Rokstok Lite

[longrangelead]

Im 6'2 220 they are both great but i really liked the wood lite

I was hoping you or the couple others that shot the Lite would comment.

I would recommend 14" be the LOP people consider starting with. Unless you're 5'-6", a longer LOP has been more common than shorter.

I'm 6 foot and need 14"-14¼" for comfortable prone eye relief. Other positions allow easier eye relief/LOP adjustment while still maintaining a good body position.

I seem to remember reading about a possible folding stock option for the Rokstok/Lite in the works. Did I dream this up?

Thanks Mike! So for me at 6’4” starting at 14-14.5”LOP and room for spacers if needed would be the way to go?

Is there a carbon prototype out there yet?

Id go at least 14.5". Thats what mine will be

I believe so.

@longrangelead how much do the lite versions weigh when you make them 14.5"lop? I realize it depends some on the density of the wood blank.

I haven't made enough Lites to have a solid record yet. I'm estimating 25oz or less for all variations. The goal is as close to 20oz as possible.

That's impressive I've only gotten down to 30 Oz on the diy stocks I've done. What do you use for a butt pad if you don't mind sharing?

just a good ol' Pachmeyer .6" grind to fit

a little update, a flush rail won't be possible with the Sendero channel, not enough wood left.

How about a bt63 nose rail?

I haven't used one.
as long as no more wood needs removed and there is clearance with the barrel, maybe.

Kinda doubt it, it’s quite a bit of material thickness similar to that flush rail. Requires removal of a fair bit of stock material to mount it flush to the inside of the barrel channel

Any other photos of the wooden rokstok lites with the QD cups? After weighing my guns tonight with the new suppressors, I’m really wanting to cut those 10 oz off for the 223 and 22 creeds I’ve got.

I just finished the first production Lite to go out.
So far, all the Lites have been Sendero channels so I have not done one with a rail or QD cups yet.

I'll post here as I do.

Update on Production:
I've run into a couple unexpected issues with the lamination process and had to start over twice now. I've got it figured out now so I'm working hard to get caught up on orders that are overdue as well as keep up going forward.

I thank you for your patience!
I hope you will find it's worth the wait.

Seems like Spartans will be a good fit here. Great looking wood.

That thing is beautiful. I loved the prototype at the winter course but this looks even better. So impressed with the grip stippling/texture. Keep up the great work, I have no doubt these will all be well worth the wait!

what profile would be the max to have the QD cups or the rail? Personally I don’t need the rail up front or sling studs but having the qd cups would be nice for the rare occasions I do attach a sling

I talked with Mike via email about the flush Spartan gunmakers socket. Doesn’t sound like there is enough wood to mount those up front on the light version. Heard a similar response from UM on the carbon lite that’s in the works. Not enough meat left for recessed options.
