Choate Tactical stocks

[memilanuk]

I can't believe I'm asking this... the sun/wind on the range the past two days must have addled my brain worse than I thought

Has anyone here used (or even handled) one of the Choate Tactical stocks (the ones that look vaguely like a McM A5) alongside a Stockade PD Special or a McMillan stock? How is the over all 'feel' in comparison?

I'm debating between getting a CDI Precision dbm system fitted to one of my existing guns (early Accutrigger 10FP receiver) w/ a Stockade PD Special stock or maybe one of the Choate Tactical stocks with the CDI kit.

Thanks,

Monte

No, but I would like to!

If you don't mind weight the choate is nice. I much prefer the B&C medalist I have on another rifle to it just because of the weight. In fact when the funds work out I'll look for something from stockade and sell the choate tactical I have on my 260. It is well made and comfortable to shoot but turns a varmint barreled 260 into a 15lbs+ gun in a hurry.

I have 2 of the Choate tactical stocks, I really like them because they feel great and look good too, but like was said above it weighs 3 3/4 lbs

does the tactical stock only come in heavy barrel channel? if so would it look stupid with a sporter barrel sitting in it? i have a stevens 200 and want to put it in a new stock and really like the tactical from choate. not to mention the price tag also.. i need one for the centerfeed (4.40 screw space) and it seems choices are small for that action right now.

The channel is very large. It would look about normal with a full bull barrel I think. My 260 with varmint contour has a huge amount of clearance. I can try and post a pic later if you'd like something to look at.

My Choate Varminter handles a straight shank 1.250 bull barrel with a little room to spare. Not much, but it is still floating.
