I used a Choate Ultimate Varmint for a few years. Nice heavy stock but pretty plain, generic, and kind of homely. Shot well with it but the ribs on the bottom made it tough in the bags.

I bought one of the Tactical Custom stocks a few weeks ago for my F-Class rig and this is a fantastic stock. Nicer looking and better finished than any of the other Choates that I've seen. Very stable on the bipod or rest. The only 'issue' is the weight. They are heavy. It puts me just under legal for F/TR but it's worth it. I'm thinking about laying a custom paint job on it soon.

Being lefty, and shooting Savage 10s really limits your choices on stocks. I have one of Kevin's Stockades with the adjustable cheekpiece that I have used for several years. It's a great stock and lighter than the Choate. I will be adding the adjustable buttplate to it soon which will add a little weight. I would have bought another one but needed this one inside his leadtime window.

Bottom line is that they aren't cheap but it seems like a solid platform that will last a couple of generations of rough handling. If you don't need the adjustable cheekpiece and buttplate, the Tactical can be purchased relatively inexpensively.
