KRG Echo - Sporterish version of bravo for tikkas

[khuber84]

Thank you that’s very helpful. Is the rear action screw all threads or is there any smooth shank?

Should be smooth shank on the lower side to the cap screw. Maybe the rear screw is captured as well, and is inside the stock body up inside the rear screw hole? I don't own an echo, just a low of experience with every other Tikka krg option.

Edit, no the rear isn't captured. Screw should be included, call KRG or the individual you purchased from. Item was likely left out or lost.

See in below photo the machine cap screw and washer.

The rear action screw on the BNIB Echo I recently received was fully threaded.

Yes, as mentioned above, the front action screw is captured.

You can get replacement screws from KRG for $3 per set. I had to for a used Bravo I bought that didn't come with a rear action screw. OEM Tikka screw does work in a pinch, but it's pitched, not flat, so it doesn't engage with the bedding pilar appropriately.

The rear action screw was missing from mine when I ordered, but the stock screw works just fine

Finished the build and final weight 9lb 5oz with variables below for those that want the details. Tikka T3x 6.5 PRC 22” barrel factory cut and threaded (note no bipod, can, or magazine)
Spartan pic rail (plus a pile of epoxy)
Maven rs1.2 UM tikka mediums and bubble level
Thread adapter
Barrel inlet removed
2 spacers and KRG adjustable pad
UM leather cheekpad
Overall this will be about 10lbs with the can. In my uneducated opinion this isn’t bad at all for what it is and I can’t wait to get out and shoot it.
Hope this is helpful!

Looks great.

Here's one that's pretty close:



Only differences I see are a MT 20 moa rail and a set of Ruffs' Precision rings. And this stock has been made ambidextrous.

Got to ask but what does a group say about the unseated lug? Plenty of rifles that shouldn't shoot good groups do.

Maybe its the clearancing but the fact the barrel isn't even close to parallel to the top of the foreend suggests is not seated. An easy way to confirm in bolt in in with no recoil lug and compare.

There's two options:

Option #1) It is not seated, but it's grouping well because the action isn't shifting around in the chassis (yet). It's a 6CM, so not a ton of recoil to get things moving.

Option #2) It is seated, but it look wonky because he "hacked away the end of the forend pretty good."

I'd have to ask what you are talking about, the lug on mine is fully seated. You are just trying to stir the pot.

He's referencing this post.

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 goodView attachment 823906

Ok, that dude already said he cut a bunch of material off the forend, that probably why his looks funky.

No I'm not. If you can't work out what I was talking about and jump to conclusions you should have a look at yourself.

The angle doesn't match and who clearances the top line of the stock. They clearance the barrel channel which you don't see from the side

Somebody wanted to see how the Salmon River rail was mounted. I used two holes that were already in the stock and drilled one more hole.

Has anybody installed a KRG slim recoil pad to shorten the LOP even more? I'm thinking it would be a good option for kids.
