Tikka rokstock fitment

[Dave Thomas]

Can anyone post any pictures of a Tikka in a rokstock especially left side of action? I know the gas relief on left side of action in the factory stock sits right at the stock line. Mine sits a little higher in the rokstock. Can't seem to get action to fit down any deeper and not 100% sure if it's seating on the recoil lug.

Sorry, not the best angle as they are tilted kind of opposite ways and there's some shadowing.. but hopefully it helps a bit.

Pop your action out, and take a look right in front of the recoil lug.

There is a relief for the action before the barrel channel starts.

I suspect that one of the molds at Stocky’s is putting out stocks where this relief is just a few hundredths of an inch too tight. Maybe it’s a thermal expansion issue when the mold is setting up.

Any way, pop your bottom metal out so you can see the bottom of your action, and how it sets onto the stock. With good fitment there shouldn’t be any extra space when the action sets in the stock. If the action relief cut is too tight, you won’t be able to get it to settle on the recoil lug, and you’ll have space between the action and stock when viewed from the the mag well channel.

I dremeled out the relief myself. But UM should fix it if the relief is too tight and you don’t want to work on it yourself.

Yes, I've had issues with how it fits on the face radius of the action there and tight on barrel shanks. I sanded it out and bedded one of the rokstoks because of that.

In wind gypsy's picture it looks like they are sitting in the same place as the factory stock. What you are describing sounds exactly what mine is doing, I'll take a look at it tonight after work.

For the price this should be getting checked before being shipped out , it only takes a couple minutes.

“For the price”? You mean one of the least expensive carbon fiber stocks on the market?

I get what you are saying, however also, people act like they are $1,000 McMillans or Manners (which also frequently have issues). It’s a $500 or $600 stock- at some point people need to be realistic.
