Savage 10FP folding Choate opinions

[panrobercik]

Looking to buy one of those. Not crazy about the folding stock but I want the short barrel.
I'd like to hear some opinions on this rifle (from someone who has one )

Come on, somebody must have one of those ....

I have one, ditched the folder Shoots very good, great factory trigger, shoots Fed GGM ammo into an inch at 100yrds, puts its favorite handload into .5"

Before and after

What about this one;

The specs say 20", and the overall length spec is the same as the folder. Granted, the picture doesn't look like 20".

I like the Choate, just not sure about the folding option. 20 inch barrel is what I want . How bad is the folding stock ?

 

[JDGray]

The folder shot the same as my fixed stock, so its pretty good accuracy wise. It did have a tiny bit of play with it open, and you would need a duffle bag to carry it in, if its closed, since its so thick. For Law Enforcment, it would be ideal

 

[panrobercik]

is the play noticeable while aiming, or just when you open and actually make it wiggle ?

 

[JDGray]

Never felt any while aiming. I added a washer in the lock mechanism to add spring tension, and it tighten it a bit. Its a good stock, but I just didn't need a folder. The camo 10FP has the accustock, and should work well, if you like camo

I actually like the pistol grip , Choate or thumbhole and 20 inch barrel. The folder and the camo one are the only ones with 20 inch.
I have a Weather Warrior in 223 and I really don't like the shape of the stock. My face is too low and I can't rest my cheek on the stock while bench shooting. Not that there is anything wrong with it, just not made for me.
