Got the Choate Tactical Stock with CDI bottom metal installed from E Arthur Brown (eabco.com) today. CDI provides new longer action screws, but upon torquing forward screw to 65 pounds, discovered bolt would not open. Had to grind a couple 2 or 3 mm off the forward screw and then torque to 65, bolt traveled freely. The Stock is rough looking on the inside with tool marks on the bedding block and where the recoil lug goes, but hey, for $200 the stock seems perfect. CDI bottom metal was fine once that forward length was addressed. Don't know why CDI doesn't make their holes big enough to accept a #8 or #10 stainless washer, that would keep you from grinding on screws. I went with MDT Magazine and it seems to be feeding flawlessly. Harris-clone bipod snugged down tight on the Choate and you can adjust it front to back just by loosening and tightening. The stock feels great and I don't think it added just a ton of weight. If I'd had another ~$250 to blow I'd have went chassis, but Choate looks like it will work.

Can't wait to get this rig back to the range and see what $420 investment did for my groups!!!
