RokStok

[JDMBEND]

Looks great. What color is that?

Usmc red, graphite black with lots of exposed carbon. The action in there is just to get me by until my other parts show up. I am planning on cerekoting the barrel and action in similar fashion. UM did a great job on the cerekote.

My new one showed up on Thursday. Ordered 9/19 so 174 days total.

The finish on the last 3 have all looked great.

My 1st stock OTTH looks like a 3rd grader was handed the spray gun. I'm not much of one for looks so I bolted in the action and headed to the hills.

This new one is definitely heavier at 36.6 Oz. An earlier model with the same configuration was 5 Oz lighter.

The rokstok is great to shoot and I feel it's priced about right for what you get. Hopefully they can straighten things out and have a little more consistency with timeliness, weight and finish. All of my interactions with UM have been positive and watching the employees interact with each other and customers while checking out their wares at the Hunt Expo makes we want to continue to support their business. Maybe they should consider bringing stockmaking in house as ultimately you can only control what you build yourself.

That's very reassuring. at 1.5 oz heavier I'd say mine is within tolerance, assuming this batch is using something heavier, whether that be the resin, the carbon, or the foam filling.

Couldn't agree more. I've not had the opportunity to meet anyone from UM in person but all of my interactions have been great, and they genuinely are trying to bring products to market that solve problems hunters face.

I hope they do, but there may be a contractual obligation as part of the Stocky's "partnership." Could be a time element involved, so who knows.
