Assuming you are referring to the cheek riser.......The choate tactical is hollow in the but stock but choate sells a block with built in hardware and cheek rest that match the stock. It is about $90 available direct from choate.
Great job!!
Looks good! I'm about to cut into my .22 trainer stock to do an adjustable cheek piece, i've been holding off doing it for a while just because its such a clean stock. Its a solid walnut A3-A5 copy for my savage. I plan on making my own hardware for the cheek. After i get it all done i'm going to re finish it to a glass like finish but with devcon texture on the grip and forearm. So it will be half classy half tacticool. Since i feel the a .22 trainer rifle should be classy/tactical.
Would you be interested in doing the cheek piece mod for a fellow hide member? I've got a B&C A5 that I sanded the forearm down on and a REALLY aggressive marine tex texture job on as it will be a field rifle used durin hunting season and shooting from a pack a lot or a log as well as bipods but I just bought a 700 5R .308 and wanting to get an A2 for it but would like the adjustable cheek piece and the thumb hook you incorporated and I can do the finish work. I just don't have any drill presses or band saws and want to get the stock done in multicam cerakote so wanna do it one time. Thanks man.
Tag for later modifications, very cool!
Been awhile since I visited the post. As an update, the stock has been to several local matches since the completion of the project. I'm happy to report that its functioning 100% and has surpassed all of my expectations.
My 13-year old son and I have been putting together a Savage 10FP in .223 for him to shoot in the matches along side me. We've just finished up work installing pillars and bedding the action in a Boyds Tacticool stock. After installing the SWFA 12x in low TPS rings, both of us find ourselves raising our heads up a bit to get proper alignment with the scope. Looks like we'll be copying the raised cheek piece idea from the Bell and Carlson.
You can see our progress here . . .
