You can use this one but will need a magazine, spring and follower from a stagger feed Long Action

I guess you can spend $900 up front for the complete package - quality stock & accurate shooter - or spend 3 to 4 beans for the rifle & drop another couple hundred to make it stable, sturdy & comfortable.
So, let me ask you - does a stock like the one in the link really make that much difference in the way a rifle shoots? Every time I see some one posting about a $300 Stevens & a $500 Manners, it make me wonder.
And try not to tell me it's a night & day difference in the way a rifle will handle. I already spent my gun budget money for the month according to the accountant I'm married to....

omg seriously..... can someone tell me what stock will work or how to make one work otherwise keep the comments to yourselves please
I have this Choate Tactical and the Sniper too, and am well pleased with the shooting quality for the cost.Quote:

Using your left hand to hold the stock, insert the barreled action that you removed from the old "button on the side" stock. Hold the action secure in the new stock using fingers and thumb. Propping the butt on a table or the floor may help. Install the DBM frame and insert the muzzle end screw first and engage the threads 3 turns. Insert the trigger gaurd and hold with thumb. insert the middle and rear screws and tighten. Having the muzzle pointed upwards when tightening insures that the recoil lug is in contact with the supporting surface. You may run into some screw length issues because of the differences in the thickness of the aftermarket stock compared tothe original. Too long will cause binding of the bolt you will need to grind and deburr till they fit. It may beneccessary to buy some extra screws in the 1/4-28 persuasion. I buy them from Mcmaster Carr.

Frank. The grip area on the Choates are not perfect but overal they are great for the money. The V-block action support made out of a large piece of alluminum realy improves stock stiffness and action support. I'm sold on them for a cheap alternative to shoot off a rest or bipod in F/class open or TR. They are realy designed for a target barrel because of the diameter of the channel. The supplied T-nut/bipod button is limited but but it slides in a t-slot so you can put it where you want it ... I am being very critical.
I just traded one for a HS precision Long Range and that stock is very nice. It is not tactical but it is very light and rigid. this one is only available for the short action.
Thanks HS precision for the use of your picture

With only 4 post this isn't the way to make friends around here,we let the confrontational go elsewhere and keep it friendly.
Now I will try and answer your question from personal experience; there are no side release stocks comercialy availiable that I know of.So unless you are willing to go custom($300-$600) it is not happening. What I did was convert to a blind magazine (not a fan of dbm anyway) and was done with it for around $100.I used a Boyd's thumbhole and if the old picture threads come up look for mine and it will be th one that is red/black same model as yours.
Yours should be a stagger feed long action and the blind mag stocks from just about anyone should fit as long as it is stagger feed.Mag and follower from almost any supplier or factory direct.
What you have is an odd bird, they was a few made but production was low on them. Aftermarket aviliblility is non-existant. You have three choices, you can either convert your action to a blind mag, or your can have a custom stock made, You could also have someone do the work or cut it your self starting a stagardfeed stock you need to cut out for the bottom metal, and side release.Quote:
