I'm shooting a rokstok at 14.5 LOP(I'm 6'7"). Even the short people that have shot it ( @Mountain_Life haha) seem to prefer it over no spacers. On the other hand I could shoot it without LOP spacers but found it to be very uncomfortable.

I'm 5'6". I started shooting my Rokstok without any spacers last spring, but after using @kopmantrey Rokstok with 14.5" LOP, I ordered a spacer kit. After some testing, 14" LOP seems about right for me. That's with a SWFA 3-15 in UM medium rings. It is definitely gonna be different for everyone but if I was ordering another stock it would be with a spacer kit.

I would also be interested in knowing if I could add spacers myself or if I need to send in. My stock has Philips heads.

Just replace with longer Phillips number 10 screws. You’ll just need to grind or file off the “line up tab” in one of the spacers for flush fit.

Here’s my post showing the difference in adding spacers to standard 13.5” stocks and removing or adding spacers to stocks that came with spacers from UM…

For those wanting to do it themselves, it works fine, but is not as solid as adding the t nuts and longer screws. I’d recommend globing your screws with epoxy and being very careful when installing as to not strip out.

I made the suggestion to make all of them “spacer ready” from the factory at least 6-8 months ago so it’s great to see that all rokstoks will come that way in the future.

I know a while back while you were waiting on spacers you ended up using a larger limb saver pad. Do you happen to know the model for that pad and how much it added to the LOP?

I’m 6’2” and all my RokStoks are set up at 14.5” (3 spacers).

I only ever used that on the Stockys VGs. I linked it here before but it have to search for it when I’m back home.

I assume getting the longer length of pull without the spacers is not possible unless they make new molds? I guess you could do a thicker recoil pad too.

For me using 1 spacer for 13.75 Lop is about right wearing late season hunting clothes. 2 spacers for 14” Lop with t-shirt works. 14” felt better prone but 13.75 felt more versatile in more shooting positions. Could use either or effectively. I think UM has the right idea with now making 1 spacer standard. My suggestion is they add 1 or 2 more as well with each stock for those on the fence. They’re just pieces of plastic…
