What rifle is missing stock options?

Hey, ummm, how about a lefty for ABolt? Asking for friend…

@Stockys Anything in the works for the Sako 85?

@Stockys, I’ve got a RH Long Action M77 Hawkeye, and a RH Short Action M77 Scout(same as Hawkeye/MkII) rifle I’d be willing to send in if it helps the cause!

 

[JAC8504]

@Stockys did you get a Ruger 77 MKII or 77 Hawkeye Short action model yet?

Ruger M77

Well look at all options once we start.

I have a LH Ruger Gunsite Scout I could send in. The GSR sold in pretty good numbers for a while, maybe still does. It wasn’t as light as Jeff Cooper specified. Not sure if the scout rifle a was a weak concept to begin with, if it made more sense in the 80’s or I just didn’t “get it” because of the weight. I could see there being a lot of GSR owners who would jump at a carbon fiber stock. Lot to be said for that barreled action though. Threaded, short, decent trigger, integral rings (great once they’re lapped), aics mags.

Edit to add: I also didn’t run it with a scout scope. Just low powered friendly scopes.

Youth stocks would be fantastic for Tikka. There has to be demand for this. Anyone else? It feels impossible trying to find something I can drop one of my rifles in for my 6 year old to shoot correctly. Something around an 11-12 LOP would be great.

We’re working on an insert for our existing molds that would allow us to make the stock have a shorter lop

ALERT: Shameless plug for Model 70 RokStok, but here it goes.
Trying to get the ball rolling on UM/Stocky's making the RokStok (carbon fiber) for the Model 70. Things are moving in a positive direction, but trying to use this thread/poll (below) as a place to organize the preorder effort through UM to Stocky's.
Please read and vote if your seriously interested and intending to order a M70 RokStok. Good # of votes in the first 1.5 days, but more is better so branching out. Thanks.

Model 70 Rokstok 'Commitment Poll'

This is intended to be a pulse check for Model 70 RokStok demand. I have no affiliation with UM or S2H... I am lucky to already own and have shot with a Tikka RokStok though and accordingly want a SA M70 RokStok in carbon fiber ASAP, with the grip texture as advertised on the UM website...

Man… I can’t believe I missed all the fun(so far).

- M70 LA (sounds like any day now).

- Sako 85 - @Stockys - I have an 85M I’ll let you use for a model

Sauer 100 - I have a Sauer 100 you can use too!

I’m not too far away either… SoFL.

Thanks!

@Stockys. Are there still plans to do a stock for the Ruger American Gen 1. I have one with the original rotary magazine.

 

[Alpha Echo]

I'm still praying for Rokstoks for Ruger M77 Mkii/hawkeye left hand LA and SA!

Just me reading between the lines on all the RokStok/rokstok adjacent content, but my hypothesis is the Ruger M77 might have the most 'headwind' in front of it for RokStok development. I hope I'm wrong, because Stockys will have the inlets and everything, but I'm not counting on it coming to life anytime soon. For those rifles I have my sights set on the Stockys VG.

In one of the podcasts I recall Jake and Ryan saying there will be Rokstoks for any inlet Stockys has. I'm curious what you think the headwinds are?

I had missed that! That is a good bit of news. I definitely don't want to count them out, maybe it's just a matter of time and $$/interest then.
Maybe the lack of what I would call "ideal" stocks on the market for the Ruger's will be a force for good in accelerating RokStok production? There are certainly a lot of M77's out there. Either way, it won't happen without a good amount of prodding and $$$ up front to UM to get pre-orders to start production I would guess. They certainly have the least amount of premium aftermarket stock options vs other actions, and opinions vary as to why, between the angled front action screw, some people's dislike for rugers, or just lack of M77 people wanting to modify their setup because they aren't that far 'down the rabbit hole' so to speak?

If I go off of what actions are available to pre-order on UM's site (which I think is a reflection of what they anticipate will be most popular and therefore want to focus their efforts on) you see more DIY at home tinkerer friendly push feed actions, as that crowd seems to be more aware of the RokStok.

As an aside, I am currently trying to rally the troops to pre-order M70 Rokstoks this summer (because it's an option on the website right now) and while there is positive feedback and good interest it pails in comparison to the number of R700 and Tikka's actually bought and paid for so far, which is partially due to the up front info and marketing for the RokStok being focused on Tikka/R700, and their popularity.

Then of course there's the 'Ruger's are crap' vibe I pick up from the S2H gang, it's sort of subtle and only been stated once or twice, and maybe it's just me/I'm wrong, but I sense it haha. At the end of the day if the $$$/interest is there, I'm sure they'll make 'em eventually.
