Blaser R8 in a Rokstok survey

[OutOfMyMind]

For those wanting a wood one, UM is coming out with a wood rokstok. Nothing said about inlets available but I'd assume they still aren't planning anything for the R8.

Hopefully, we can generate enough interest here or other boards that UM can justify making a mold. I know Bjorn reached out on the BlaserBuds site.

Any update about a Rokstok?

I see what you mean about the bolt removal interfering with the negative comb. That's gonna be a tough nut to crack. Cleanest thing I can think of is the stock needs to have a cheek riser that's dovetailed on but removable by taking the buttpad off which would make the overall cost skyrocket.

They give you any teasers with how it was going or just that it was?

Just wondering if the wood Rokstok can be inletted for a Blaser R8? If so, I will be ordering one!

That is the objective. The stock maker has my R8 Professional Success. Hopefully word of Success by end of next week.

If that works out, and UM can mate an ACE barrel to an Akila Bear 8 barrel extension, then there's a R8 6 UM in my future (after the fast twist .223 Rem they are currently working)!

Hopefully this all works out. Keep us posted!

I would be in. I just got my first R8 in the carbon fiber stock that @BjornF16 had. I love it all except the trigger reach is crazy long. It’s like 3.5” and isn’t super comfortable. I love the system otherwise. It’s 8.5# with suppressor, scope, mounts, and sling.

Any more word on this?

Who makes that stock?

Going through UM…same stock maker that did Form’s M70 wood stock
