IIRC it was a different fill and shaved off ~8oz?

Nice. Wonder when we'll see an order form for it?
I believe sometime in 2025

Well I hope to hunt with this rifle in 2025, so I think I'll move ahead with ordering a regular. Don't think I'll have trouble selling it in 2026 when my lite arrives lol

Is Michael still there? I ask because of recent emails and I called the number in one of his prior emails and it seems to be disconnected. (Although based on my day so far, this could be another “me issue”.)

Has anyone received a 700 long action yet?

LA are last of the 700 to be run as I understand and that nobody has got one yet.

Alright, about an hour ago I ordered a Rem 700 SA with Arca Rail and the "Untamed Backcountry" cerakote scheme. I was almost on the Tikka train, but I already have very nice Rem 700 clone rifles, a Terminus Apollo Lite 6.5 PRC with a Proof Sendero and a Falkor LW7 22CM with a Proof Sendero. Figured it'd be nice to swap everything around if I wanted too. Plan is for this to be used on a 6CM though, ordered a McGowen 18" Douglas #2 this morning than I plan to pair with another Falkor LW7.
I haven't received tracking on my stock yet though, who's house do I burn down?

You'll have the your new stock in 90 days or 9 months whichever is closer to your stock being finished.
Got my rokstock before my bogo 22 suppressor which took 9 months just to ship to my dealer, hope the form 4 is quick!

Well folks, got an update on my new stock that just arrived today (not sure if it's the order number or serial number written on the inside of it but it's number 181866). @Stockys @Unknown Munitions @Ryan Avery
Inletting is perfect and recoil lug height matches a factory Tikka lug sitting next to me. It's a coated or painted black lug this time, looks more like a factory Tikka, different from the silver mountain tactical one that came in my first RokStok.
Zero issues getting it to fully seat using a brand spanking new, stainless, cerakoted, Tikka action and barrel.
For folks having recoil lug/action seating issues...
It is a VERY tight inlet which is a good thing, but this can make for getting the action to sit on the lug a bit trickier.
.You'll want to turn the stock upside down in your lap and go ahead and tap in your bottom metal or bottom plastic.
.Tap the bottom metal as far towards the front of the stock as it can, this gives you the most possible room to pull the action forward.
.Having a scope already mounted helps as it gives you a nice handle.
.Slide the barreled action into the top pushing it as far forward as you can (to where the trigger doesn't let you push it any further forward.
.This should land you properly over the lug, or just SLIGHTLY needing to slide the action towards the back, you'll feel the action slot "snap" into the lug.
.Pinch the stock and action together with your left hand so it won't move.
.You should have paint pen on your action screws ready to go in.
.Start with the rear longer screw, and torque it down just enough to where you start feeling it "pull up" on the barrel. Again, using your left hand keep tension on it to hold in place.
.Once you feel the barrel start to slightly pull up, you need to switch the front screw, maintain your left hand pressure.
.Start your front screw now and pull down/forward on the barrel hard, by pinching the stock and barrel together with your left hand. Go ahead and run the front screw in to 45-65" lbs ( I use 65" lbs). Keep squeezing as you tighten, you'll feel it pull into the lug properly.
.Move your pinch pressure to the middle of the action or scope and torque the rear screw to the same torque.
When fully seated properly, it will "cut off" part of the Tikka T3X and serial number on the gun just slightly. If yours is still high, remove the action screws and try again with more forward and downward pressure as you tighten the action screws. See 2 different RokStok fully seated photos below...
Grip for forward/down pressure while tightening action screws:
Pinch/Pull HARD as your tightening, don't be afraid!
When fully seated you gun serial number on any standard T3X should be partially cut off like these two RokStoks...
