Any Experience with this Choate stock?

[47hooker]

I want to re-stock my Remy AAC SD. Any experience/opinions on this particular stock?

I like the adjustability. However, I am VERY new to this discipline...if it is un-needed, please say so.

Thanks for any help!!

I had the non-adjustable version of that stock on a Savage FP 10 that came with it built that way through Cabelas. The function of the stock was fine, it's got an aluminum bedding block. I had some problems with the bipod mount on mine loosening up, but there are solutions for that.

I would say wait for a deal on a mcmillan or manners through, better fit and finish and better resale value if you change it down the road. Choate gets no respect and the used prices reflect it.

I wouldn't get caught up in the adjustments on the choate you are looking at, you can get a stock pack and adjust your height with that and most better stocks have adjustable Length of pull. Just my 2 cents.

Don't know what you are using the gun for but if you planing on carrying it pay attention to the weight. Choate stocks tend to be heavy. I know several that have them that do like them but that is the common complaint.

I have that stock after less than a year the barrel is sitting on the stock - waiting to see what Choate will do for me.

I'll wait and see if Choate replaces my stock or sends back the broken one before I chime in with my experiences.

Choate, B & C stocks are not much of an upgrade over factory offerings IMO. H&S is a better "cheap" stock. The stock in your link is priced at $500, Id say check out the for sale section and get a used McM, Manners or McRee, you will be much better off. Even a new McRee or Manners are not much more money then your going to spend on that Choate

Under a continuous load plastics will creep. (That's why they're called "plastic".)
They will continue to creep until;
a. they fail
b. the load is relieved.

I would opt for the non-adjustable version and buy a triad tactical stock pack.
It will save you coin and weight.
If you truly want a fully adjustable stock, look to the B&C tactical A5.

In my experience, with you being a noob, you will be out there fiddling with the stock every time you hit the range and never be satisfied with your shooting.
Simple is better.

Also, from personal experience with both the Choate and B&C, they are huge improvements over the hogue plastic stocks.
