I am full of questions as it is my first .223 and hoping others will chime in. I haven’t read this entire thread but have looked at a bunch of it and expected more penetration. Still happy with the final result.
Additional info- shot from a high tree stand.
New but previously .223 suspicious convert lol - first deer with a .223. A whitetail doe with 73gr ELD-M factory Hornady. Quartering on @ 45yrds, no blood but down inside of 25 yards. The entry shoulder was pretty blown out, only a “bruise” on the inside of the exit side of the rib cage. Bullet...
It came single color (I think that was included in the presale price but can’t remember exactly). Then self spray/sponge job in the yard to get to its current state.
Thank you!
Atmat is exactly right. It’s the adhesive backed leather from UM. Very nice piece and super easy to apply. It’s under RokStok accessories on the UM website. I got a couple and put them on other stocks as well.
Yes, medium rings. They are fine. Not “perfect” I don’t think for me. Have a set of lows that I will try eventually. But fine and shootable for 4 other people who shot it with the mediums.
Very pleased with the RokStok 100rds in. Big improvement in spotting shots, even in .223. Limited overall experience for me- so take with a grain of salt- but I would say roughly 0 ability to spot shots with factory stock, up to at least 50% just by changing to the RokStok. Have shot it from 50...
I was able to pull MT lug of my RokStok with channel locks and a rag. First time out it was tough though.
MT lug that came with the RokStok: .6395
Factory lug from that rifle: .6300
Factory lug is looser in the RokStok but by no means sloppy or even close to falling out.
First post- long time creeper, thank you to all who contribute to this forum across many topics.
