[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1161435, member: 229"] The factory stocks suck - I've got an extra factory Varmint stock you can have (I tried to give it away to another member who no-showed on me the other day). If you're going to upgrade the stock and make this a long-term project - I'd recommend getting the cheapest ADL rifle (or action only if you can) out there and just replace the barrel, recoil-lug and stock and you'll have a true shooter. I did an SPS Varmint for mine and a regular ADL for my son's and his was much cheaper and I had a lot less stuff I didn't need left over. The Choate is an upgrade from factory, but its not a very good step for the money. They suffer from poor QC and while its aluminum bedded, it doesn't provide a good machined fit against the factory action and recoil lug. There are more than a few threads in this section about this very topic, but to save you some time, if you're looking to save money, get a Bell Carlson from Stocky's Stocks. [url]http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/StoreFront[/url] I've got the B/C and an HS and I think they're about the same quality and the B/C was cheaper. If you want detachable mags, then you're going to spend more than the gun either way for a quality setup (unless you get a long-action caliber like .270, .30-06, .300Win Mag, etc... - there are factory and cheaper setups out there for long-action, but none for short-action that are worth a crap). I'd agree that there are more important things to get first though - optics, a good 20MOA base (if you're going to stretch it out and shoot to the rifle's capability), good rings, and good optics.
