Rokstok Lite

[HNTR918]

Kimber inlet 84M & 84L needed!

There is not a single good stock solutions on the market and we need one.
I don't think the factory mag would work as you would need an aftermarket trigger guard anyways.
It might be best with something like the Hawkins flush fit magazine and bottom metal.

If the wood is 20-21oz, it would be nice to see the carbon at 17-18oz.
18oz should be the goal for a "lite" style rifle stock.

The lines on the lite look much better than the full version. I suspect those same lines trade a little on function, but it looks very nice to me.

Isn’t going to happen with this. The carbon and wood versions are virtually the same weight.

Why the arbitrary “18oz should be the goal for a ‘lite’ style rifle stock”?

It does trade a bit of pure shooting performance for size and weight over the ROKStok. However, it still does way better than any other sporter stock.

It’s like a mini Tikka Master Sporter, and it behaves like one.

Is there enough meat on either the wood or carbon lite to get the Gunsmith Spartan adaptor in there? I would order a presale wood stock today if there were that option...!

Oh yes. He can make that fit.

Do you notice any increased muzzle flip with the lighter weight of the stock and the barrel/suppressor weight balance being moved further back?

No- not in the combos it has been used in. I mean yes- there will be more rifle movement because it is lighter, but overall the weight and .25” above bore pad height seems to be offset a bit by the forend dropping the CG.

That combo- shorter barrel, OTB can, and RS Lite is probably the best feeling combo I have used for a lighter rifle. The scalloped/raised forend lowers the CG, and that combined with the flat forend make it sit very well on any rest/surface- it is very stable in field shooting. The forend edges are softened and rounded so it is still very comfortable in the hand, as well the whole stock is thinner and smaller. It is significantly thinner side to side, especially at the receiver area- very comfortable in the hand.

It performs very well and feels great.

Any idea when the wood lite version will be available to order?

I imagine you could now.

In your opinion, what do you think is the upper end of cartridge/recoil that you’d put in the RS Lite and the average shooter still be able to spot their impacts?

Is a suppressed 6.5prc or 7prc more than you’d recommend?

 

[Sundodger]

The fact that the carbon fiber version and the wood version are the sameish weight make me very curious about the manufacturing process of the carbon version.

Also a little surprised to see grip on the wood version isn't hollow.

Oh yes. If the rifle is sub 9lbs, very few are going to be able to spot their own shots consistently from most positions with a 6.5 PRC- let alone a 7PRC. 308win suppressed was pretty solid.


Also, I am pretty sure they are going to have a recommendation for max recoil level for the lite stock. I plan to shoot quite a bit of 300PRC/win mag through one to make sure it will take it, but I definitely wouldn’t be saying that it is appropriate to use for them.

That is pure sexy!

It ... feels great.

The mechanical I can make a pretty good guess at and my guess lines up with your description. I'm looking forward to hands on.

The "feel" described is why I'm REALLY looking forward to hands on hunting/carry and positional shooting.

@Formidilosus care to point us in the direction where we could order them? UM is not listing it as an option yet on the wood Rokstock page.

Guys, I'm simply the maker of their stock.
All orders need to go through UM.

Thanks-
