RokStok

[VirginiaBeach]

If the word is that the rokstock light is coming in 2025 is there an eta on the wood rokstocks?

Was thos supposed to be helpful or just useless

Genuinely meant to be helpful, as others have explained. You gain nothing other than aesthetics between a carbon barrel and a normal steel barrel.

But a steel barrel you can have made to exactly what you want and still be cheaper than a Proof prefit, which comes in a length you don’t want.

I have read commentary from a very knowledgeable person that there tend to be a higher % of bad barrels with carbon versus straight steel. That was enough for me to buy a steel replacement if and when needed.

I just want to know when my RokStok will ship!! Ordered December 21st.

Has anyone been able to get the leather cheek piece and LOP spacers?

It’s worth the $20. All my rokstoks will have one

I’m not even talking about the crackhead Rokslide customer(myself included). There are conversations in that shop with customers that are absolutely comically insane.

and you are correct this thread is meant for feedback so I will add this. I can find imperfections on every brand of stock in Jakes shop. Carbon stocks are hard to make cosmetically perfect.

We need stories.

Looks good. Do you find the leather affects cheek weld height? As in, if you would normally go low rings without leather do you find you need to go medium with?

Just to be clear the 90 day lead time that is stated on their web page is inaccurate?

Ok got it, the additional information definitely makes the original comment helpful.

No. We all ordered before production on the stocks was even setup. I believe the 90 days applies to stocks ordered after production began.

Yes that discussion got buried about 1000 posts ago. They updated to state they were about 5 weeks behind the 90 day estimate, but a lot of us that ordered December 21st are still waiting.

I wouldn't order one now that I was depending on for a hunt this fall. The benefit is that all the kinks are being worked out on the SOBs that already got theirs

We’ll see. I ordered mine on 3/7, so if the 90 days holds true, I only have a little over 3 weeks until mine shows up.

I thought they walked that promise back and never updated the website?

Could be. Probably best to just call UM like a normal human and not listen to me on the internet haha.

Pretty sure on the podcast they said, yes the original flood of orders are pushing past the 90 days because of the volume. But future orders should be filled within 90 days.

Post #4,132, #4,133 for more.

Haha, thanks for the clarification. I am looking to get into a new stock for november. .y wife always says I over think and procrastate, but I'm still trying to figure out what she means.

What bolt handle is that?

I mean, if it's the stock you want, don't delay ordering it. The first wave of orders was probably massive and they'll catch up soon.

However, you can do pretty well with a Stockys VG in the meantime, and many of us have those we'd be willing to sell at a pretty steep discount...

If you figure 300 Tikka stocks got ordered on 12/21 and they have 3 molds that can produce 10 stocks each week which means the first day of orders will take 10 weeks/70 days from finalization of molds. Which those stocks will technically be within the 90 days that they said.

So.... which date was determined to be when production kicked off full swing?

 

[swavescatter]

I think this production timeline semantics is not worth much discussion, honestly. This is why most companies choose not to do transparent product engineering!

I love that approach and how the community has been kept in the loop. I paid my money and expected UM's production hubris to be way off and I'm OK with that. I just hope they don't keep product development behind the curtain next time (and maybe just refuse to comment on timelines until production has ACTUALLY started).

I think I funded a Kickstarter in 2015 that still hasn't shipped but sends yearly updates. LOL
