In the pic of the parts, Choate throws in two cheek rests (nice touch)
there are 3 mounting positions for each by sliding back and forth the
putting a simple screw back in. One rest is generally for a typical low
mount scope, and a higher model for people using taller rings..... The
butt plate is configurable for raising and lowering the pad itself, if you
need a better position. The adjustment block which mounts first to the
stock is a 1 LB piece of steel !!! I guess the original designer likes "heavy"
I'll leave it alone for the time being knowing it will be an area to reduce
weight, if the rifle warrants it.....There is a riser knob next to the pad.
It's supposed to be for fine elevation adjustments, but it's value would
only be if you were on a hard surface like a bench. Maybe a sniper would
throw a log under his rifle for this purpose in a pinch ??.....Fore end has
a sliding rail to mount bipods and the such on. I personally find it a bit
useless and would prefer the more typical pic rail or m-loc sytem used
in most mil type rifles today. This stock was designed about 24 years
ago by a veteran sniper.
