Is not going to be more rigid than the B&C full length aluminum block and the carbon fiber they use. People can pretend all they like, but it's not. Now their new stock has a full length aluminum bedding block, so it might be comparable, but the ultimate sniper is not. I still thought the finish on the new choate wasn't as clean looking as the B&C, but that's my opinion. I would personally spend $200-225 and go with the Bell & Carlson Medalist. Maybe it's good for the money, or better than some of the stocks that come on some rifles, but I still don't think it compares to a B&C Medalist.</div></div>
I am talking about the medalist line. There is no need to pretend anything. The new choate stock has aluminum the full length. The UV and US stocks suck by comparison to either of these. I don't know which is stiffer. I was saying the Choate seems to be stiffer. But like I said, I have no evidence to back that up. I have at least owned both and was just giving my thoughts and opinion on the subject. And I do think that it compares to the medalist line. The Choate fits me better and coincidentally fits my wife better since it has removable spacers at the rear, win/win.
The only thing I can think of that would make the medalist line stronger is if the aluminum went down the grip and into the rear as the Choate aluminum block stops at the grip. Do the BC stocks do this?
Yes the finish of the BC stocks are nicer. The Choate looks like...well plastic.
