RokStok

I just received my Rostock a few weeks ago and had similar issues with small imperfection on the stock and cerakote. Nothing that's a big deal but definitely not perfect. Besides that UM has been awesome with any questions/help. I haven't shot the stock yet but the design from UM, Form, and Ryan Avery is top notch, as people say with bows the rokstock is dead in the hands. I have had many other factory rifles and customs with stockys vg1, ag comp alpine hunter, and chalkbranch and without a doubt i like this stock better. FYI my Rostock weighed 30oz
It's dead in the hand and you like it better than other stocks you've used, but you've never shot it?

Yes currently waiting on a 25 saum barrel so put on. But dropping in the action and dry firing etc, it feels very stable. The trigger distance is noticeable, and the overall feel of the grip is good. Obviously hard to describe a qualitative attribute of a stock but there is some proof in the pudding its not a gimmick.

When someone refers to dead in the hand on a bow its on the shot…. I think thst what he was getting at.
 
I took my brother in law and his wife out to shoot today in the mountains. They are both from the UK. Julie has never handled a firearm before.

I got her set up prone on my Rokstok Tikka 223, using the Aziak Ridgeline tripod for the front, as the snow was quite soft. After some dry firing drills and just getting comfortable on the gun, she started with live rounds. 240 yards came easy. Next, she fired sitting from the tripod at a rock at 460. All 6 rds from the Waters magazine impacted.

Final shooting position was from the seat of the sled, using a Molinator in front and the Ridgeline tripod with a LS Wild mini bag on top for the rear support. Not exactly an easy position for a new shooter to manage.

First shot, at a basketball size patch of snow on a rock face at 865 yards, impacted just to the right. She was able to spot the impact, correct with the reticle by herself and the next round center punched it!

Basically, I think this just goes to show what a properly set up gun can do, even with a completely novice person behind it.

Is the a downside to getting a wider than needed barrel contour. Like running a sporter barrel in an inlet for a heavy one?
If you listen to @Formidilosus he says you want to be able to "throw a cat" between the barrel and stock. I agree with him. Ive had shitty stocks touch the barrel when leaned across a log or rest and it defiantly has an effect on the shot.
 
@Davidson51 Fierce fury is a sako 85 clone. I don’t think they are offering those. I have a fierce edge I’m trying to sell because I don’t care for the stock. I would buy a ROK in a second if they offered it.

Thank you, maybe someday they'll offer that inlet.
