Rokstok + Maven RS 1.2 + UM Tikka Rings + S2H U = a revolution in hunting for 2024?

[eric1115]

Just got back from California A-Zone, and I was excited to get an opportunity to see if all my practice would translate into a successful harvest ... The one critical thing the "Rokstok + Maven RS 1.2 + UM Tikka Rings + S2H U" does not help with? Materializing a legal buck ... Needless to say "spikes, does, and fawns" are very plentiful ...

Obviously they were all aware of what a killer a fella is likely to be if he's toting an RSRSRSS. Legal bucks are bound to go nocturnal with that guy roaming the hills.

I’ve got it all dialed in other than shoot2hunt university. Need to see if I can make this happen for 2025. How do you sign up for this?

If we are going to put the UM tikka rings in the headline, we should probably put the Revic BLR10b up there too. Fast accurate firing solutions are valuable.

Hunting coastal black tails on public land, and being successful every year, is a damn good hunter. I settled on this little guy last year on last day of season. 670 yards.

Hoping for a bigger one this year but we shall see.

Good luck! Hope you get a smoker!

LOL. That doe and 2 fawns today that walked right up on me didn’t seem too worried

Just getting ready to order a set of the UM rings for an rs1.2, assuming I need the mediums or can you get by with the low?

You can, but I prefer mediums with the RS, Bastion, and other higher-comb stocks.

Lows work great for some people but with the Rokstok I needed the mediums

I wouldnt mind getting a rokstock though likely will use the factory stock for a bit. Think still get the medium anyway?

I use Lows on both normal stock and Rokstock

6.5 and lower Caliber with an non momo and suppressor is part of the koolaid mix you didn't add.

With the rokstock I couldn’t use the lows… yes I could get into the gun fine but at the range I would push my face into the stock sometimes and cause groups to open up left and right

I don't yet have a Rokstock, and use rings higher than Form (for example) recommends. I've found the mediums work great on a factory Tikka stock and a carbon stock that is similar to the Stockys VG; with highs for use with a Bravo stock and 34 mm tube scope for a more upright head position for field / comp shooting.

Something worthy of the term "revolution" would be a nation-wide movement away from all the long range BS and a movement towards learning how to track and stalk game. I have zero problem with dialing on game, and it's certainly prudent to be setup for LR opportunities (if that's all that's available). However, the real joy of hunting is lost in all the sniper wannabe s-hit, and you can't know the difference if you haven't done it. The satisfaction of tracking a deer or bull to its bed and shooting it at 40 or 50 yards is an incredible thrill. Same with getting close on antelope. When you take an animal's senses out of the equation, it's really no longer hunting, it's just plain old killing. Again, nothing wrong with it, but I find the over-emphasis on LR a bit sad. It's an age-old trait to want gear that makes up for skill.

I don't think it's about being able to drop bombs from 600, 700, 800+ for what's being talked about on here (at least for me). It's about actually being able to perform the way we would like to think we can. How many of us have seen guys that call themselves 500 yard capable, but then have rodeos on shots at half that distance in actual field conditions?

I think the "revolution" I'd like to see is guys determining their max effective range based on first round hit rates on vital size targets, in field conditions from field positions rather than walking shots in on a full size IPSC off a concrete bench and thinking they are 600 yard capable on an animal because they got rounds 4-7 on target after missing their first 3.
