Hey guys, nice forum ya got here, this is my first post so take it easy on me. I just bought a Remington 700 SPS in 300wsm knowing that they come with garbage stocks and thinking it wouldn't be a problem getting a rifle stock from the US (i'm new) but obviously that isn't the case. So i've been looking for a few days for a new stock for this beast, particularly the Choate ultimate sniper but have had no luck. Does anyone know where i can get any choate stocks? I've heard good things about them, and they are cost effective so that's why i'm adamant about obtaining one. I would consider maybe going for a mcmillan or ati but only if there is no possible way of getting a choate, i just like the look and feel of combat stocks.

One a side note, how much of a pain in the ass would it be to get a stock imported from the US? I need a permit of some soft don't i? How long does the process usually take?

Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

Evan,
If you go to the reloading section, there is a long thread on importing "stuff". Your best bet it to pick it up. Look up Stocky's on the web and then plan to ship it to a friend in the US.

I have a Wildcat Composite on a rifle Corlane build for me and it is great! Can't recommend it enough. I am not a fan of the Choate. The ones I saw were of "lesser desirability" than the SPS factory stocks. That said, the only place I have seen them stocked is at Milarm in Edmonton.
 
Wildcat Composite stocks are great. Very strong, very light, very durable. If you're looking for a functional, durable, weather resistant stock they are fantastic. Next to the McMillan, there's no doubt they're the best thing going.

If you are interested in building a super light-weight rig, they're hard to beat. I've got 'em on my M700 .30-06 and my M700 .338WM. Both of those rifles, with scopes are under 7lbs. When I put those stocks on my rifles, it was not to save weight, I got 'em cuz I do a lot of hunting in wet, ####ty weather.

Wildcat will sell you a raw, unfinished stock blank also. That saves you some cash, and if you're into that thing, you get to fool around and customize the finish exactly to your liking. Or specify what kind of look you want. They are painted though, not the fancy molded colors like a McMillan.

Since they're produced right here in Edmonton, the delivery is way faster then a McMillan.
 
Milarm does have them, Ellwood Epps can also order them from Brownells on your behalf for those of you who read this thread in the future.

I'm now stuck between the choate and the wildcat, i might just get both.. The choate is 5.5lbs and the wildcats are only 17 and 23 OUNCES lol, that's insanely light i could mosey around the bush all day with that.

Thanks for your quick responses guys, i think i'm going to make this site my new home, definitely a place for a Canadian gun nut that's for sure..
 
Wildcat makes great stuff

I second that for Wildcat and they carry the Duracoat products too if you want to camo your gun!
