Choate Tactical stock

[taseal]

Anyone have one here?

Looking for an inexpensive stock for my ADL.

I was looking at the AICS and ready to spend the money, but I think I need to put aside the fact that it's the most awesome looking stock, and that I won't ever shoot beyond 600 yards in FL (don't even know of a range over 300 in my area) so for my needs I would be better off with something like a Choate tactical stock that's only 200 bucks... then I can invest into a ershaw barrel instead.

so I just wanted to ask if anyone uses the Choate Tactical Stock for ADL. it has some good reviews, but I wanted to hear 1st hand user experience with it.

thanks!

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I have one and like it alot. It is much more streamlined, ergonomic, and aesthetic than their Ultimate Varmint and Sniper stocks.

They are a bit heavy, but I'd bet they are much tougher than the typical popular fiberglass/composite stocks like HS Precision and Bell and Carlson. I should have pics of a sweet set-up in a Choate Tactical soon.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

If you have the cash and like the AICS then get it. I know first hand that if you buy something that isn't exactly what you want you will end up unhappy and selling it for a loss to get what you really want. I wouldn't let the fact that your not shooting long distance stop you from getting the stock you really like.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I have one and its... eh. I'd much rather have gone for a Manners first. I've actually decided to make my own stock because the choate is like what I said before.. eh.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I found a B&C Medalist Tactical that actually cost LESS. I also found a thread here that someone posted comparing the two. most preferred the B&C.

so I think I'm going with the B&C, then also get the wyatt's DBM kit so I can have the magazines. and I'll still have 400 bucks left to get a better barrel.

what's cool is I realized stockystocks is actually about 15 mins from me, so I'm going to pick it up in couple weeks when my money comes in. awesome!

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I started with a B&C fully adjustable A-5. I did like it but now I have a Mcmillan A-5 that I love. Can't beat the B&C for the money. Just make sure you get exactly what you want the first time. It great if you can handle the stocks first.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I'm pretty happy with mine. I filled in the sling swivel holes and painted it with Rustoleum stone texture paint.

I have a stock pack with a piece of mouse pad under it now, but it didn't make the pic. If you want to spend more money they have a version with adjustable butt and cheek.

Nice paint job el gordo2.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

Haven't had the pleasure of shooting one of the high end stocks like Manners, MCM, or AICS. I agree with the stock being "eh". The grip seem too bulky for me. When I get the time I'm guna try taking some girth off the whole thing and bed it. That's just my opinion.

I also agree with get what you want the first time. It'll save you money and misery.

Good luck

It came with the rifle, made by Choate. It's a fixed height and simply attaches to the stock with a screw. Noticed some stocks come with them and some dont.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I have the same stock on my Savage and I have to say the grip is a little thick and it is a bit heavy over all. Other than that it is pretty good. I am working on fixing the bipod mounting issue this stock has it is a PIA that choate didn’t think that out better.

I attached the bipod stud shoe to the bottom rail by drilling thru it on my press and drilling part way thru the rail itself and placed a rivet in the hole. The rivet has never budged and I can drill it out in about 15 seconds if I want to remove it.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

Good idea I was thinking about tapping it and putting in a small set screw but that adaptor is short and there is not much room to do it. Also thought about removing a rail screw and putting a sling stud in it's place.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

My Savage has one, and it is a big part of the reason I bought the gun, I loved the fit and feel of this stock. Full length alum. bedding block, I had mine skim bedded as well. They have an enormous barrel channel, you know your barrel is free floating, that is for sure.

I handled this model savage in the HS precision stock, and didn't care for it, this stock just felt right, and as stated already, it is important to get what you want and are comfortable with.

 

[Rodeo Trash]

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I am looking at these stocks as well. I just got my Savage 12 260 LRP w/ the HS Precision Stock on it but I don't like the feel of this particular style stock. I like a verical grip stock and for the money this Choate Tactical looks like it would be a good fit especially for the price. I just need to check and see if it will work with this new model 12. I don't think that is anything wrong with the HS Precision stocks. Where is the best place to buy these at? The reviews that I have read say that this is a very solid and durable built stock just a little heavy.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

Don't listen to the haters around here. I run a Choate tactical stock on my barnyard Salvage .223 and it's been great. Being a recently poor college kid I couldn't spend a G on a stock to look cool at the range. I bedded the Choate, drilled and taped the bipod stud for a set screw to hold it in place, and duracoated the thing desert tan. Best part is when I showed up to the last 600 yards F class match and shot as good with my .223AI salvage project as some of the guy's with a ton of money in their rigs. It's not what you shoot it's how you shoot it. Take the money you saved by buying the Choate and spend the rest in ammo, get good and move up from there. I improved my shooting a lot over the last year by getting out and shooting. There is no replacement for trigger time, Gucci stocks, rifles, and scopes will only make look you cool until the first shots are fired.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

For the same money, I'd go with the B and C. Had both, shot both.
Skim bedded both.

Re: Choate Tactical stock

I ran the Choate Tactical stock for little over a year and liked it alot. For the money, it's the best bang for the buck deal out there. The Choate was a great stock to tide me over till I could save up the money to step up.
