Re: Choate stock question
I have the same rifle but with a McMilian stock. It does have a very slight amount of flex at the last few inches at barrel end. Not sure if it is touching barrel but I always try to rest the rifle about 5 or 6 inches back from the end of stock just in case the stock does touch at the end. I have heard of people inletting some kind of carbon fiber stiffener into the front of stock but that might be a bit of overkill.
Re: Choate stock question
Did you buy that gun from Cabela's or used somewhere? Just curious because I just sold one on consignment recently, but it was an FCP-XP, which has a 20" heavy fluted barrel and came with a plastic stock. I put the Choate stock on it. I does have the slightest amount of flex but no more than I have seen from HS or mcmillan.
Re: Choate stock question
Yes I bought it at Cabelas. They are being discontinued and mine was the last one in the Fort Worth store.
