I struggled with the exo carrier on a hunt this past week. Was never able to reach back and unclip it, atleast not quickly. Also the elastic on the butt carrier is very tight and midway through the hunt it had started to rip the recoil pad from the stock. Emailed stockys to see if they will send another but we will see. For now it's just floppy and dangling except for the bottom 25% that's still attached.

Sorry I'm late, I don't like it! You don't see a comb shape like this on any military sniper rifle. Recoil will bring the shooter's face/check off the stock, nothing for quick follow-up shots. Good for the recoil sensitive though.
Have you actually shot a rokstok?

I'd hate to use a military sniper rifle to hunt. That would suck.

Maybe “they” should try one? Might be just the ticket.

I use a Kifaru carrier on the EXO pack. The universal upper is a strap pull (can be bought separate), works well for me.

I wish the straps were bright orange, accidentally pulled it and “drop tested” my rifle while hunting this year.

Doubt it. But he's right, doesn't work at all for quick follow up shots and the recoil management is so terrible you can spot your shots easily....
Doesn't work at all for hunting.

Nope, I am sure it is comfortable since the comb moves away in recoil. Not much for follow-up is it.
If your face is moving far enough off the comb on any stock including a negative comb and causing follow up issues then your rifle handling skills are lacking. It is not an issue as you perceive it to be. “Perceive” is the key word there, not actual experience with it.

What it the logic of this comb design, what is it supposed to do? Why aren't the manufacturers jumping on this? What about the military teams shooting bolt guns?

The rostock reminds me of another fad from a few years back. 1732039068578.jpeg
