Choate Tac Stock Texture

So I wanted to texture my new Savage Tac with choate tac stock, I have seen all of the ideas passed around but wanted larger grip holes, I sanded the stock, cleaned it, masked the area, mixed accru-glass gel, added black dye,

put it on the stock, took some Bubble rap –sprayed it with Remington Rem-Oil, brushed in the valley’s on the bubble wrap them placed it on the bedding I pressed firmly allowing the bedding to seep into the valleys, I let dry about 5 hours then took off the bedding

The next morning I filed / sanded it and painted it.

Feels very good

Wow! Thats pretty grippy looking ;D Wished that stock was available when I ordered my Choate UV stock! With the new centerfeed action, the UV was the only pick at the time, but it still better then the Folder it replaced.

4 shots .288 with Black Hill 168, not bad

how do you like the stock? I've been considering buying one for well over a month now and can't make a decision between the choate and the B&C medalist. Is the palm swell really as large as everyones been making it out to be?
