12fv 308 choate tatical or b&c medalist/tactical

[TXRoadlizard]

Well ready for a stock upgrade on the fv out of the choate tactical at $215 or b&c medalist tactical $271 what you all think..rifle mainly punching paper on bench and prone to occasional field watching i read on here theres some small problems with the internal mag on the choate.(little loose)dont know if it's all of them or occasional maybe little offset on barrel channel. So any thoughts or concerns on these 2 would be great .I like the looks of the b&c and color choices. The palm swell on the choate tactical draganov style I handled at a gun show seems lrg for me don't know about just the tactical version of it.

I went with the Choate Tactical conversion stock from EA Brown. Basically EA Brown shipped my stock to CDI Precision for CNC inletting and installation of their CDI Bottom Metal to accept AICS Mags. Probably added a couple weeks to delivery, but well worth the wait for a 10-round DBM. Love this stock!

Understand on funds and doing conversion up front. The cool thing is, I think down the road you could still send either to CDI and they will inlet and install free if you buy the bottom metal from them. I can confirm your observation regarding the Choate. It is beefy. I've weighed the rifle and it comes just a hair shy of 15# with scope and bipod. Sure is a joy to shoot. I went with .223 because my opportunities to shoot beyond 250-yards are exceedingly rare and it is so much cheaper to shoot. I've bigger stuff for filling the freezer. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either of the stocks you are looking at.

I suffered from overthinking syndrome when I was deciding on a replacement stock. All of the options that have been discussed here are good choices and any of them will serve your needs well. Go with what your heart tells you, put a lot of rounds down range, and don't look back.

Words of wisdom to live by for sure
