[Schmo]

Ok so mine with a SWFA and no suppressor should be under 10lbs.

Yes. But what heathen outside of Cali doesn’t run a suppressor?

You’ll love it. Anyway, the Bravo is great to shoot. Excellent ergos, and very stable.

Did you get it to work?

No.
Hopefully Midway takes it back.

@Stockys , call to the bullpen.


Here's what's happening

FYI midway charges for returns

Supressors are over rated.

Have you reached out to KRG? I wonder if they might warranty it. That should not be happening.

No. I was 50/50 before on if I wanted an Echo or Stockys. All my stockys have been good. The Echo does have some foreend flex, so that's enough strikes. If it was rock solid OR if the magazine issue didn't pop up, I'd be ok with it, but I think the Stockys is the best choice now and with the extra $130.

I have 2 of the Echo. They both run smoothly with the OEM, HCA, MT and Berretta mags I've tried in them. One thing I noticed is that you have to make sure that the rear mag retention spring in front of the trigger is both positioned rearward as far as it can be on the bolt and it is perfectly square to the action.

Of course, always possible to have a manufacturing defect.

buddy is shipping me an echo to try out. For those with a T3X, what has been the best/simplest 10 round mag setup? I’ve been looking for a mamba 308 /6.5 for weeks with no luck

If 10 rounders are a must, the Bravo with a double stack AICS is the way to go. The extra cost to get a Waters will cover the difference.

I agree, but with the echo being send to me to test, I need a solution for a larger tikka mag. Wasn’t sure if a CTR mag would work in a nacho chassis with my T3X rifle?

I’ve used the mamba and waters in mine both with no issue with my 223 T3x. I used a waters for a 6.5 PRC when it was in the echo and that also worked with no issues.

You have no options other than Waters and NDR (maybe). You’re looking at $200 for a mag- not the way. The Echo is a poor stock compared to the Bravo.

Got it on order, been looking for a mamba 308 mag for a while. Had no idea the Lithgow mags would fit a tikka

They are tight, so speed mag changes might not be in the cards, but mine have worked well.

Is yours a factory tikka T3x barreled action?

Factory T3 and T3x actions and stock bottom metals. Stocks are not factory.
