KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

[mlevimadden]

T3x that started a a 7RM. It cycled fine and was barely touching, but I’m good at breaking stuff so I adjusted it.

Mine only clears by a few thousandths, so I wouldn't be surprised if some stocks had contact just due to the tolerance of their plastic molding for the stock and cheekpiece. KRG definitely could've added more clearance in there without getting too close to the area that a shooter's cheek actually contacts.

The grip on the Echo is ambidextrous. With some Dremel work, could a left hand action drop in it. Asking for a friend.

ya its common people have had them machined out for left hand bolts. If you search krg bravo thread I am sure you will find some post about it

My Echo showed up has anyone plugged the giant hole in the cheek piece? So the stock doesn't fill with stuff n things while hiking.

Did anyone mount a Tikka with a Proof Sendero type profile barrel? Is there clearance? I'm waiting on an Oregon Mountain Rifle CF prefit. The shank is 1.120" for 3" then tapers to 1". I know their website says "varmint" profile at .950 at the end of the forend. If it does touch a little can it be sanded for clearance? Not sure if this is an option with the sporter contour insert. Messaged KRG and still waiting for response.

I put an omr prefit on mine and didnt like the flex in the chassis for the given clearance. Hacked away the end of the forend pretty good

Here are some weight differences of the Tikka stock and KRG Echo. My research before ordering wasn't finding a lot. This IMHO would be a well kitted factory stock vs a comparable Echo.

Factory stock with an aluminum pic rail (Seekins precision?) and a Mathew fabrication cheek riser and tool less adjust. 36 ounces.

KRG Echo with tool less cheek piece knob, short arca rail, aluminum L2 pic rail, and 3 LOP spacers weighs in at 46 ounces.

All in all not as much of a weight gain as I was anticipating.

Looks very promising

That does not look like it's seated on the recoil lug to me.

I had to use the bench grinder to take about an 1/8 of an inch little bevel on the cheek piece to prevent the bolt from hitting. It seemed like with the 6.5 PRC (I think I read all Tikka 6.5 PRC have the LA bolt stop) it felt like it was basically simultaneously hitting the stop and the cheek piece. Either way it took about 30 seconds to fix and I still like the stock a lot. I got lucky that the width of my grinding wheel basically was a perfect fit for the little inside width of the cheek piece between those two little tabs.
