KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

[NSI]

Remember the weight and cost savings from 5oz metal AICS mag to 2oz plastic mag.

Best part about tikkas IMO

I recently picked up a tikka 223, I’m between waiting on this echo or getting regular bravo.
I guess it comes down to whether I want tikka 223 mags or AICS 223 mags

Would a t1x drop in as well I wonder? Aren't the stocks the same?

I emailed krg this week to ask when they would drop and said stocks would be available toward end of October and should be in the field for November.

These stocks use t3 mags, so it would need a different “bottom metal”

Picking up one of these while I wait for My rokstok. I emailed the KRG team regarding spacers as the starting LOP will be 12.8”. They will have a specific spacer system for the echo when it’s released. Sharing in case anyone else was confused like I was when looking over the specs and accessories.

I didn't catch that. Wouldn't they send length of pull spacers with the stock like they do with the bravo?

Where are you seeing/hearing that? The website makes it seem like it will use their existing spacers (which makes sense to me from a a production standpoint).

Thanks.

As someone with two Bravos (and a pile of spacers), this is lame.

Very fair. I assumed they would be the bravo spacers as well.

Since the hole spacing is advertised to line up with their other butt pads, I imagine they can be ground to fit.

Sooo you have to buy the spacers separately? Who shoots 12.8'' LOP? Sounds like a money grab.

I like a shorter LOP right around 12.8", but I imagine I'm not in the majority.

I’ve been experimenting with different LOPs with my Rokstoks and I’ve come to the conclusion that LOP is probably the most over-thought and over “crucialized” thing in shooting these days. Chassis “systems” have made it WAY more exaggerated where guys shoulder a gun in a shooting position and their first thought isn’t about driving a bullet on target, it’s about how “unshootable” the gun is “for my style and body shape”.

Just shoot the fricken gun dude, you could have already rang that steel 30 times in the amount of time it took you to whine about how you need the perfect chassis tweaks to be able to hit anything.

I don’t/would’t/have never cared; except the Rokstok/Tikka/Maven combo leaves me wanting another 1” on LOP.

 

[bigsky_hunter]

My point wasn't about what LOP was best/worst. Each to their own. The system is set up to be adjustable for the individual shooter, making it more shootable across a variety of shapes, sizes, preferences, etc. My point was that they should include the initial LOP spacer kit with the chassis when you buy it. If you want to stack on another 1.5'' after, then you can buy the extra spacers.

I stand corrected. My statement was more of a generic one in regards to what LOP most stock manufacturers produce.
