Savage SA "Drop Box Mag" Tactical Stock by Choate

Lisa this is my 2nd Review after taking it to the range. Outstanding stock for the price, I also added a Harris Bi-pod, overall i have a new inexpensive platform with my Savage Model 11, now to look for an inexpensive model for the rifle.

OUTSTANDING FIT, cant wait to take it to the range, thanks Lisa....A+Rating

Fits my Savage Model 10 like a glove !With the Weaver Tactical scope, the bucks dont stand a chance this deer season.

Excellent fit. Just drop in and tighten bolts and ready for the range

Advantages: Great stock that just feels right.

Disadvantages: None

Too many problems getting thr barrel and action to fit

Advantages: $

Disadvantages: May be unsafe with a shorten front action screw

This stock can take AICS style mags if you have a gunsmith do the work. 1st, the cutout for the trigger guard is a little narrow and will need to be widened. Most importantly, there are aluminum stop plates that come down from the bedding block that need to be shortened. supply a accu-mag and a couple of rounds loaded without powder and primers, and the gunsmith can mill down those stop plates to the correct length. Lastly, go to a hardware store and get some various lengths of SS socket head bolts(1/4 X 28) because the factory bolts are likely to be too short, as was the case with mine. Lastly, have your scope base and action bedded while your at it for accuracy.

Advantages: Stiff stock with plenty of room for the barrel to float freely. solid bedding/pillar block.

Disadvantages: Minimum contact with the action on the bedding/pillar block. You definitely will want to glass bed your action so you have contact on a large surface, will accurize your rifle nicely.

Wanted a good bench/target style stock for my Savage 10-FCP SR. Finally took the plunge on this Choate and was very pleased! It works just fine with the factory Savage bottom metal and detachable magazine. Hard to beat any of the other options for this price! Added a Triad Tactical Stock pack to give proper comb height. Very Happy with the setup!

Advantages: Good price, good fit, quite comfortable.

Disadvantages: None

I'm impressed with the quality and fit. An excellent choice to replace flimsy cheap factory stock. Stock is rigid and looks great. Very happy with what I received.

Advantages: I like the full aluminum bed feature and the sliding bi-pod rail.

Disadvantages: I had to buy a different length action screw and bottom piece for the box magazine. Both were readily available and no big deal.

Ordered this as an upgrade to my savage 12FV. Fit was perfect and went to gather quickly. Once complete I had a very stable and accurate platform.

Advantages: Price and fit

Disadvantages: HEAVY
