kutenay,
The Echols Legend stock is not quite as open as most Dakotas, at least that is the way it feels to me. Additionaly it is not as thin in the wrist as the McMill G&H and the nose of the comb sets further back thus not cramping the heel of the thumb. I have the stocks on 300Win. and 375H&H with a new lightweight coming for a 338Win. all I can say is that for me it is the best stock pattern period. There is no lack of control for the grip hand. I have tryed most of McMill's Mdl. 70 patterns including the G&H, a Brown and a High Tech, I like the Legend pattern hands down. The worst thing about this stock is it is habit forming.
Many Thanks
HBH
