M70 RokStok

[Formidilosus]

How does the same inletting work for all M70’s? 2 piece vs one piece bottom metal. Push feed vs CRF. Pre vs post 64. I even have a M70 with DBM.

Inletting is different, but the mold is the same.

Cool. Something to keep in mind. Post bookmarked.

Is the m70 action a good action to buikd a custom rifle on? My dads got one sitting in the safe that hasn't been shot in years and its never crossed my mind to do anything with it

Can you tell me more about the dbm? Was that factory or aftermarket upgrade?

I see. So you specify the inletting somewhere in the order process, and you guys have all the different inletting specs?

It is factory. Limited run in the early 90’s vintage push feeds. Bolt runs super slick!

Yes. Very good actions.

Yes. They have most, but if they don’t have yours, they might have you send it in so they can map it.

Curious if the mold is the same for LA vs SA?

Yes.

Rather than clutter up this thread, here's poll thread to try and organize/kick start the Model 70 RokStok pre-order/production train, with the intent to forward it on, along with direct communication to UM/Jake/Ryan. I'm in for one, just want to see if I'll be waiting for 14 others.

Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

This is intended to be a pulse check for Model 70 RokStok demand. I have no affiliation with UM or S2H... I am lucky to already own and have shot with a Tikka RokStok though and accordingly want a SA M70 RokStok in carbon fiber ASAP, with the grip texture as advertised on the UM website...

I’ve got a LA .338WM that I’d to convert to something else. How many are still needed? I couldn’t tell on the website.

ETA: The above posted while I was typing. I’ll go vote.

Yes. Very good actions

Are there any versions in particular that are better than others? Would you use the standard trigger or are there better options?

Ehh. The Pre 64’s are the “grail” of them, but probably not functionally better in reality for most than any others. I would keep the old style trigger, though I have not used the MOA version enough to say how reliable it is with debris and ice.

Will these stocks work with a Featherweight long action? Would it just be the factory sporter barrel channel?

 

[walk2112]

Heard the latest update from Jake on the S2H podcast on these, sounds like they are next in the fab/assembly line after they finish existing orders on REM 700 Long Actions (I think). Concurrent of course with all the Tikkas.

Excited for them to start coming to life.

Anybody hear/have any other good updates on how M70s and the collab with MRC is going?

 

[Marty]

Any update on production and sales? I've got an MRC Short Action X3 (1999 action) that needs a warm Rokstok hug for these cold alaskan winters.

Cheers!

Thanks!

Nice bottom metal! I’ve still got the ole hinged floorplate on my MRC.

That is an MRC 2022 action- a Pre 64 M70 copy that is a true short action. It has integral picatinny bases. The rings are Warne Mountain Tech.
