Howa SA Tactical Stock by Choate

The Choate Stock is a very good upgrade to my 6.5 Creedmoor 24” HB by Howa. The OEM Stock was fine for normal operations but had to much flex in the for-end. I will say it had no problem with a Quarter MOA @100 - 200 yrds. Also Half MOA 300 - 400, well built Barreled Receiver by Howa. The Choate Stock with acquired torque specs went on with no problem, Start 20 Inch Lbs to 60 Inch Lbs with 5 Inch Lb increments. This was true in the start, but ended up with 85 Inch Lbs due to the bullet spread walking up the target. All trial and error but no complaints, Now if you are a tall person with LONG arms I will suggest you acquire the extension to the Butt stock (Comfort). In regards to your cheek weld make sure you acquire the riser for the stock combing. You will make note of this very fast once you change your stock over to the Choate, my OEM stock I created a built up riser for correct eye alignment in my scope. This is a great buy for that person who enjoys real good shooting and finding your Zone. Those who wonder about the weight, just fine it was just about were I had my OEM stock with weight added for balance. The rail on the bottom is a fine piece, this not only allows you to add your Bipod - with a couple of turns you can loosen you Bipod and slide back for down angled trajectory and still be in your Zone. Hope this helps!!!

The stock arrived quickly and the quality was top notch. All workmanship was excellent, machining and molding. Excellent choice for the howa 1500 barrelled action setup.

A solid bench-rest stock with an excellent aluminum foundation for the Howa 1500 SA barreled action. I have an unfired 6mm Creedmoor that came with a competitor's over-molded stock. The forend was so spongy I set it aside and used adjustable laminate stocks from a Norwegian company for several other Howa barreled actions. I decided to try a Choate and am happy with the quality. Still need to break in the barrel and add some spacers, but I like the solid feel of the stock. The Anshutz rail and side sling mounts are great features, too.

Quality stock. Well suited to PRS and target shooting although it is on the heavy side. Plenty of barrel clearance and almost no flex. Bipod sling swivel position easily adjusted and also easy to lock into place.

Product came right on time and packaged sufficiently. The staff were very helpful in answering some questions I had pertaining to build quality. This stock is all as advertised and SOLID as a rock. My Howa barreled action seemed to drop right in and the factory trigger guard fit like a glove too. The weight is hefty and for a varmint rifle that's ok.its not going to be one for the long walk.
