Rokstok Lite

[WCT3]

Is there any new info on when carbon may be available to order and if it's going to have integrated arca be able to put mini arca on it?

Hopefully it's gonna be a while since I just ordered a standard rokstock

Im debating on what to install on my custom tikka action from UM with a carbon 6 barrel. Either the rokstock lite only if they offer it with a mini arca/integrated arca in front of mag or hnt 26 etc.

Do you want to build it this year?

Carbon 6 Barrel and rokstock lite are 6 months to a year out, so whenever is possible

Have you already ordered the Carbon 6 barrel? What caliber?

Yes 7 prc with sendero contour. I was debating getting a tikka stock and sanding out the barrel channel but I'm not sure on that either

Don't go HNT26. Use a dremmeled out Tikka stock until you get a Rokstok or Rokstok lite. If you get a HNT26, you'll be stuck with a long action chassis and won't be able to swap it to a short action cartridge (like 6CM or 6UM) when you ultimately decide that 7PRC is overkill.

7PRC in a Rokstok Lite isn't gonna be fun to shoot. My 18" 7prc isn't fun to shoot in a regular Rokstok.

Personally, I'd cancel that Carbon6 barrel and just contact UM for a custom 6UM build.

This is suppressed. I dialed in my friends custom 7 prc with same specs accept a different action. 4 beginner shooters hit steel at 540 yards first shot after that. It was not much more than my 6.5 prc's. Very manageable.

My recommendation remains. You'll get more versatility from a stock than a chassis. Swapping for a 223 Tikka for practice in the same stock is awesome.

I'll grab a tikka stock then.do you think I'll need to do any glass or pillar bedding? Sorry I'm new to this thanks

Maybe, if it shoots a 10 shot sub 1.5moa group without bedding, I’d call it good. But if you wanted to try to bed a stock, the factory stocks are cheap to practice on.
