Does anyone here have any experience with these stocks? I was looking at putting one onto my savage too...

How do they fit/feel? How do they function (more importantly)?

If anyone has one... how did you bed it?

Thanks
 
I had 1 when they 1st came out, yes it can be bedded, and needs it. In all I found them to be poor fitting, and lacking in stability and quality, so sold it shortly after getting it.
For my money hard to beat a good fiberglass stock, less glitz, but better shooters, and to me that is what counts

Heavier than a good fiberglass stock get a HS precision /Bell&Carlson/ McMillan/ Robertson Composites these are 100 times the stock that Choate puts out
 
I disagree with KnockKnock. I have one one 10 FPLE and another on my Mav 88. The one on my Savage is amazing. It's completely adjustable for length and height. Perfect fit everytime. If you're looking for more accuracy than .5 moa, then, yes, have it bedded. Are there other stocks out there? yes. Are they any good? Yes. But for the money, they are definitely worth it, imho.

I have to agree with Jason. They are a good stock, a little pricy, but solid. There were 2 potential problems I found with them.

#1. For a small handed shooter, you may have difficulty, it is a big grips, and it is a not a light unit.

#2. It is not an easy stock to bed if you want too, the material is fussy when it comes to getting bedding to adhear.

For me personally it would have worked fine, I prefered the Varmint overall to the to the Sniper, I like the wide forend and straight through as oposed to the funky shape of the Sniper, but I did like the very rough texture on the Sniper. I would try to handle both before you buy.

In the end, for me, it came down to price, and I did not want to spend the $$$ for a temporary stock until my new stock arrived, but the quality is there and they are both versatile solid units.

If I was not buying another stock, I would have bought the Varmint to be the permanent stock for my 10FP.
 
I find the grip on the UV and US to be blocky, and the stocks to be on the clumsy side. A slight modification when the mould was cut would have resulted in a much more ergonomic stock. I've used them, and I've sold them. The rifles put together on them shot well. Several years ago, when dealer cost in the US was under $100, they were a best buy. They are still a moderately priced option. Personally, I find the US to be just too "busy", and having "Ultimate Sniper" moulded in leaves me cold.
 
I got my choate stock from willwagspal. Just sent him an PM and he can hook you up.

Mine was delivered brand new at a cost of $227 including shipping.
