Guest varmartin Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 As some of you may have seen before, I recently painted my VLS rem 700 stock in camo colours. Well now i have sat it in a new Choate stock( The ultimate sniper), picked up from the MGF on Sat for £130. I have liked the look of this stock for some time and read a lot of reviews about it, and mostly they have been a mixed bag. As it will be used off the bipod for long range varminting i am hoping it will be fine for the job...time will tell. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoot Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Martin Sorry to have to say this..................................... but that is one ugly bit of plastic! I'm not that au fait with synthetic stocks but £130 seem a lot of money for such an item. You obviously like it and feel that £130 was a steal which is all that counts at the end of the day.

Guest 308Panther Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I am willing to bet you set a new worlds record strippin the old stock off and mounting the new one.... 35 seconds tops...and that includes lookin for tools. I hear that once set up for you...and you only, they are an extremly comfortable stock to shoot/use. Tho a touch heavy...but that isnt always a bad thing either. Looks good to me. 308Panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 They arent the prettiest of stocks, but i tell you what, get down behind one prone, and you realise the designer was a genius, those stocks dont move anywhere, and have a whole host of excellent features. Handsome is , as handsome does in my opinion, and that was a bargain price buddy. Who was selling them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest varmartin Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hoot......you are correct in the fact that it is ugly.....It is all so very `attractive` for the right reasons not the wrong ones. 308Panther....the action was in the stock in about 30 sec`s, but out even faster as i had to open up the barrel channel to allow it to free float. I may even synthetic bed the action and the chamber area of the barrel too, not that it needs it as the fit is very good in the solid alloy `V` bed chassis system incorporated in the stock. Col48.... back at ya. baldie....Got it from Rifle craft, brand new. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest varmartin Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 My Custom rem 700 ,Kreiger barrel 6mmBR with jewell trigger and Loop 6.5-20x 50. OK...I have got used to the new stock now and shot a few groups with it. It shot very well before, but feel it now shoots better and is also more stable off a bench or prone and off a bonnet. Below are some before and after groups... Oh Yeh....and the coin is to keep in the spirit of current trends With standard VLS stock. In new Plaster Sniper Stock.
