Rokstok review thread

Doing some research on the rokstok...the original thread by Form stated that it would not require bedding. Is this ringing true for most people?

I think that only applies to Tikka inlets. For Tikka yes it’s true in my experience. (for my two rokstoks and my buddies)

I second this. I own two and borrowed a 3rd for a while, all tikkas and all shot great with no bedding. At the S2H course, we moved a number of tikkas around from one rokstok to another as there were some prototypes of the lite to play with. Not a single one was bedded.

Good to hear about good practical experiences with tikkas and no bedding! I sent UM a message and got this reply:

"the proper answer is for the best accuracy....Bedding is akways the best option."

I'm looking at a rem 700 rokstok for a CA ridgeline short action, so that is likely a factor. The rifle hammers as it is but doesn't fit me right (feels too short, no LOP kit from CA). Tired of fighting the stock.

I put my Bergara in a Rokstok and tried it without bedding first. It shoots great without bedding. It shoots so good i doubt i will bed it

Mine is doing better than I can shoot it.
10 shots at 100. Prone in a 11 mph wind.

I have 4, all tikka, none bedded. Seem to be fine.

I have 2. Neither are bedded. A tikka 223 that hasn't been shot other than in the rokstok. Other is an R700. Pulled a 243ai from a bedded mcmillan and put it in the rokstok. Inlet was fine and it shoots and feeds the same as it did as when it was it the bedded stock.
