Vortex defender caps. The front is 44mm, a touch larger than the 6x42. Still works, just not as perfect of a fit as the back cover… i like that it taunts my OCD and shows it who’s boss.

When they inevitably break like every other flip cap, at least they are warrantied.

They do add a bit of black shadow around the scope view. Which I don’t like on scopes that have a solid edge to edge image, but the 6x42 does not have that attribute, so it’s barely noticeable.
I can vouch for the warranty. They sent me a replacement cap when the rubber on my original wore out.

Thank you!

12/22 order, single color

FML

I was told my railed Rokstok has been at UM since 8/16. Bare carbon so it must have been a QC issue or they’re just not going in order at all.

Considering the absence of 700 input, here's a quick summary of my 700 medium RokStok. Am curious whether other 700 owners have better or similar outcomes (see tang description).

Specs:
  • 700 medium w/#5 Benchmark, Spartan adapter, M5 bottom metal inlet, 2 flush cups
  • Ordered 12/21, arrived 8/31
Observations:
  • I like the stock more than expected! Will buy another in 700 SA once the production issues and bugs are worked out.
  • Low ring height better than medium (in my case).
  • Stock is lightweight/lighter than expected.
  • Definitely NOT a drop-in. I'll have to do some relief work, add pillars, and glass-bed the receiver to level out the receiver teetering forward and keeping the ejection port cut aligned.
  • Barrel channel and bolt inlets are nicely done.
  • The M5 inlet is TIGHT! I hammered it in with a rubber masonry mallet.
  • Receiver tang area is goofy/weird, but fixable.
  • Don't expect Manners or McMillan fit/finish if not painted.

Barrel inlet - pleased, no issues

Tang - inletting stops 1/8" too short, tang is longer than inlet

Inlet for tang is odd/unusually steep and deep, will require extending tang area shape and bedding the entire action

M5 bottom metal reveal - bottom of metal extends 1/8" around actions screw holes, end to end

Yikes, my dude. Hopefully they get the 700 inlet figured out.

I’ve got a hunt at the end of October I need my manners for. I plan on selling after the hunt & ordering one of these if they are for sale by then

My sa 700 stock did not look/fit like that at all. I pulled a rifle and m5 bottom metal from a mcm a5 and bolted it in the rokstok. Shot some groups and that rifle shot the same as it did in the bedded mcmillan.
