The Instagram posts are fun. Seems like some people need to go tell the counselor where UM, Avery and Form have touched them.....

What is the consensus on bedding actions, will it be necessary/recommended? Yes, I searched and couldn't find the answer.

TBD. But ideally they’ll shoot excellent without bedding.

Shouldn't be necessary. There is another thread discussing the VG and the answer lies in there.

Are the front action screws going to work with this stock? I've run into a few stocks the strip the front screws because the bedding block is too high. I now own a tap for those and longer screws just in case.

Good thing I had my crocs strapped in when I saw this or I would have lost them.

How long to you expect the pre-sale to run?

It’s going to sell out faster than a Taylor Swift concert…if it’s for the first run of 100 I bet it’s less than 15 mins.

I was assuming the presale was for more than just the first 100 stocks.

You’re probably right and I missed it along the way…

There are only 100 of the limited edition stocks the green and yellow. Presale is going to be for more than that. They did say they may have to stop it if the number gets way out of control.

Jake mentioned in a previous post that they are using the presale to determine how many molds to have built, which gives them an idea of long term lead times. Memory says something like a mold can make two stocks per day x how many molds = how many they can build per day. Add in all the other logistical parts of manufacturing and that means it will be XYZ weeks to have stock delivered to your door.

Can someone explain why some stocks are “drop in” like the Rokstok and KRG and why some are bedded like Manners and Alterra?

The compression strength of the foam is what stockys has said.

Meaning? The foam is stronger than the bedding compound? I thought the purpose of bedding was to create a solid continuous point of contact that ensures the action never moves. In that case, the material of the stock would be irrelevant because any bedding would increase the consistency and accuracy of the rifle - especially one that is getting dropped and used hard. Right?

I know this was discussed in the Tikka VG2 thread but I can't remeber the full explanation.

Here's their explanation, maybe @Stockys can chime in.

 

[TheCougar]

I would be interested in what @Formidilosus and @Ryan Avery do, especially with the rifles that are getting dropped repeatedly. If there is gain to be had in bedding a stock like the Elk stock, why not do it?

The proof is in the pudding. A couple folks in the vg thread shot before and after bedding and didn't have any difference in group sizes. Seems like stockys put in the effort to make this a drop in for a reason.

When it comes to bedding if a stock/chassis is done right, there seems to be more of a concern with zero retention than impact on ability to shoot tight groups.

Yes, this is my primary concern. I don’t think accuracy is improved noticeably, but consistency durimg field use - drops, riding on a quad or backseat, etc.
