Stocky’s Hunter VG Tikka stock

[lak2004]

I think they are only going to be offered through Unknown Munitions, not Stocky's.

The stock on this thread is the stocky vg. Unknown munitions will be carrying the rokstock made by stockys that is still in development.

I just bought my first Tikka and I’m very interested in getting one of these. Are there any current discount codes?

You can use coupon code 30rokslide to take 30% off

Does anyone know how long the back order is? Some of the camo patterns are on back order.

Depending on which finish you choose we quote about 6-7 weeks for production. A lot of times it does come in sooner though. We outsource finishing so that's where most of the lead time comes from.

That time frame works for me. Thank you!

They'll probably try to move as many these stocks they can, since the profit margin will likely be less with all the rokstock units going to UM.

I don’t think that’s the case. RokStock will undoubtedly cost more. Stocky’s has always offered exceptional pricing. Last year during a sale I think they were marked down to like $380.

I believe UM said they’re trying to keep Rokstok at $600.

My initial concern with it being sold through UM would be that it adds another entity needing to take a cut. But $600 isn’t terrible, and they did so much of the design work, that it totally seems fair.

That will affect overall sales volumes not gross margin per unit sold.

I have two of these stocks and also will be buying two rok stocks. It's an excellent stock overall especially at the price point with rokslide discount.

They are acting as a dealer, buying in bulk for a discount and the selling for MSRP. It's a win/win for both companies using that business model.

Correct. Which is why I said the markup is fair, particularly given it’s a one-off product that they helped design.

While the tikka is the most popular on this site, we do sell other models and inlets so as far as we’re concerned it’s all the same to us. We do oem and retail so it evens out at the end of the day.

Also, we took on this project to help the community and bring something to market that wasn’t offered. When Ryan approached me we were more than happy to help.

UM is buying production volume at likely a lower profit margin than they're selling Tikka vg stocks at retail. Otherwise how is UM going to make money? Rokstock is going to take up time in their production queue it a smaller net return as UM is buying at bulk discount. This time in production lost of stocks that will have a higher profit margin can only be overcome with bulk quantity sold to UM at the lower profit margin. I'm sure they've penciled it out, the rokstock production will likely put a dent into availability of their other products, so buy soon if they're available!

Yes.

Thanks for notifying of the black friday sale. First the stock is absolutely tight. No sanding or anything. The weight reduction is what I needed compared to my Iota Evo and now my whole rig including VX5HD3-15x weighs under 8 lb! I'll be ordering again. Brian

You can use bondo, moldable beads, etc. This is what I will be trying next-

Did you ever end up building up the grip on your stock? Curious how it turned out.

I have not. The ROKStok came about.

For anyone wondering I reached out to stockys about cutting down their stocks and they said the wrapped carbon underneath the butt pad was less structural and more so there was something to screw the pad too. I cut off 3/4” off mine, filled the butt with spray foam, filled the final 1/8th inch with epoxy and then glued the original recoil pad back on. It’s technically a non sandable recoil pad, but it sanded well enough. Stock was 23 ounces when I got it, with it cut down 3/4”, filled with spray foam and 1/8” of epoxy it ended up weighing 24.9 ounces. I was pretty happy to see how thick the carbon build up actually was in the rear. It was around 1/8” thick.

I would imagine the same thing will be doable with the rokstock, just might have to get more creative with the recoil pad. Nice to have a 12.5” length of pull stock.

Legit. Thanks. Please let us know how it holds up.
