A few words on the Lite.
The ROKStok is very versatile in feel and balance- from 14” to 26” barrels it does well. With 16-20” being optimum for feel for most setups. The Lite is different. While one can put any length and weight barrel they want in it, some very clear trends have shown. When the initial three stocks were made, pretty quick the “optimum” rifle setup in the lite showed clearly. Close to 10,000 rounds and 4 rifles later- it’s even more clear.
The optimum setup- that is weight, stability- standing offhand, rested, bagged, etc; is a 16” barrel with suppresor. 18” is fine too, but it’s noticeably better with a 16” barrel and can. Ironically, while a T3 lite contour is really good in it, the Roughtech D18 weight at 16” is noticeably better.
The Rokstock lite with slightly heavier than T3 lite barrel, 16” with light and short can, and 20-26oz low mounted scope- is the best balanced and feeling 8lb “hunting” rifle I’ve ever shot or used. It just “hangs” on target offhand, and is absolutely dead on a bag or pack. It’s quite silly.
The combo is so subtly, but noticeably correct, that the upcoming Corax rifles suggested or “standard” combination when paired with the Lite stock will be a 16” barrel of a specific contour that provides that balance and feel. When combined with a 25oz scope, NF rings, and 6-7oz suppressor it will be all together right at 8lbs.
