftermarket triggers but some aftermarket triggers may require modifications to the trigger or chassis.
Mag catch is our low profile version which reduces snags while still providing excellent ergonomics and control.

Magazines Used:

Remington 700 short action and Tikka T3 use AICS .308 mag in either 5 or 10 rd capacity. Accuracy International part numbers 3901 and 3902 respectively.
Magazines are not included. We recommend actual Accuracy International magazines or those from Accurate Mag which we sell with our logo.

Cheekpiece:

Infinitely adjustable within range (1” travel). You are not locked into set positions.
Cheekpiece can be quickly removed and re-installed, uses a clamp and thumbscrew design.
Includes a simple feature to make the cheekpiece return to the exact height you set it.
Cheekpiece can be moved forward and backward with several mounting positions.
Cheekpiece made of polymer to not transmit heat to or away from your face.

Length of Pull:

Adjustable in ¼” increments with 1 3/4” of adjustment range.
LOP range varies slightly between versions but is roughly 13.3” to 15”.
Uses a unique taper system to ensure tight lockup

Buttstock:

CNC milled from billet aluminum.
Includes new style 4 prong machined aluminum thumbscrews.

Buttpad:

Moves vertically to set positions within range.
Tool-less adjustable.
Buttpad is Remington 700 pattern so user can install aftermarket pre-fit pads.
Buttpad can tilt 15 degrees to each side (as if looking directly from the rear down the bore).

Mounting features for slings, monopods, etc:

Buttstock has QD sling cup on each side and provisions for other mounting options.
Buttstock allows attachment of various bag riders or Pic rail for monopod.
Harris bipod stud included on forend.
QD cups can be mounted on any number of positions on sides or bottom of forend.

Optional Accessories:

Large selection of accessories from sling mounts to tripod mounts.
ALL STOCKS COME WITH ONE KRG/MOE L2 RAIL (5 slot).
