RokStok

Yes. Talked about it tonight.

For short action too? Jake told me they had issues with the short action fitment or mold so they just didn't offer it. I'd be stoked to get one but if not I'll start saving for the wood version.

I believe they are trying to work that out on the SA.

Is there an issue with the M70 long action Rokstoks currently? They are available on the website and I have 1 ordered.

Not that I have heard, it was just the short actions hence why they are NOT available to order.

My understanding is that the M70s require some final fitting that the Tikka's dont. Which seems pretty much inevitable given the slight variations on the M70 actions over the years.

Mine is still sitting in its box, cant make up my mind which of the M70s it will go on or if I should sell it. When I ordered the stock I had 1 Tikka and 4 M70s and now have a pretty good stable or Tikkas only 3 M70s. The 270 and 338 are staying as is for sentimental reasons, I dont hunt with them anymore anyway. The 300wm would greatly benefit from a rokstock but I also have zero use case for a 300 wm so might just sell it. If I do I will sell the stock as well so never bothered with trying to mess with fitting.

On a scale of 1-gay, what do people think of this paint job? Huge debate here at my house and with my hunting crew?

I’m assuming you put your 2 year old on the project?

It’s a 7 on the gay scale.

If your son painted it- then it is a 1 and bad ass.

I let him pick the colors and do the “sponge”. Tough to let them do it sometimes. Overall I thought he did okay picking out colors that went decent together.

But I’m trying to decide if it is super gay and I get raped at camp, if it’s worth keeping the paint or starting over.

Makes me think of David Bowie. Badass.

I was thinking recently of having my daughter paint some pictures on mine

Daughter has already picked out the turquoise and purple paint for “her” .223.

Leave it. I think the kid did a great job

I find stock painting to be way more fun when you get others involved. It also gets them excited to use/handle/carry it way more when they go shooting and that reason alone makes it a compelling reason to let them have full artistic freedom over the whole process no matter the outcome.

I've taken my GF on several dates to the hardware store to let her pick out paint so she could make a stock her own. Now her paints jobs are off the chart on your gay-ness scale, but I have no plans to paint over them and probably enjoy shooting/hunting with them even more than my non-painted stocks. The sheer amount of laughs that were had throughout made the whole thing well worth it
