RokStok

[TaylorSnipesOutside]

Has anyone dropped a Bergara into a Rokstock?

Any update on when UM will open orders again? Looking to get a REM LA for my 300 wm. It’s a factory rifle Fierce and I absolutely hate the stock.

First RokStok/axis or did someone post one and I missed it?

Anyway, first time shooting close quarters, offhand stuff with the Rokstok. Worked great, recoil mgmt was awesome. I did have the stock and my headset interfering with each other quite a bit, which might be a consideration for someone who wears a headset frequently.

khuber84's response to you is spot-on. Bed a pillar for the front action screw and there's no need to bed your DM (unless loose fit/gapped around the inlet opening). Bedding a front pillar does not necessarily require bedding around the tang, front screw, or full receiver.

Hoping to be helpful, here's a list of 700 considerations based on my (1) Rokstok experience + what I'm seeing posted by others/PMs:

• The Accu-Block represented by Stocky's is meaningless if (1) the receiver sits too low, (2) there's space behind the recoil lug, and/or (3) the barrel sits too low in the channel
• If a barreled action sits to low, fair to guess that there will be a DM feeding problem
• I doubt there will be any need for a rear pillar
• If you need to buy a front pillar, be aware that there are different lengths per 700 SA, MA, LA - no matter, it's worth having all three sizes on hand in case there might be a height or feeding issue
• The bottom of the pillar is to be set flush with the bottom flat of the DM metal inlet
• Understand that pillars ensure ideal spacing for d-mag position and feeding
• Make sure you test your magazine feeding before bedding the front pillar
• Will likely need to buy a set of extra-length action screws, then grind to height
• Pillar drill bit is 9/16" and be sure to use a drill press and a vise

Suggestion to Rokstok stakeholders: Do like Manners and deliver 700 stocks with 9/16" holes for action screws, include a loose set of pillars for the new stock owner to make his own decision.

Note that the front pillar I used created the perfect height for barrel clearance and mag feeding, so ended up being an easy fix.

Am curious how many 700 Rokstok owners received a true drop-in. A tapered, larger diameter CF barrel might give a false sense of proper height if the fatter end of the barrel is sitting on the channel. Run a dollar under the barrel to determine whether the barrel floats in front of the lug.

Edit to add that washer/shimming around the front screw is a smart fix till making a pillar or bedding commitment.

I dropped a 243ai barreled action in my 700 rokstock. It's a rock creek rem varmint contour dupe, 1/4" lug and bottom metal is ptg stealth. Didn't bed it and have no issues. Feeds well from my mdt poly mags. I'll skim bed it this winter when I yank the barrel as it's about done. My next barrel will be a criterion remage sporter contour in 22cm
