Rokstok Lite

[Q_Sertorius]

no request yet, Form and I have been kicking ideas around and I intend to try one on my Hawkin and TC Omega when I get time.

Sight height is they key. I set up a Tikka with Ghemann sights for Form last year and it will hold MOA as far as we've shot it. I've shot it for groups @ 100, 200 and 300 and a big rock @ 500 something.
Form may have shot it further by now.

I don't think anything is lost on a muzzleloader. recoil control is follow through. Back when i was trying for extreme (peep sight) accuracy, i was setting the gun up for recoil control like it was a Rokstok and i got pretty good with it. looking back, had it actually been a Rokstok, it would have been easier and more enjoyable.
Plus, most muzzleloader stocks kick the snot out of the shooter and just aren't that much fun to shoot for hours. I get tired of getting punched in the cheek real quick.

Do a Google search on old Danish muskets. parallel and even a few negative comb guns have been around a LONG time.

Yes, there are many “old style stocks” that have “modern” shapes. Some of the old Middle Eastern or Indian musket stocks are in the negative comb realm.

That's true on the rokstock recoil control likely increasing ability to shoot accurately from different positions with higher recoil. I didn't think about that. I was mainly thinking about shot spotting and quick follow up shots.

In that case, I think an Alexander Henry design muzzy with a rokstock would be the cats ass, although yes a Gehmann would be a big improvement on the peep. A heavy paper patched 45 would be killer and I bet would hold easily MOA as far as you can see/aim.

I'm currently working on building a highly custom early J&S Hawken for round balls.... But this has my wheels turning now haha. Damn

Nice.
so I've been plotting a paper patch bullet Gibbs in a Rokstok-ish style for a legitimate 500 yd peep gun that fits the Montana heritage season.
