While I have a Remington 700, I went with the Choate stock first. It was cheap and a bit more comfortable to shoot than the H-S Precision stock that came on the rifle with it's better adjustment. Finally, I got tired of the weight of the thing and went with a McMillian A4 stock. I found nirvana with this stock! Comfortable, adjustable lighter than the Choate stock and most of all, didn't ahve that ^&*($#(Q thumbhole stock! The problem with thumbhole stocks is that you have to stickyour thumb in and out before you can work the bolt. This makes for an awkward stock to use. My advice is to go with the McMillan from the start. They do drop in, but I bedded mine just to get it tighter than the factory inleted stock.
