RokStok

[waspocrew]

My Stockys VG for Howa mini needed the barrel channel hogged out despite ordering for the right contour.

My 5 Manners (all with mini chassis) have been bolt in and go (as a mini chassis should).

It’ll be a couple months before my Rokstok shows up, so still TBD.

Haven’t gotten around to ordering a Rokstock yet, but can’t imagine not bedding it. Same with any other aftermarket stock. If needed due to milling depth, I’d plan on drilling for pillars. That’s just how this stuff works.

I ordered a RokStok and unsure whether to hunt with it or if the stock is better served in a range role with a Tikka .223. Any input would be appreciated.

Ideally both. It’s the best field shooting stock I’ve ever used.

I have two Rokstoks, from two different production batches, and neither one has required any additional work to mount the action or BM.

I have three McMillans and two Bell and Carlsons, and all five of those stocks needed some work and bedding. For me, expecting any stock to be "true drop in" is about as dumb as a factory rifle with a sub-moa guarantee; you might get lucky but c'mon. Granted those weren't Tikka actions.

If they ever make a rokstock for the Ruger M77 then I'm sending that straight to the gunsmith. There's not a chance in hell it will fit and even less of a chance that I could fix it.

So, if I order a RokStok, I should assume it needs bedded?

Looks like you shouldn’t have to.

All of the above. I find it better for shooting from every position.

I think if you order one you should assume the goal posts to move a few times while you are waiting on it.

I don't think you should expect any Remington footprint action to drop in. Even a factory Remington can't keep scope mounting holes aligned. I would have expected an action that you can order a pre-fit barrel for to be uniform enough to be able to drop them in a stock.

I don't know how the one I got fit. By the time I finally got it I was so frustrated I got rid of it. I hated even looking at it, so unfortunately never even tried it.

But that's probably a me problem, I'm a cranky older bastard.
