Yall are 100% right.
He did say preorders though UM's website.
I apologize.

All good! Was just trying to aid discussion!

@Formidilosus could you give a little insight on the grip? I found the stockys VG to have too-small of a scallop for the muscle on my thumb/palm—even when I leave my thumb on the side of the stock, the scallop between the grip and the comb isnt nearly deep or large enough to provide sufficient relief so I’ve found it difficult to avoid adding unneccessary torque to the stock. It also makes it awkward to wrap the grip when carrying at the ready. As a crossover hunting/shooting stock the ability to wrap my thumb when carrying the stock at port arms is important, so wondering if this will have a grip that’ll keep us Eastern crossover hunters happy, or if this is really erring on the side of a “dont ever wrap your thumb” shooting-focused stock more similar to the grip on the VG?

The ROKstock will not have the flare that the VG does at the top of the grip and comb junction that pushes your thumb out. A pretty decent idea for the top of the grip is to look at the Gunwerks Werkman rifle grip.

Looking forward to getting my hands on these (yes I intend to order multiple).

Don’t need anymore rifles, but if someone starts making 6UM brass that doesn’t have to be fire-formed, I’ll probably have to build one for fun with a Rok Stock

Unknown munitions is fire forming it now and having head stamped brass made early next year.

Peterson or one of the other premium brands. I can't remember.

Welp. I guess I’ll be putting in an order.

 

[roosiebull]

It will be sold through UM, they stated that in the podcast. Max price was stated to be $595 but they are hoping to get it down a little if possible. I think Jake should build one for @Ryan Avery in 6.5 creedmoor right off the bat!

Dang, at that price I’m going to be pre ordering whether I have a rifle to put in it or not. That’s good news, and am supremely confident it will be a great option with the people involved in designing it

I've got 1 rifle but planning on ordering 2 to start.

I was a bit confused in the podcast. Are they adding an arca rail? Huge turnoff for me if so, but I’m excited to see the end product nonetheless

You'll be able to use ARCA or pic. I've been telling Jake they should put the salmon river solutions arca/pic rail on the front. They don't take up much more space than just a picatinny rail and they're so versatile.

 

[DangerRanger]

I don’t understand what the use of arca that far forward of the balance point is but I also never use it so I’m sure I’m just ignorant.

I personally will avoid something 1.5” wide up at the front of a thin handguard if possible.

 

[snopro176]

Flush pic up front and a flat spot in front of mag for an arca IF you decide to add one
If I had it my way that is

Really hope it’s just a stock without any arca bs or pic or anything let the end user make any adjustments they want.

I believe @LivetohuntID already confirmed on the other thread that it’ll come with an SRS rail.

If it’s the short flush in a scallop then cool but I’m not down with the long arca pic rail. Not only do I not use arca I despise metal forward of the mag well

I'm in for one no matter the rail or flush cups/studs. I want the negative comb and grip. All else is a wash.

I think the direction they are headed with the option for the scalloped forend and rail will provide a great hunting stock for most people, but it won’t check all the boxes for everyone. The scalloped forend with the pic rail allows for the use of picatinny bipods. I also use a tripod with a ball head that accepts both picatinny and arca. If I have the time to set up a shot with the tripod, I can clip in on the front and use hiking poles or a pack to support the rear to create a super stable platform. If I don’t have the time for that kind of set up, I can shoot directly off a pack or other available support without having the rail get in the way. This set up with the scalloped forend also allows you to carry the gun at the balance point without being sharp, cold and uncomfortable. To me, the set up they are planning is just about perfect. Others may prefer something else and that’s fine.

Interested as well. I like the simplicity of the economics.
