Considering the absence of 700 input, here's a quick summary of my 700 medium RokStok. Am curious whether other 700 owners have better or similar outcomes (see tang description).
Specs:
- 700 medium w/#5 Benchmark, Spartan adapter, M5 bottom metal inlet, 2 flush cups
- Ordered 12/21, arrived 8/31
Observations:
- I like the stock more than expected! Will buy another in 700 SA once the production issues and bugs are worked out.
- Low ring height better than medium (in my case).
- Stock is lightweight/lighter than expected.
- Definitely NOT a drop-in. I'll have to do some relief work, add pillars, and glass-bed the receiver to level out the receiver teetering forward and keeping the ejection port cut aligned.
- Barrel channel and bolt inlets are nicely done.
- The M5 inlet is TIGHT! I hammered it in with a rubber masonry mallet.
- Receiver tang area is goofy/weird, but fixable.
- Don't expect Manners or McMillan fit/finish if not painted.

Barrel inlet - pleased, no issues

Tang - inletting stops 1/8" too short, tang is longer than inlet

Inlet for tang is odd/unusually steep and deep, will require extending tang area shape and bedding the entire action

M5 bottom metal reveal - bottom of metal extends 1/8" around actions screw holes, end to end
