RokStok

[SamsonMan22]

Within the last week and a half. Not meant to be a comment about any wait, this could take months and I knew that. I’m just super stoked about it.

Im 16 weeks in and no stock, plan on being a while.

Walnut is the way.

I'm one of the jamokes who ordered a green Rokstock back on July 1. Wish I'd ordered 2 considering how long it may take to get a second!

You can go fondle it if it makes my 22CM shoot better

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

View attachment 834599


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.

That looks amazing!!!!

A man after my own heart. Nothing beats a beautiful wood rifle stock that doesn't nag.

That is apart of the review as well. It's really well done but VERY aggressive on my stock in particular.

For barehand work it's great, but I shoot a lot with thin merino fingerless gloves, both in Summer due to extreme AZ heat and Winter when it's cold in the mornings.

It is so aggressive that the wide pattern sewn thin merino catches and frays on the grip areas, and doesn't allow my off-hand to freely slide up and down the grip area of the stock. I very lightly sanded the grip areas down just a bit and resolved that issue. With leather or other material gloves it's not as bad as the merino gloves.

I would still order with stippling as it's excellent and needed, just a bit aggressive on mine. A few minutes properly sanding and it's just right now.

Video from when it was new...

Video is showing as "private" for me ... do you need to change some settings?
