Nah I’m good hahaIf anyone wants a really high tech recoil pad, albeit a $90 very expensive recoil pad, call Backfire for their Backstop pad

Not for stocks apparently, itar items yes but they can ship stocks direct. Really strange what is /isnt allowed to ship direct. Been waiting 5 weeks to import my rs1.2 just notified this morning the permit is approved and should ship. Here's hopeing the stock isn't too far behind.Ordered it direct shipped to Canada? Thought you needed permit to get things like that over the border.
Awesome. Thanks for getting back to me on that. Good to hear nothing is needed to import the stock.Not for stocks apparently, itar items yes but they can ship stocks direct.

This will happen with a non-cerakoted action as well, especially if not properly loctite or paint penned in and torqued high enough. Recoil pins are the best bet for helping, but I can't see how the Cerakote would have been the root cause. I think adding Cerakote to the gun in general isn't ideal, if the mount slipped rear-ward with proper torque and bonding medium that's a bad deal.Haven't seen the video so not sure if this is what they're talking about, but the cerakote thing may be just a issue I noticed on mine. Recoil pin fixed it (should have done it in the first place), but just saying.

I don't think it was a root cause, but possible contributor and not ideal like you said. Admittedly I hadn't loctited them yet because I just got the rifle back from the smith and wanted to proof a load before I anchored everything. The bases actually slid forward from recoil (which still blew my mind as it's on a suppressed 6.5 PRC), that picture is when I noticed it while chamber checking some brass. It hasn't moved since with a recoil pin and retorque.This will happen with a non-cerakoted action as well, especially if not properly loctite or paint penned in and torqued high enough.

Nice! A pretty wood RokStok, a controlled-feed action and a leather military sling. In a week or so you will probably be recommending everyone should be shooting a 300 WM or they won’t be a real man… But seriously, that is pretty damned sexy and functional.
But the Leupold… ugh.
By gawd it’s got a gold ring on it you know they make som good glass
First rifle, first caribou, rokstok, UM, Alaska….. Lots of awesome in this post. Tell her congrats and good job.My good friend got her first 2 caribou with her first ever rifle a UM custom tikka in a Rokstok. 7mm-08 with 18” barrel. Both around 160 yards, one heart shot and one double lung. She was thrilled with the rifle and the 7mm-08’s performance.
Beautiful bou's. What bullet she use in the 7 08?My good friend got her first 2 caribou with her first ever rifle a UM custom tikka in a Rokstok. 7mm-08 with 18” barrel. Both around 160 yards, one heart shot and one double lung. She was thrilled with the rifle and the 7mm-08’s performance.
Barnes vor-tx factory ammo. 120gr ttsx. She wasn’t able to shoot much as she got the rifle 2 weeks before the hunt and she had a self imposed 200 yard max distance (she shot a few 1.5” groups at 200 before leaving for this trip) and I’ve had great success with that load on moose and caribou so that’s what I suggested.Beautiful bou's.
