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.I'm still praying for Rokstoks for Ruger M77 Mkii/hawkeye left hand LA and SA!
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?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 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 $$/interest then.In one of the podcasts I recall Jake and Ryan saying there will be Rokstoks for any inlet Stockys has. I'm curious what you think the headwinds are?
Here's hoping. As you say there are really no good m77 options out there, and none in left hand. HS Precision is supposedly coming out with one based on the Hawkeye FTW but it's still a shorter, with no vertical grip, and definitely no negative comb.I had missed that! That is a good bit of news. I definitely don't want to count them out, maybe it's just a matter of time and $$/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.
There are. We've done them in the past so that'll be first when we do the Ruger Americans.@Stockys. Are there still plans to do a stock for the Ruger American Gen 1. I have one with the original rotary magazine.
Will these be offered in left hand?Winchester 70 stocks are now live on the website!
I’ll third this…especially the .223 length…nothing out there if aftermarket stocks.
Fourth. Got a gen 2 ordered and when it gets here a VG2 will be much appreciated.I’ll third this…especially the .223 length…nothing out there if aftermarket stocks.
They will. I have a few roksliders to get left hands from to do the final fitting.Will these be offered in left hand?
