RokStok

I should have read this before I tried to pair my 0.68 taperless PVA with my Rokstok. Did you end up sanding it out?

Not on that stock, it's working well with a different barrel that still has life so its still sitting in the safe. I did have to on a different rokstok because the inlet around the front of the action and barrel shank was lousy.

I had contact with my .750 too. The 1.20 shank is to blame I think.

It sanded out fairly easily.

Mine measures 1.160" as spec'd by them for all tikka prefits according to the Owner in the below post. Still too much for the rokstok. Ideally they'd be more like 1.125".

I had UM take some material out when I sent my back for spacers with my PVA .68 taperless @Nine Banger. Confirmed with my friend he sanded out some too with his PVA .75 taperless. My guess is it's likely needed
This made me second guess myself because my gun is shooting 2" wide strings left to right that are 3/4-1" high...w/88s

But its not touching.

Looks closer in person.

The guy at McMillan added a 2.5" cyl to my 3b profile when I told him what i was doing. Sounds like he's been there done that with PVA. I wonder why they value that programming spec or if they didn't put as much thought into it as we are.

Interesting. Their website seems to contradict that (for the taperless profiles at least). Maybe they have changed it?

Mine is noticeably larger than the factory lite. I'll have to measure it the next time I have the action out of the stock.

I'd assume that's the generic shank dimension for most other actions and that drop down doesn't update when one selects a tikka action. 1.2 is a pretty standard shank dimension for sporter contours as most actions have a face that is over 1.250".

IIRC mine was fine on the sides but burned on the bottom of the barrel channel. Have you slipped some paper in there up to the action? I'd think the wood ones would have a chance of being inletted better than the lousy setup stocky's has.

IMO both stockys and PVA are unnecessarily flubbing this up. PVA can say they've seen factory barrels 1.17" but it aint the norm and they should just take a few more hundredths off the damn things. I dont know why stockys feels the need to make the inlets so tight around the face of the action and shank either.

I do believe that PVA has improved their methodology on contours though. It seemed like they never used to hold true to actual contour dimensions and would say it varies by length (which it did) but they didn't vary it by length consistently so who knows what you were going to get. At least based on 'hide posts, it seems they were going to hold contours consistent and not vary by length anymore.

I don't think this is a stocky's issue right now. I just tested a PBB and a McGowen Tikka prefit; they fit fine on the Rokstok.
 
Have there been any updates when we may see orders open again? Didn’t realize I wasn’t getting updates so I’m a few pages behind lol
Next week, UM will have non-railed Tikkas and railed Remingtons on sale. Stockys has these ready to ship to UM. Railed Tikka orders will reopen in mid-August.
