Rokstok Lite

[longrangelead]

I had something similar to the old “weatherproof” ruger m77 in mind.

Basically to make a long story short, I’m trying to decide between sourcing my own laminate blank, vs ordering a rs lite later in the year.

gotcha.
I don't typically use laminate simply because at the cost of a custom stock, solid wood is the look people typically want.

I completely understand.
And just curious, what would bleached walnut end up looking like?

I've had a ton of questions on this stock so I'll post more pics and info.

it's curly Maple dyed black with a poly finish.

I was going for a ghost flame look where the curly grain was subtle but popped in sunlight.

Also of note:
earlier I said the forend was 1" shorter than the Rokstok. I checked and actually cut it off again at the Lite length so I could get a finger between the stock and suppressor. 14.5" barrel/OG 6.5

it has a slight purple hue up close in bright sun but looks black otherwise.

For a "let's see what happens" blem stock, it came out better than I expected.

I’ll be taking that in a couple of weeks.

I called it. Not the stock, that you'd take it.

I honestly didn't think it would get a second look because it's black and so is the carbon one.

Makes me sweaty just looking at it

If that isn't a standard wood option for RS lites...it needs to be
