Any comments appreciate about that stock from Choate Machine and tool inc. company. I realy like that rifle exept the crapy stock!......
That stock have an aluminium bedding block and two pillars that made part of that bedding block and a machined part molded into the forearm barrel channel, etc... seem not bad to me. They tell me that it's easy to install(no shiming etc..) by myself and said to me that they have a distributor here in Canada called Mil Arm.

Rifles set up in the stock shoot well. You might want to do a skim coat of bedding compound, to get an exact fit of the receiver to the bedding block. The stocks are heavy, and somewhat clumsy; blocky feeling. Personally, I think that if Choate had done a bit more work on the design of the grip area, they could have have a substantially better stock. Another option you might consider is the Boyds' Warner Varminter laminated stock. Cheaper, more work to fit and finish, but a good buy, and a comfortable stock.
 
I actully like the grip on the choate stocks as they stop me from gripping them too tight, which for my form is a no-no, torque is extreme for me.

Some fellas can keep a deatrh grip- on a stock, I remember Dad talking to someone years ago ( either Ron Bowman or Don Mackenzie) and the talk was about gripping a target rifle and torque.
He mentioned that Gerry Oullette gripped a rifle so hard that he had a callus at the base of his thumb and the heel of his hand.
To those that knew him or of him (Diopter, Maynard, etc..) they can vouch that Mr. Oulllette could put " get 'er done " with the best in the World, he proved in at Melbourne '56 or was it '58?? :?
Anyway, ya , I like the choate stock! :D

That's the exact same stock I have on my Savage 10FP-LE2A. It's one mighty sweet stock, especially when using a harris bi-pod. I have zero complaints about it.
