RokStok

[Schmo]

Glad y’all have been discussing this. I’ll order mine with pic only

 

[Schmo]

Well, just submitted the order for my first RokStok. I’m excited, and hopefully the 120 days isn’t too long!

Has anyone used the stock in PRS style matches? Wondering if the design features make up for the lack of weight the stock has (compared to other heavy chassis)

I am switching my bravo out for a non scalloped RS with a full ARCA rail to shoot sportsman this year.

That could be a good call to shoot sportsman’s. Bummer the stocks are 3-4 months out

Sportsmans class is the only class I'd consider shooting it unless you're fine with making things harder on yourself than necessary or just want to practice with something closer to a hunting rifle. Beyond recoil management, you're just not going to be as stable on bags as you would be with a more dedicated heavy stock/chassis.

@NSI what are you doing for mags? AICS bottom metal or waters mags?

Curious why the full arca rail on the stock?

And are you adding some weight to the stock or leaving the weight and balance as it is?

Got an email this morning that Hawkins had released Tikka Hunter DBM Bottom Metal. Might give it a try on my next build.

Tikka Hunter DBM Bottom Metal - Hawkins Precision

The Tikka Hunter DBM bottom Metal is designed for Tikka shooters looking for a flush mounted bottom metal that will accept AICS or Hawkins Hunter magazines.

Ooooh that’s awesome! SA mag lets you have 2.98”! They also offer a 2.5” 223 mag. Let’s go!

Heard on STH that they are also going to put out their own aluminum bottom metal that takes factory Tikka mags.

This is a big deal for hunters wanting a flush mag solution, especially for long action and short magnum cartridges. It may even have application for the 223 guys given reliability of 223 feeding out of AICS vs tikka plastic. I'll get some to test.

Superior bag riding, adjustability on tripod and sitting height bipod, single surface for lack of snagging. This is a gamer setup. No weight tweaking required with a sitting height bipod attached.

I just got an AB 10 can with the 5" reflex. Barrel is 16.5", sits in a rokstok and the reflex hits the front of the stock before fully threading on.

Any reason I cant lop like 1/2" off the end to make room for the reflex, other than looks? I assume the end will be ragged but I can cover that with epoxy or something to clean it up

Nevermind. Chop saw worked good. Slow and steady, real clean cut.

I called them earlier today. It only fits their proprietary inlet.

Good intel. Figured as much. The reality is that all of these non-Standard bottom metals are their own inlet, even if they are advertised otherwise. They all need to be scanned and cut.

I think it would be wise for companies to bite onto this. Aics mags have many options and long term are much more reliable than tikka mags from what I have experienced. A viable aics option with a flush mag option in a tikka has been needed for a long time.

I used to hate aics mags. I hate misfeeds and dumped mags more though.
