[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 2237834, member: 84194"] Yes. I love it but it took some time for me to grow into it. The Model 112 action has a blind mag that is attached to the bottom of the action. It would not fit into the stock with that mag attached. I had to remove the magazine, cut a block of wood to fill up the magazine hole and epoxy a feed ramp onto the top. So the rifle is now a single feed which I now really like. The stock has a HUGE barrel channel that will accommodate a full bull barrel if desired. Choate is smart enough to leave enough of a gap around the safety tang so that it is floated. Some guys don't like that but I find that Savage actions shoot better when that tang is not touching the stock. The adjustments for LOP are made with allen head screws and tighten securely. You can even rotate the butt plate to better match your shoulder pocket if you need to. The thumbwheel on the side of the stock is easy to use to raise and lower the cheek piece which is needed to remove the bolt. The sling swivels are on the side of the stock so they don't interfere with the rifle movement when shooting off of bags. I've not carried it with a sling on the side yet to tell you how that would be. The pistol grip is hollow so I've filled it with small buckshot to add weight to the rifle. Yes, it's heavy at 17.4 pounds so it is not suited for packing around in the field. I shoot it off of the back of my truck that I installed an aluminum roll up tonneau cover onto. Makes a great shooting platform with a bipod and a bag. There is an Anschutz rail molded into the bottom of the forearm of the stock. I found a picatinny adapter to slide into that channel and then locked it down for an attachment point for my bipods. The stock is made with a full length bedding block that is V shaped for the action to nestle down into. I used a Dremel tool to rough that up and drilled holes into it and then epoxy bedded the action. I never liked V-blocks for accuracy. So far the last 4 chucks that I shot at died with one shot. One was 593 yards, two at 657, and one at 615 yards. [/QUOTE]
