Re: Ultimate Varmint Stock.

I currently have four of the Choate Varmint stocks and have three rifles in them. A Savage tactical 223, a Mod 70 Winchester 223, a Model 700 long action barreled with 308 barrel and I have a 700 SA stock I will soon put together a heavy barrel in 260 or 308.
When fitting the larger center fires you will need to cut off the bottom of the Rem magazine about 5/16" so it can be used in the Choate.
This stock can also be used for shooting conventional prone. I first saw this about 2003 when I was squadded with a guy in Palma Trophy Match at Camp Perry. I liked what I saw and went over to Commercial Row and got one I had seen there earlier.
There are all kinds of attachments that come and I removed all stock extensions and cheek pieces and installed a forearm stop/sling swivel and it works fine for prone and fits me well even though I have a short neck.
What is not advertised is there is a monopod screw on back of stock so when shooting prone or bench rest you can adjust elevation by this screw when using a bipod. The buttstock design does not lend itself well to rear bag adjustment but the monopod replaces that function just fine.

The barrel channel will take any barrel out there up to a 1 1/4" blank. There is a heavy aluminum channel in stock and you wil not warp it under heavy sling tension.

I had one of the Sniper Stocks and it would flex due to no liner. I got rid of it quickly and got more of the Varmint styles.

It can be rigged for sling carry with a loop of nylon line through the opening in the buttstock. It would be nice to have a sling swivel there but I supppose they figured no one was going to use a sling on it.

I shoot left handed and I don't think the design would work well for me in rapid fire but
I admit I have not tried it as yet. I hold High Master Rating in HP rifle. Will know more next season.

This is a very ruggedly designed and built stock and if I run across others I may well pick them up as well. Due to the design and ease of change outs I figure I can do quite well with one stock and change out barreled actions in a couple minutes.

There is a storage compartment in grip area. It requires a small screw driver to access contents. It would have been better to have a sliding door opening such as is seen on some AR grips.

I don't see how one would ever break one of these but they have a lifetime warranty so no worries.

Don't have any pics of these, maybe after I build the next I will lay out all four.

I wish they made this stock for the 1903 Springfield and the M1A.
Don't think you will be disappointed with this stock.
