I bought one for my Model 12 with a 1" barrel. It is heavy, but I can't see myself walking around with this thing anyway. My action fit the stock perfectly. There was plenty of room in the barrel channel for the 1" barrel. I like the shape of the Choate better than the B&C stock. I bought the DBM style, then bought the ACME DBM kit from SSS. I think it's a heck of a stock for the price. I got the stock from Combatstocks.Com. I think their price has gone up since I bought mine.
