Dude, what do you mean by the quality of a factory Tikka stock? They’re ridgid, but that’s the only pro. The factory stocks are simply a low comb sporter mass production polymer stock. I have a Stocky’s VG. It’s perfectly fine, and much easier to shoot than a factory stock.
You haven’t shot with anything like a Rokstok, so you wouldn’t know. How do I know this? I haven’t seen a single stock with a close design to the Rokstok. Are there other negative comb stocks? Of course there are, but not like this one.
I have a December 2023 order that I'm doubtful ill have before a Feb 2025 hunt.
The lead time on these on the site needs to be adjusted. Tomorrow is 12 weeks for mine. Just as a heads up to anyone ordering.
oh I thought I read the wood guy couldn't keep up, that's good news, especially for the guy who wants an inlet for a sako 90, that price would reflect an equivalent level of quality to whatever you'd pull off the sako, reality not enough 90 guys will create the demand to likely inlet anything for a 90, that would get my attention though
IF you were to have an issue, Stocky’s will bend over backwards to make it right. They’re good people over there
I agree, I've tried to be clear, hopefully above post makes more clear? I actually have interest in this stock for my tikka but there's my first stocky's experience and 400 pages of verification...and it appears people at um and stocky's care to up the one weak area, the attention to detail, fit/finish final product quality so there's no lottery for a guy has to buy on spec from a long way away. I don't want something that is downgrade in quality to what came on the tikka to begin with...equal would be fine, equal would be maybe worth $100 more to me! The design is not the question, I'm keenly interested in trying one.
I gather this, glad to see American manufacturing getting back into the game with care, I'm not into going back and forth though, I'm a long ways from Florida.
thank you and my desire is to thoroughly enjoy watching the few critters a year I shoot get shot and get shot more than once lol, got 3 into my moose with the 90 peak 308 no brake no can pretty quick and that was great and saw more than I would have with the tikka, first one was done deal, I catch a thousand fish a year, but the game I shoot is much less so want to maximize that view shed and enjoyment, and on the sako I just need to wait until we're the 51st state so I can suppress and get that cake also by watching it happen as it's close, at this stage in life I want sako quality and I want to chuck 168's from a slow ass 308...I enjoy that sh1t, the sako would be fine with a tbac 5 and so I patiently wait, got the hard part done by getting that rifle, it's threaded and ready and killing awesome so far
yes, I'd likely prefer that construction over the carbon, it's the design I want, I would take the quality/fit/finish of a ruger American stock in that design, or the tikka material fit/finish/quality in that stock design...better fitting and rubber on recoil pad, and no abortions in finish/fit....I'd take the weight to have a more factory level of qc/fit/finish/quality...that's all, watching to see if this carbon gets there, looks like it might be there or awful close if not
well problem is I like the tikka stock, feels awesome to me, love vertical grip and I shoot it well, it's just a little kicky, it was eye opening shooting it against the lighter 90 peak and then seeing the difference in the design...so unless I can make jump to this more radical of the same type of 'design' to try it out without spending sako level money as I've already gone part way there on the design by spending sako money, but at least matching a more factory consistency level of what comes of the box to match the tikka at it's level....then that's all I'm watching for
