Just wondering how I would go about getting a Choate fixed here in Canada. Do I have to ship to the Canadian Distributor? Not sure what to do. I seem to have uneven bedding blocks. One side sits higher than the other. Thinking about fixing it myself with a dremel and then glass bedding the rifle afterwords.
 
Seeing how the Canadian distributor is out of business, you might want to contact Choate directly. For the cost and hassle of shipping it stateside I'd be more inclined to fix it myself and learn a lesson from the experience.

I didn't realize they went out of business. Good to know. Looks as though I will be doing this myself. Not a problem. Better than waiting.
 
Choate stocks continue to be available. Warranty has always been with the US parent.

Give them a shout or send me a PM or email.

Love to hear why you say the inletting is not right.

I have recommended bedding for these and every other alum chassis stock. As some will know, I recommend proper bedding for EVERY stock manf. Way too much clearance as stocks are usually inletted for speed of assembly NOT fit.

The rear bedding block sits higher than the front. This is my second choate and my first never had any issues. I am thinking about grinding the rear down before bedding the rifle. This way it sits a little more level and not as high after bedding.
 
It should be bedded anyways and grinding it down is fine. I recommend grinding it anyways even if it did fit and even adding little holes or pockets for the epoxy. Gives the epoxy compound a better surface to bond to.

Oh I understand that. Exactly what I did to when I bedded my first choate. In this case I'll have to shave down some more metal though.
