I just picked up my first Tikka and am going to order a railed Rokstok when there is a run of them. What is your pattern called, that looks right.

I asked for the three color sponge, FDE, OD green and dark brown. I then added the khaki sponge myself.

Wife just did her own kind of drop test on my rokstock.

Leave it? Epoxy it? Superglue?

 

[Nine Banger]

Rocks?

I'd probably leave it or if its chippy with strands I'd smooth it out with a file or sandpaper so it doesn't catch and then call it good.

If it bugs you it could be bondo'd and taped off and hit with krylon.

One of my levels looks like that. Mine is from concrete.

As long as it’s not sharp or scratching you can leave it. I’ve epoxied a couple small spots on some of mine. Not a big deal either way.

Large epoxy/wood filler spot on my wood Rokstok near the toe has held up for more use than most guns see in their entire life. This was introduced by user error, the stock is insanely well made.

 

[Scottyboy]

Anyone still waiting on May orders, or just me?

 

[stevie]

Yes, I am also waiting.

 

[IrkedCitizen]

They are still working on railed Tikkas from that order. Cerakote seems to be the hold up

 

[Bonehammer]

Still waiting, I think they quoted 3-6 months so still in the time frame

 

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Just got the email for cerakote confirmation this week on my two ordered in May.

 

[stevie]

Same here

 

[AndrewMT34]

Went to the range and did some practice shooting kneeling off my pack/rock. 6.5 PRC in a rokstok is such a pleasure to shoot. Some first round hits on a coyote target a 622 yds.

If cerakote is as significant a pinch point as it seems, makes a guy wonder why not just have an option for stockys painting?

I don’t know that Ceracoat is a hold up, but Stockys doesn’t paint their stocks.

Cliff Gray had @Aaron Davidson on his most recent episode. Nothing really new to learn from the podcast but as usual, I appreciated hearing Aaron's thoughts on the importance of maximizing the shootability of your shooting system. Specifically, talking about the importance of spotting your own impacts, and maximizing your abilities in target acquisition. Posting here as Aaron speaks to the Rokstok specifically as part of his thoughts on the importance of negative comb and toe lines.

(Probably better for a different thread but there is also a bit of talk on drop testing. He acknowledges the good intentions of "drop testing" but caveats everything by stating that their internal data from rifle systems sold exhibits a lower failure rate for Leupold than for Nightforce. I'll stick to my tried and true NX8 but did find that data point interesting)

 

[Formidilosus]

Aaron stating their internal data from sold rifle systems shows a lower failure rate for Leupold than Nightforce)

Oh I’m sure.

 

[deerhunter628]

Oh I’m sure.

Are you insinuating that Aaron Davidson does not know what he is talking about or that he is intentionally misleading?

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Pretty sure there is bad blood between gunwerks and nightforce. So he will claim leupold is better

 

[tikkashooter88]

Just a guess, but since Gunwerks sells Leupolds on their systems and also has a Mark 5HD with Gunwerks designed reticle (RH1 MOA) that the owner of Gunwerks wouldn't crap on Leupold...
