Ultimate Rokslide Special: Rokstok, Tikka 223, Maven 1.2

[Anschutz]

That looks like a shooter. The paint looks good. I personally think the Rokstock is an ugly looking stock, but for eeking out performance, looks don't necessarily matter, only function.

I need a Rokstok for my 223, and those UM bolt knobs for all my Tikkas.

I think a nitrided T1x with UM mods to lighten the action and deep flutes cut in the barrel would be sweet too. Especially threaded at 16 inches with a suppressor. Perhaps a wood RokStok to really go wild.

@mxgsfmdpx how do the UM knobs compare to factory?

They are excellent. All the other “oversize” bolt handles and knobs I’ve used suck honestly. They are either too long, not round, or make the bolt lift way too easily which isn’t a good thing when hunting.

This one maintains factory position while giving you a little more meat to grab, without getting in the way due to being too large or a non rounded shape. Closer to my Sako 85 bolt handles (see below), but even better actually.



I’m not trying to be a UM “fanboy” on this, but they are perfect.

I had the same experience on the few aftermarket options I tried and am using the factory handles at present. I will have to give those a try.

Yep these are really good. Next best are the factory tikka bolt on oversized plastic caps. Not as nice as these UM knobs though.

Just picked up my rifle back from Unknown Munitions. Tikka 223 action was lightened with the barrel chopped and threaded to 18 inches. Dropped it into a new Rokstock and topped with a SWFA 6x. Finished it off with a scythe.

The UM tikka bolt knobs are legit. I've put a few hundred rounds on them now and it's a really nice peice.
