Savage 12 FV .308 Choate Tac stock

[FWest]

The stock was just delivered today. Doesn't compare to a lot of the rifles seen here but it's a start. Ironsighter base is very thick may change the Burris rings to Med. Vortex Crossfire 2 6-24x50

Outstanding, looks great

[FWest]

Thanks. I had it out yesterday getting used to the stock. Felt like a new rifle, well worth the small investment.

sweet gun. Ive been debating between that stock and a Bell and Carlson, how much did you pick that one up for if you dont mind me asking?

That's a nice looking rifle. I like the Choate stocks. They make a heck of a good product that the working man can afford, good folks to boot.

Hey guys, i have the same rifle.
Can anyone enlighten me on what stock i need and detatch mag accessories to buy?

Ive had mine bolted on to a model 10 FCP-K for the past 3 yrs. Hands down, the stock fits me perfectly. I like it better than my HS Precision stock. The only thing I did to the stock was to bed the recoil lug. Its solid as a rock. Im hitting 4" clay pigeons with that rig. Handing out humble pie (quietly) to fellow long range shooters who spent twice as much.
Rig looks sharp!

FYI...the front rifle sling lug where the bipod attaches has a tendency of walking forward on you due to the design of the adjustable slide it sits on.. Keep an eye on it. After about 40 rounds I noticed mine started walking forward. I torqued mine just a tad bit tighter

I have not had any issue with the bipod moving but I do have a tendency to tighten things firmly.

One of my better groups shot at 100 yards.

I just returned a Choate sporter style stock back to Midway. Worse than factory in my opinion. Haven't used their higher end models.

That sucks. This is the only Choate stock I have and find it far better than the factory stock.

[Txhillbilly]

I've got 5 of the Choate Tactical stocks. They aren't the prettiest girl at the dance,but they work very well.

[yew plucker]

Good stuff!

What factory model/stock do you have? What made it worse?
