    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    Just in case you haven’t seen, we’re gathering up/starting to coordinate M70 Rokstok preorders here: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/model-70-rokstok-commitment-poll.359078/page-2#post-3659069 Just a couple little tweaks to inlet depth behind recoil lug make M70 inlet fit MRC as I recall...

    375 ruger custom rifle options

    Just as a point of reference on velocities, my 19" barrel posted above I have no problem getting 2600 fps with 270 gr. Barnes LRX and TSX with both Big Game and 6.5 StaBall powder. The 6.5 StaBall is a little more loud/boomy (powder still burning at muzzle I figure) so Big Game or faster burn...

    Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

    That’s exactly why I made this thread haha, it’s like the reverse of a bank run, as soon as people see that number (of the 15 needed to start) dropping, they are comfortable jumping in too, but when it just sits at 15, one kinda thinks ‘how long is this $$$ gonna sit out here?’ I’m on the same...

    Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

    Up to 29 total carbon stock votes, for those that have voted, anyone care to tell us when they think they’re comfortable pressing the ‘go’ button in ordering? Seems like there’s some supply chain related delays right now being pontificated by Roksliders in the main RokStok thread and I also...

    RokStok

    I hope that’s true, I was told “hopefully in a couple weeks” roughly 3 weeks ago as well, I got ancy/tired of waiting and found the template for the Limbsaver pad they use (IIRC, 10818) imported the PDF into CAD, carefully checked dimensions, did a slight scale adjustment, did some cleanup to...

    Show your Tikka ten round groups

    20” CTR in 260 Rem likes the latest 147 ELD-M recipe with IMR4955. Also got some time with the RokStok’d Creedmoor with 147 factory fodder, not my best work, but I’ll take it.

    Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

    Quick Update: We're up to a minimum of 23 votes for carbon with grip texture out of total minimum of 26 carbon stock votes. (only counting 2 ea of the '2 ea or more' votes) I see on UM's website this lead time notice (which in the big picture I think is good for UM/Stocky's and RokStok...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44mm SHR-Mil Q&A

    Sweet setup indeed. Not to derail here, but I gotta chime too and ask what pack is that?

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    I had missed that! That is a good bit of news. I definitely don't want to count them out, maybe it's just a matter of time and $$/interest then. Maybe the lack of what I would call "ideal" stocks on the market for the Ruger's will be a force for good in accelerating RokStok production...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    Just me reading between the lines on all the RokStok/rokstok adjacent content, but my hypothesis is the Ruger M77 might have the most 'headwind' in front of it for RokStok development. I hope I'm wrong, because Stockys will have the inlets and everything, but I'm not counting on it coming to...

    Suppressor wrap

    Hey that’s a good idea! Banana peels are naturally heat/temp resistant right? Might have to step up to a certain kind of plantain for today’s short fat cans… chop the ends, hollow it out, slide on, then vet wrap ;-)

    Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

    Came back just to say I love this idea. The combo of new high tech stock design with the classic/nostalgic Model 70 and 375 H&H is just cool to me. I love Tikkas and Sakos, but I will always have a soft spot and regularly shoot/hunt with CRF actions too. Maybe someday I can do something...

    Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

    I 100% agree/get it, it’s not like we all have to preorder tomorrow, Stockys/UM is busy as hell with current orders anyway. I got lucky/was one of first couple stocks ordered so have got shoot RokStok back to back with other nice stocks, hence my desire to at least get this organized in the...

    RokStok

    Ha I’ve had similar thoughts/wonderings. I may have read too far into the ‘first come first serve’ messaging and 100% thought that LE greens would be out in the wild first, thinking a wave of Rokslide green weave camo would be some good ‘in person’ guerilla marketing, as it grabs your...

    Model 70 to 7PRC?

    I hear ya there. Cool thing is they are both sure to be great stocks and lucky us thanks to Stocky's/UM that we're starting to get more affordable/timely carbon fiber options in the market. Nice to be able to choose/purchase to suit your taste/goals with less compromise versus prior offerings...

    What stocks do you all prefer?

    Don't want to take away from the awesome Stocky's VG and Hunter stocks, because they are great, but I'm also trying to get the RokStok Model 70 version brought into existence as well, see below: Things are moving in a positive direction, but trying to use this thread/poll (below) as a place to...

    Winchester model 70 classic stainless stock options

    I know this thread is in a coma, bit in case people are searching around wanted to bring attention to a viable M70 stock option that should be coming into reality this year, if we can organize a healthy preorder: Trying to get the ball rolling on UM/Stocky's making the RokStok (carbon fiber)...

    What rifle is missing stock options?

    ALERT: Shameless plug for Model 70 RokStok, but here it goes. Trying to get the ball rolling on UM/Stocky's making the RokStok (carbon fiber) for the Model 70. Things are moving in a positive direction, but trying to use this thread/poll (below) as a place to organize the preorder effort...
