The heart of this rifle is Savage’s Model 10 action with a floating two-lug bolt head and cocking indicator, paired to the barrel via Savage’s locknut headspacing system. The tang safety includes a red indicator for quick visual status. The receiver is drilled and tapped and comes fitted with two-piece Weaver/Picatinny bases.
The 24-inch heavy/varmint-profile barrel is free-floated and finished with a recessed target crown and an unthreaded muzzle, emphasizing consistency and clean bullet exit. Chambered in .260 Rem, this setup supports precision-focused use with single-round loading (capacity 1).
The Choate Ultimate Sniper stock, designed by Maj. John Plaster, provides a stable, ergonomic foundation. It features an adjustable cheekpiece, rear monopod, a vertical butt hook, and a rubber recoil pad. Length of pull measures 13 inches and is adjustable via spacers to fine-tune fit.
An underside accessory T-rail on the fore-end accepts the included spring-leg bipod, adding front-end stability. An oversized knurled bolt knob is installed for enhanced bolt control, with the original round knob included.
The stock’s polymer construction with a gray and black speckle finish delivers durability and a non-distracting sightline. Built in the United States, this configuration blends Savage’s proven action geometry with a purpose-built stock and practical accessories.
