RokStok

maybe I missed it, but what's the estimate on the Rokstock lite being available again? I'm torn between another Rokstock or waiting for the lite.
Thanks
 
disregard on the Rokstock lite ETA, found in another thread. Still a good ways out, end of summer or more
 
Any recommended tutorials a guy should visit on bedding bottom metal? I've never done it and hate to eff it up.
Not really, it was much more of a thing back in the day when we were all using timber stocks and rifles with 2 piece bottom metal like Rugers and M70s.
Often the wood compressed in front of the trigger guard at the middle screw and the floor plate wouldn’t shut so you had to build it up with thin washers then glue it all up.

Now that we are mostly using detachable mags it is more about establishing the correct depth for the magazine to click in and feed.

It seems like a lot of blokes just file the tab on the back of the mag, but then it is only suited to that particular gun, I prefer to set the floor plate depth so the standard mags work across all my guns
 
Yes, maybe a bit blunt on wording. @Stockys @Unknown Munitions - Has there been any updates to the tikka inlets on the rokstoks? Mine are both early run stocks. I don't understand why the inlet hugs the face of the receiver and is so tight on the barrel shank. It just seems to create unnecessary potential for stress in the bedding and contact with barrel shanks. Even the "Tikka Lite" contoured ACE i have in it seemed tight in the shank, PVA prefits burn hard and require opening up the inlet. This is with Sendero contour barrel channels and sporter steel barrels, there still isn't enough clearance.

Both mine are Linear. Seems to work fine with factory M+ mags on the 6 creed in a rokstok but the 223 doesn't play nice with waters mags and I cant even find my factory 223 mags.

Maybe you cover this in the waters mag review thread you created. I'll have to revisit because right now the 223 is not feeding well. It fed great in factory stock/bottom metal.
It was changed in early August.

I need to revisit that thread myself and type up some updates.

I had a recent one (got to me in March I think ) that had to be sanded to get it to fit. Bare Action fit fine, but a barreled action didn’t. UM was very helpful as usual and got it taken care of 👍
 
Just got mine in. Initial thoughts are that it feels surprisingly good and natural in the hand and while shouldering. I think I'm going to have to relieve some around the shank for the 1.2" PVA.

My rear action screw is now proud at 50+ lbs of torque. What have you guys found as a solution? Shims?

Shims or filing down the end of the screw a kiss both work fine.
