Thanks for the kind words and great shooting.Day 1: 672 Yards shooting off backpack
Day 2: 672 Yards shooting seated with Spartan long bipod
Day 3: 920 Yards shooting prone with short Spartan bipod
Day 4: 814 Yards shooting seated with Spartan long bipod
I was able to get hits on 10" targets with each cold bore shot, shooting an old Tikka .260 hunting rifle with Maven RS1.2 and UM Tikka Rings.
Posting this here because I wanted to let folks know that each one of these unique field positions was in every way, easier to accomplish with the Rokstock. The flat bottom, properly sloped comb, grip and trigger reach, and overall hand carrying/shouldering ergonomics/balance/weight, give you an absolute advantage in every shot type you can think of.
This stock isn't "hype" or a "gimmick" to make a couple folks some bucks (which hopefully it does). It will absolutely help you get more hits down range and be a more proficient shooter/killer. If you are still waiting on a stock and are thinking of cancelling your order, I would highly suggest to wait patiently.
Feel free to check out my videos and photos in the Cold Bore Challenge Post #70, I took the time to video and explain each shot and field position and then did a separate video of the actual shots.

I have talked to lots of new Rokstok owners, and all have echoed your words. The only complaint is that some have to move from low rings to medium.
I am biased, obviously, but Tanya and I have been shooting a lot. We have been predominantly shooting Rokstoks, but the other day, we shot a Tikka in 6.5CM with a factory stock. After the first couple of shots, Tanya said it recoils too much, which I grinned at because she had just shot 15 shots out of her 6UM with a Rokstok on it.
