KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

[HighUintas]

Did they announce that the Bravo toe hook cover is not going to work with the Echo? I was hoping it would...

I emailed them and they said that the bravo insert will not work for the Echo because there is not any way to screw it in or secure it. I followed up to see if the insert will at least fit the cutout on the echo so that the owner could devise a method of attachment, but haven't heard back yet.

This is not a satisfactory answer. Who do they have answering their tech support email???

What do you expect? Production samples don’t exist.

I would expect the mfg of the stock would have a few pre-prod stocks that they're testing. Does krg not make its own stocks? Why wouldn't they have any to test?

It’s just seemed like nothing is really final on it yet so I can understand being non committal. Been some lessons learned in that regard with a different stock recently.

On another forum I asked the krg guy on there that same question about the echo (as I prefer it flat to ride a bag) he said it would not be compatible but that was right when it came out at shot show, maybe it's still being tweaked

 

[HighUintas]

I thought they planned to start selling near late summer, so I figured they'd have it worked out by now.

Is this a thing yet? Love the Rokstok, but was looking for something a little heavier for the 7prc. I think this will be the answer, at least until I see a heavy Rokstok

Have been watching for updates, nada.

I messaged KRG about 2 weeks ago and was told they had some material and mold delays, but would have more info coming in 1-2 weeks...

So any day now I'm sure

I’m excited for this one. Roughly a 1/2lbs lighter than the Bravo, factory mags, and finally something good for long action Tikkas.

This looks like a nice option at $300, I was getting ready to grab a boyd varmint and turn it into a rokstok. Does anyone see any room to trim down weight? 42 oz is heavier than the BC stock I am currently running.

 

[Fireflyfishing]

Didn't remove a ton of weight from the Bravo but looks like a nice option nonetheless! If it weren't for rokstok i bet they'd have sold a bunch to roksliders. If rokstok is as good as I think it will be, i'd rather have that extra lb of weight in a heavier barrel and scope. Sure love the ergos of Bravo's though!

Feel a little bad for KRG after hounding them for a lighter tikka version and now likely not buying one..

I’m interested. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[swavescatter]

I'll buy a couple of these probably.

When I did the math it was <3 oz lighter than the Bravo. A half pound would be something to get excited about!

I haven’t weighed mine (has too much stuff on it) but their numbers between the two are nearly a 1/2lb. Would suck to not be so.

 

[Antares]

I was using numbers from some early promotional materials. Maybe they changed something since then.

 

[Tahoe1305]

Website currently says 2.65lbs.
