The muzzle is threaded for Breda flush choke tubes, and the package includes a multi-choke set with an Improved Cylinder tube suitable for steel shot. A red fiber-optic front bead provides quick sight acquisition along the rib.
Chambered 12–76 (3 inch Magnum) with a maximum capacity of 4+1, the Echo is configured for a range of 12 gauge loads. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and the stock includes molded checkering, a raised cheek-comb insert, a rubber recoil pad, and a rear sling swivel stud.
