First ROK Stock Poll

[MuleyFever]

If B wins out please make it like this and not like the one posted earlier.

 

[bojangles808]

In my opinion, the options for attachments and flat vs round are secondary to that. I can attach a rail to just about anything if I want to.

Exactly. if you make A, Bs can still attach a rail. if you make Bs, half the group gets something they don't want probably with a higher cost/lead time. they look goofy too.

 

[Unknown Munitions]

Well yes and no. Form still needs to be leading the way on this almost entirely IMO. I want his version of a perfect hunting stock, because I don’t know what I don’t know and so far everything I’ve implemented per his advice has been gold.

He is very much leading the charge

 

[Unknown Munitions]

Make it long enough for the short spartan adapter
Alterras flush (scalloped) forend is too short

Definitely will be an option

 

[Unknown Munitions]

As long as its not adding much weight to have the material there for a strong enough attachment, I'll go B, but if in the design it picks up a half pound without the rail for some reason (like a backing plate and the material to reinforce it) I'd go with A.

a half ounce rail and a couple screws will not add much weight at all

 

[Unknown Munitions]

What about a solution like the hook on the bottom of a KRG Bravo? Sell it with the scallop and sell a filler for those who want a smooth forend.

Maybe that's a terrible idea, I don't know.

we talked about a filler block, I think the right move is to make both stocks.

 

[Unknown Munitions]

B! But in a way a guy could pick short ARCA or pic rail! I may even buy a Tikka again just to get in on this!

There will likely be 3 rail options: pic, arca, and spartan.

 

[Unknown Munitions]

Intrigued, I love a recessed pic rail. Did I miss where the rest of the stock profile is? Negative comb?

Not posted yet, but yes on the true negative comb

 

[Unknown Munitions]

Guessing this went to a poll because Ryan and Jake want B and Form has his heels dug in on A. How’d I do?

Exactly right

 

[Unknown Munitions]

Maybe I missed it...which option best allows for the use of a Spartan bipod?

Either one can have a rail installed for Spartan.

 

[5MilesBack]

For a hunting rifle, just so there's a stud for a sling I'm good.

 

[BAKPAKR]

This is an alterra flush forend

And the sort of scallop I could get behind
It’s unobtrusive and doesn’t alter handling at all
It also, somehow, is the same weight as the non flush model


This is the type of scallop I would like to see, too - just for the purpose of adding a short rail that would sit flush with the rest of the forearm.

I'd like to see just the very front scalloped where the rail would be installed(like gunwerks and alterra). But even if it was super basic and had 1 sling stud that'd be fine too. I can just install t nuts wherever I want rails. If you have a drill press it takes like 5 minutes to do one. Lower cost, short lead times and correct ergonomics would make this stock hard to beat for any action, not just tikka.

A, in nice Walnut. Haha. Sorry, no monkey in this circus.

I think a budget basic and bells and whistles version is a good idea with the 50/50split

 

[PNWGATOR]

I’m confident this project will come together correctly…that said, my vote is for simplicity.

 

[Brontosaurus]

I've been back and forth on this. Changed my vote three or four times .

But I think we should go with whatever Form says is correct as he shoots way more than any of us will. I trust his experience and judgement.

 

[ElPollo]

Keep in mind that when Alterra upgraded their stock with aluminum blocks, a rail, and flush cups, their stock went from a svelt 22-23 oz to 30+ oz. We should be careful what we ask for.

 

[DangerRanger]

Would making it like the sako S20 stock be an option? just mlok on the bottom so you can add ARCA or pic or have a clean bottom.
