RokStok

[wind gypsy]

LOP is fine for me on standard rokstock. I'm 5'10 but must have a stubby neck because I need to mount my scope further back than most. The one thing about the rokstock i'm not sold on is how steep the negative comb is. I'd rather comb height not change that much based on how forward your head is on the stock.

I wish I had not seen this.

In my head: "you don't need that. You are better than this." Also in my head: "But if I order the wood Rokstok, maybe it will be delivered around the time that Tikka releases a 6mm CM."

I love your optimism that both might happen at the same time.

But I also figure - whichever arrives first would still be a win.

I can effectively shoot the Rokstoks at standard 13.5" LOP all the way up to 15" LOP without any issue. For what it's worth, I haven't been measured in a while but I'm somewhere between 6'1" and 6'2".

After shooting 8 personal Rokstoks side by side at different LOP's for thousands of rounds I've now landed on all of them having 3 of the 1/4" spacers added for a 14.25" LOP.

At this LOP it's a tie between shooters wanting medium and low UM Tikka rings.

To clarify for me the standard length is fine w a SWFA 3-9 and low rings, it’s the Maven 1.2 that I had to push all the way forward and still pull my head back to get the sight picture instinctively.

I agree with this. After using the RS and the Echelon CF Versa, I prefer the less aggressive change in comb of the CF Versa. I've used the RS with UM Highs and UM Lows...both were useable, I just had to slide the scope forward for the Lows and move my weld forward. I like both of the stocks, each has pro/con's that may work better for different individual's.

Here’s one in the wild.

Improvised use of the SSS pillow.

Took around 10 seconds to make a hit.

Do they make a thicker recoil pad that you could install instead of spacers?

Stockys advised I could get a grind to shape/fit option for $80(?)

The 1” pad adds 1/4” compared to the standard

I was with Jake and Ryan today. We spoke about the mods that have to be done for the spacers. I believe they are going to look to adding threaded nuts in all stocks as soon as they can, so that people can add spacers if they wish. It will add .25” to the LOP- so base LOP with be 13.75”. This should not be an issue, as they way the stock is designed, it allows a significantly longer LOP for people than normal.

That sounds good. So to add spacers now i need to send my stock back to UM?

Would this include upcoming shipments or is this future orders? I’ve got a June order that should be coming up in the next month or so

You can have them do it or do it yourself.

You have probably already explained it, but could you give details on what needs to be done to do it myself? Thanks

I have a post in this thread showing how I’ve done it on multiple stocks. Let me find it.

When I emailed stockys about getting spacers they wouldn’t sell me them.

Call them and talk to Jessica. That’s how I got mine from them.

If you only need a small amount I can send you some. PM me.

 

[rbutcher1234]

I would also be interested in knowing if I could add spacers myself or if I need to send in. My stock has Philips heads.

 

[Dunky]

I recently sent mine in for them to install spacers and had it back in a few weeks.

 

[rbutcher1234]

Ok I like this. I’ll call them Monday.
