    Welcome to the site Rich, I have a McMillan and a Bell& Carlson Medalist. Both of these stock are good choices, the Choate for your rifle I don't care for. The McMillan is expensive but a little better then the medalist, but with that being said I'd go with the Medalist any day and keep the rest of the cash for other shooting supplies. Just my opinion. Hope this helps.

    I have a Stockade PDS/T stock and it is a very good stock. It is rigid yet lightweight and these are built one at a time to your specs. I had mine built with a slightly longer LOP than standard. I had them install the aluminum for sling swivels but not drill them.

    The money saver makes it an excellent value if you are a bit handy. Mostly all you have to do is fill a few pin holes and sand flush the molding lines. It took me less than an hour to have mine finished using glazing putty, which is what they recommend. They even have a finishing kit available for sale if you don't want to buy your own.

    They can inlet for virtually any action, including yours. Even without bedding my rifle became more consistent after installing it in the Stockade stock.

    You will not find the Stockade stocks at stores because each one is built to order according to YOUR specs. I have never heard anyone complain about their Stockade stocks. I am sure there are those out there that weren't happy but I would say that is extremely rare.

    The B&C's are available at numerous online retailers and most prices are withing $5 once shipping is calculated. I spent a few days calling every distributor of B&C stocks and all were so close it really didn't matter who I got it from. I have held them and was going to order one until I called Stockade. I had absolutely no intention of buying a stock from them and only wanted to get some advice on a build. Kevin was so personable and knowledgeable that I bought numerous items from him. It was the best money I have spent in a VERY, VERY long time. He is passionate about the products he makes and it shows in the quality.

    The Choate stocks are something different than anything else I have held. You really need to find one to hold before buying one. Most people either hate them or love them and for me I hated them. The two biggest distractors are the weight and the size and angle of the grip. I have average hands and it was difficult to get a decent grip on a Choate Sniper or Varmint stocks. They do have a collapsible stock also but the grip is the same on it also.

    Here is a guy who is unhappy with his Choate stock just a few posts down.

    take a look at richards microfit stocks. They do wood and /or laminate with plenty of choices.

    Unless you're a southpaw like me, then the McMillan is your only option. :D

    I'm new here too. Not trying to hijack your thread. I figured this question could help both of us, since I have the same rig as you. I have been getting conflicting information on what stocks will fit the pre '99 110FP Tactical. I have a B&C Duramaxx stock on hand for my build. I have been told that all of the 110 series has the 5.06" stock bolt spacing. Therefore, any 110 stock will fit this rifle. Is that true or not?

    Correct "stonecold" to a point. Be sure it's for your staggered feed and not a centerfeed. If you plan on only bench shooting single shot, then it doesn't matter.

    i know i have the long action with space at 5.06. Don't want sound dumb, but when you say center feed or stagger feed mine you top feed and they stagger as you load the rifle. I guess i really never saw a center fed. I've only had my rifle since 95-96 never really paid attention to wether it was center or stagger until i started looking to put a better stock on it. I got to say that these forums are a lot of help and every one is great about sharing info.
    thanks
