Yeah, good point.What would that show you? The ring height is face, neck length, and shooting form dependent. You won’t be able to tell which you need from a pic.

Also UM has said many times they will swap rings out if needed.Yeah, good point.

I know it's a bit of an ask, sorry for the imposition, but while you have everything there is there any chance you could show a comparison between the 'Low' & 'Medium' rings, mounted to the rifle with a SWFA 44mm scope please?
I think a few folks are a little concerned/worried about that particular aspect of the negative comb
Thanks.
Fingered the one at the Stone Glacier booth. Feels great and shouldered really well. Not sure what size of rings were on that one but whatever they are were perfect for me.
Not regarding to the stock but do want to meet Ryan and many others in the rokslide group. Any way maybe next year to have a hunt expo meet up. Ofcourse I cancelled rooms already this year.Fingered the one at the Stone Glacier booth. Feels great and shouldered really well.

It gets talked about every year but hasnt ever happened. Most of the Rokslide staff have basically said that they are too busy to organize/attended something. My guess would be that they get enough of their fill baby sitting us here.Not regarding to the stock but do want to meet Ryan and many others in the rokslide group.

I think UM needs to produce a tikka bolt for the Grendel/arc with matching bolt stop and mag while they’re at it..I think the RokStok for the Howa mini in 22 or 6 mm arc would be a super cool idea if UM could produce a mini action that plugged the holes that let crap into the safety, bolt release, and bolt, smooth the bolt throw, and develop a detachable mag that feeds better. I’d seriously consider a custom rifle for something like that. Always thought a mini action ultralight Tikka was the holy grail, but hell will likely freeze over before we see one of those.

Hopefully for us lefties too.It was mentioned in the UM Tikka bottom metal thread that they're working on a modular Tikka bolt. .... Meaning.... Modular bolt heads?
For Alterra… they said they were planning inlets for their rifles only (I asked them on IG when they announced it). If you have one of their rifles (I don’t know if they use a 700 footprint or not) it might be worth a look. GW has never shown interest in inlets for anything other than 700s.Probably worthy of another thread but there seems to be a lot of attention here - Does anyone have any info this new GW chassis or the Alterra X stock? Curious if I should hold out for something new or just order a second Rokstok..

I've got a Rokstok ordered for a Tikka, but have an Anti-x on the way that will need a stock too.For Alterra… they said they were planning inlets for their rifles only (I asked them on IG when they announced it).

I don’t know the prices on those two either. But the Rokstok seems to hit a great spot price wise… and they’re planning inlets for Tikka and 700, plus I think others as there is demand. Plus UM and Stockys seem to be actively listening and fast to respond to the things Rokslide type guys (western hunters) want.
Yea the fore end looks pretty minimal and the stock looks like a snag hazard. I'd like to get a hold of a GW Magnus but their website is claiming no component stocks at the moment and they ghosted me on the phone.I’m sure these design concepts will continue to catch on with other manufacturers. That said, that alterra looked chunky AF for a hunting stock and the fore end on that gunwerks looks like a lousy idea. I think gunwerks has some of the best product ideas in the industry but it seems they’ve let some turds out recently with the bipod failing at high rates and the nexus having a safety that barely functions.
