RokStok

[DangerRanger]

I have an RS1.2 on a stock Tikka with low UM rings. The chart on their website recommends lows and when I bought them in store at UM they confirmed.

I can see the top of my suppressor in the scope at low power and wonder if mediums would fix that.

Is it hard to get your face behind it?

I’ve been looking at my cam on low power for years, it magically disappears when you’re actually looking at something you want to shoot

No, I need a cheek riser to get high enough. But this isn’t in a Rokstock. Maybe they higher comb on the Rokstock makes mediums better.

I already have the UM Tikka lows. Do you know if they are comparable to the TO84 height?

Sorry, no. UM was the plan if the TO84 didn't work for me but I don't have any on hand.

You’re probably aware but the chart is for the traditional “how low can you go and have your objective clear your barrel”. His concern seems to be in regards to ring height that plays best with the rokstok comb.

My scythe is still visible with UM highs at low power on the rs1.2.

Same, I have a 1.75” dia can (nomad) instead of the more typical 1.5” and with the UM lows and RS1.2 I can see it up to 8x.

Think I might need mediums. Bummer I already paint penned em.

Does it interfere that much for you?

Hey @Formidilosus I was instructed by UM to order med height tikka rings for the rokstock rs1.2 combo. Sounds like on here a lot if guys are using lows. Still waiting on stock would you suggest waiting and trying the med I have or would you suggest I order lows while I wait?

Mediums or lows. About half prefer low, half prefer medium. Very few people that prefer low, that mediums are unworkable.

Mediums are a safe bet, and are my preference because the leather cheek piece goes on the stock and I need mediums to make it correct.

TO84 are a few mm shorter

I've only zeroed at 100 with it so far. Haven't tried any hold overs at medium power to see exactly how much it interferes. I'll check it out again this weekend.

Thanks @wind gypsy and @Formidilosus appreciate the feedback

I don’t think you will be bothered by it.

Anyone have the Rokstok with a SWFA, and if so, what height rings? I currently have low on with a 6x. Per @atmat I could add on a higher set to my order (which is starting to add up / I already have the Jimmy, knob and bolt handle to come when the stock arrives).

I have a Swiffer 3-15 in UM Lows on my T3x Lite 223 that’s currently wearing RokStok and love it.
3-15 is dimensionally quite similar to 6x I think.
I am of the tall long armed variety and typically like 14.25”-14.5” LOP in a ‘normal’ stock and run my scope further forward than the average so when adding my DIY spacers I pushed it out to 14.75” LOP on RokStok but part of that (besides having giraffe neck syndrome) is the mounting length/space available on the 3-15 and it’s long eye relief (IIRC at/over 4” and feels like more) too, even with the forward most ring positions with UM rings.

Got my PVA 6 creed barrel in yesterday and finally got to setup my Rokstock with UM medium rings and maven rs1.2. Feels great

 

[PBBananaHammock]

One down, one to go. Both ordered 12/21.

UM high rings. Tried highs and mediums. Preferred high. I rarely shoot prone and high felt better upright, and significantly better offhand.

EDIT: That’s an swfa 6x w/ the UM highs on the Rokstok btw. With the negative comb I could see anyone getting use to most any ring height they prefer. There’s plenty of reference along the face with the heal of the stock sitting so high.




Also put this pseudo RS together for the father in law…

Can you get a Rokstock with Tikka CTR inlet?

Got out this morning to finally shoot my rokstock and 6 creed and it feels great.
Really happy with the PVA barrel and the stock. First 10 round group was 1.4in with 108eldm
Only 30 rounds through it right now and at 20in I’m getting avg of 2792fps.

On the other side something I’m not super stoked about is when I went to go shoot the gun I got cut by the carbon on the stock. It has never been used, dropped or hit anything before this.

Not sure what to do about it right now as I don’t want it to get worse.

In this photo it looks like the seam is starting to de laminate. Let me know what I should do. Anyone else having this issue?

Plenty of guys would say it doesn’t bother them or just to use it. If it were my stock, I’d start by calling UM and likely return it.

Just my opinion though.

That’s going to get worse with use. Call them Monday morning for sure.

While you’re waiting and want to shoot it throw some tape over it.

That ain’t gonna get better with time. Call Jake.
