RokStok

[HighUintas]

I am shooting one that is 27.7oz with a real recoil pad.

Is this one available to order now if communicated in the order, or will it be available for order in 2025 at that weight?

And can we get a sneak peek picture?

Yes.

Well, “any” is a tall task. However, he is doing one for a Blaser R8 now, and that is anything but simple.

I have a couple x bolts that I’d like to have done. They just ended up being more expensive than I thought they would be. I’ll continue to save.

Oh yeah. That’s easy.

Haven’t seen much on the wood Rokstok…..should be some out in the wild as 7/10 are sold. Anybody confirm weight and lead time?

Hey man. I have one in hand and have around 8 shooting days with it. Shooting side by side with the carbon Rokstoks. I've got the flu from literal hell since early last week and was hoping to get a bit more time behind the gun, but I am working on a quick write up on the wood Rokstok.

Some teaser details from my write up...

Bare weight (no trigger guard, no spacers) 31 OZ




All in weight: Tikka 260 Rem, factory stainless fluted 22.5" barrel, Maven RS1.2, UM Low Tikka Rings, High Desert Stainless Bottom Metal, Factory Plastic Mag with 3 rounds of 143 ELDX.



Before I remounted rings and moved the scope further back I left the gun as is, as this rifle was previously in a carbon Rokstok. There was no discrepancy in the rifles zero when moving from carbon to wood. No issues with inletting and I found that it liked 50ish" lbs with both metal and plastic trigger guards with both factory and waters magazines clipping in effortlessly at that torque.





The chip in the wood is user error when adding in the spacers. The bottom replacement (longer) number 10 screw was ever so slightly stripped when going in, so it was pulled and pre-drilled and epoxy added. It went in fine but felt like it may strip again upon tightening. I added in a redundancy wood screw below the bottom main #10 screw by predrilling and then screwing in. I should have used a 1/2" shorter screw as when I snugged it up, it chipped the stock. The chip has since been filled with a very thin, long cure time, hardened black epoxy and is good to go.

Full write up coming sometime soon.

It’s a custom wood stock- actual “custom”, someone is hand making them. Lead time is several months, which is silly short in the wood stock world.

Weight is 35’ish ounces- that’s a real 35oz, not a “best case”. There have been versions made that are sub 30oz. I am shooting one that is 27.7oz with a real recoil pad.

The carbon fiber ROKStok is legitimately excellent in design and function- however as I have stated since the very beginning, my goal was to get wood versions made for me. Wood is better at everything save cost, weight, and weather resistance in function. Properly done wood stocks however can correct the weight and weather performance.
I don’t know how to be more candid about this- if someone wants a lifetime quality stock, the wood RokStoks made as they are- are it. One that I have has the most surface level oil finish (read not what a production version would be), has spent days and days in the rain/snow/sleet, 2 weeks in SE Alaska in and around salt water- including being used briefly as a paddle, 4,000+ rounds so far of “my use”, been strapped to a pack/snow machine/atv’s/UTV’s/trailers/; 5 or 6 ice and snow freeze evals, etc. It has never been cleaned or re-oiled and has never lost zero.
I also have a poly finished stock that has nearly the same use, with the same outcome.

I was prepared to pay $3,000 plus for a proper wood stock and wait 2 years. At sub $2,000 and 4-5 months- they are an absolute steal.

I’ve been eyeing them since they dropped. 35 oz is not bad at all. Just trying to figure out what to build with it….redo my Fierce 300 wm with that stock or new build in a 338 Edge.

@mxgsfmdpx is that walnut or fancy walnut?

Thanks for the update and details - and get well soon!
