RokStok

so many of these threads serve as examples why every other manufacturer does not interact with the public to the level of engagement and transparency that UM does. A lot of time of theirs has probably been wasted by stupid bitching.

I for one am incredibly grateful for the rokstock that I’ve had for about the last year. It has been an absolute joy to shoot, has better ergonomics than any other stock I’ve ever handled, and I smile every time I see it come out of the case. It puts my rifle into the magical carryable and shootable 9 pound range.

@Unknown Munitions and @Stockys, thank you for building the stock and doing a transparently for all of us to see. I know it is difficult, that there are people who are really frustrated that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, but there are those of us that really appreciate your time, money, and effort put into this product.

If they are updating the website for the weight they should update the lead time also. The 120 days seems to be a joke.

Got my Rokstok and nitried tikka from um a few days ago.
Have not shot it yet as im figuring out my scope mounting but I’m very happy with it.
Fit and finish is great.
Will be ordering up a lite version.

100%. I've watched top pros, experts, and manufactures in the firearms space jump on different forums over the years, share a bunch of immensely valuable information and insight, get 20% extremely positive engagement, 70% silent or neutral following, and 10% puke from $h*tbag neckbeards that just ruin threads with uninformed and inexperienced opinions, b*tching, attempts at status signaling, and unchecked trolling even.

And that is exactly why those industry people bounce right the hell on out of those places after months or even weeks - and why we need to keep each other in check here. Cultivate those industry members and this forum as a place they know they'll be welcomed for their insights and experiences, and to be treated fairly.

Nobody at a family BBQ is going to think you're "just being honest" if you're being an antagonistic @$$hole to a respected guest - just do the same here and act like you're at that BBQ. Legit questions and concerns have an obvious and apparent tone that's very different from the neckbeard behavior.

In reality, if UM was not as engaged on this space, they would not have near the revenue from the FOMO crowd (folks like me). I actually wish I had never joined RokSlide. I would have never heard of S2H, Form, RSS, or a miriad of other things that have caused endless debates with my peers and material $$$. I'd still be shooting my 300WM with the Gold Ring, chasing 3 shot groups to get that zero correct, doing load ladders and tinkering with other minutia. I would not have 5 RSS (65 CM, 6CM, and 223), no Revics, no guilt for not shooting a minimum of 1000+ rounds a year in real situations.

I would miss more and be less proficient, but I would be ignorantly happy and have things I would blame for my failures

I would also not have to be on the damn "waiting list" for the RSLite ... "hook, line, and sinker"

Ha Ha! So true. Have spent lots of time and money. Has been worth every penny and second. Not to mention how much fun I’m having. And yes, there has been a little frustration and second guessing.
Not there yet, but getting closer to calling myself a Rifleman.
