RokStok

SRS coming in with comment # 2000 as I take a break from designing the Spartan Pic rail for the stock.

My post isn’t a Space Odyssey…looking forward to the Spartan pic rail as I ordered it for my design flawed Rokstok

Not a huge fan of cluttering up discussions with memes, but surely somebody will start a new thread with ”design flaw” memes.

Are these all considered “seconds” as they don’t have the angled cut completed in the buttstock?

For $200 I’ll take a file and angle the buttstock

Its a design flaw, but to each his own.
I dont want to influence anyone else's decision though because I think UM does good work.

I'll stop commenting about it now, but to your point typically manufacturers will take input from current and prospective customers about the products.

That's weird. I've never seen any other manufacturer take as much feedback as this thread.

I know, I know. Guess I’m not a true believer! (Actually just not a fan of DBM for hunting, team BDL for me.)


Actually brings up a question, for us 700 clone users, will there be an option for BDL bottom metal inlet?

M5 inlet. Plenty of M5 inlet BDL/floorplate options out there.

There won’t be. What you believe is an issue, is a specific design criteria that we require. For a stock that is optimized for killing animals in all conditions and environments, this stock is what it needs to be. KRG Bravo’s are one of the most used lighter weight chassis for hunting, they also have a near parallel toe line. No one has an issue with it- this is a thing that either you believe is an issue that actually isn’t an issue; or you lack some part of shooting skill that makes it one for you.

Not being rude- this design you don’t like, is one of the critical features.

The krg is a perfect example of toe angle, angle being the key word. Near parallel is all I was asking for but maybe you lack the comprehension to understand that.

Uh oh. Yet another shot at reading comprehension

I was just thinking the same thing. Seems like that’s the go to these days

Maybe you should actually try the stock before you critique it.

Couple things I noticed in the description on the website.

"For railed stocks, included QD cup in rail and rear." - Assuming this means the flush cup is not in the side on the front of the stock anymore, not sure where it is on the rear and dont much care but someone might.

"True Negative comb is 1/2″ above bore centerline" - about half of the height above centerline as the original prototype IIRC.

Credit to all involved on this project. Really neat to watch this come together.

No, I understand what you are writing. Its that I am telling you that you are wrong. I don’t care if you buy a stock- nothing to do with me. Your belief of what is a problem is just a belief. One that is not born of experience or understanding.
That you believe that the best way to handle small elevation angles is to push a rifle forward on a rear bag or rest instead of just make the rest higher or lower, is the difference. In the next 5,000-10,000 rounds I shoot with a ROKStok by the time people start getting theirs sent to them, I can assure you that adding an angle to the toe will not be a thought or desire.

 

[Formidilosus]

"True Negative comb is 1/2″ above bore centerline" - about half of the height above centerline as the original prototype IIRC.

Correct. The first rendition was extremely aggressive, and then we modified based on reticle movement during shooting and face structures.

 

[TheCougar]

They mentioned in this thread it would be an option. I didn't see it on the order page so I just went with what was offered.

I put it in the notes. I’ll call them when it calms down and pay for it.

 

[TheCougar]

I’m sitting here with another RokStok in my cart, wondering if I should double down or hedge my bets with a Game Warden LR, Manners EH1TK, wait for the new Alterra, or a Bravo. Besides the Bravo, no one even comes close in price…

 

[HighUintas]

You guys suck for putting the real time oos countdown on the order page. I'm just watching it tick down slowly. I was hoping they'd be sold out by this morning to relieve my coveting. My wife banned me from buying any more hunting gear until next year and I'm pretty sure she'd be pissed if I bought one.

Good point. @Unknown Munitions, is there still a QD on the non bolt side at both the front and rear of the stock?

 

[roosiebull]

Only one way to find out

I’d take my chances with “pretty sure” I’ve been wrong enough times on pretty sure, that I would take my chances

That’s like saying Eric Chesser missed a spot when shaving his head
