Put it this way, you probably won't need to, but sooner or later you'll probably want to. I'd get the stock, drop the action in (if the stock is a "drop in" replacement) and see how it shoots and go from there. I have no experience with Choate stocks, so I can't comment on their "out of the box" fit or function.
