So I got the 12fv bug like everyone else and now I'm looking into two different choate stocks. I'm looking at the choate varmint stock and the untimate sniper stock. I like the forend of the varmint stock a lot Better for looks. The real question does one function better off the bipod or bags better than the other. I will be shooting only from the bench or prone. I don't plan to do any hunting just range work with this rifle.

I also plan on doing a specific thread on the rifle after the first range session.

Awesome....Like to see photos at the range, if your new stock tightens your groupings...Make us proud.

This is my first time reloading that I went all out and didn't try to go cheap on any of the components I hope I can do the rifle justice.

Congrats, what is your setup for re-loading.....Never had the itch, even when I was shooting sporting clay every weekend, thought about then, but passed....Shooting my beautiful Browning Gold Sporting clay....Love this auto.....Never failed me...Solid

Here is a pic of my current reloading setup I have a one year-old so my setup is completely portable. I'm using a cheap lee c frame press. (Honestly it's the cheapest you can buy) but it puts out very concentric ammo within .001 usually. For this build i got the Peterson brass, hornady custom grade dies, varget for the powder and I got some 155gr and 175gr vld style bullets. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180106/cc14b181fd8aab31970145d4ea748e7b.jpg

Did you add the top to a cart or did it come with that top? This setup looks fantastic!

The cart was bought at harbor freight and instead of installing the top shelf as it should be in flipped it upside-down so it's flat on top, then I bought a shelf top from home Depot and bolted all four corners down with 3/8th bolts. It's a solid set up no flex at all. I did have to add 2 20lb weights to the other end of the cart as counter weight. But it rolls great and does not take up much space

I like it I do believe that stock looks a lot better than the other one I mentioned. Now once I get the funds it will be ordered.

Those look like the weaver picatinny tactical rings, How do you like them? I bought a set, but there was no information for torque spec. I know Vortex calls for 15-18 inch lbs, but what torque did you use for the cross bolt nuts? Nice set up!!

To be honest, I'm not much of a fan of most rings since I saw these: https://www.americanrifle.com/product/m10-scope-rings/

However, these rings do their job and hold the scope very well. I've never used a torque wrench to tighten rings, went more on feel. My rings aren't overly tight, nor are they loose either if that makes sense.

Thanks guys!! That is a solid shooter!!

Looking close at grip, is it really large??? Made for medium, large or XL??? Thoughts?

The grip is probably a medium size grip for me. Anyone with medium or large size hands will work for this stock.
