I guess it depends on your expectations and which model you choose. I have experience with 2 different models.
I have an older ultimate sniper stock for a pre accutrigger flatback that is a heavy unit and the spacers for the butt are steel. Using them is kinda like adding iron barbells to the butt of the rifle. Depending on the application this feature can be a pro or a con. The sloped fore end seems to ride the bags well at the bench and makes elevation adjustments easy and solid.The full length aluminum bedding block free floats the barrel and the tang very well with plenty of room all around. The grip is very large smaller folks may not like it but it's okay by me. It's a good stock for bench work, offhand not so much.
I also have one of their tactical stocks for a long action heavy barrel setup. They were one of the first and the few to offer a reasonably priced stock for the 110FPs. Though I typically have no problem with the factory synthetics, in the case of the 110FPs, the factory stock just wasn't robust enough to provide clearance for the long heavy barrel. I like the Choate Tactical for this rifle and though beefy and on the heavy side it's not nearly as heavy as the ultimate sniper. The tactical model came with plastic spacers for length of pull so that helps with the weight a little but I wonder if all the spacers are plastic now as the ultimate sniper model with steel spacers is a much older model.
They fit the action well and came with a trigger guard and action screws so the fit on both was pretty much drop in, torque it down and go shoot. They are very good stocks especially for the price and I would buy either again for a heavy barreled casual bench gun.
As far as ease to control I have had no issues getting my bullets go where they are supposed to.
