Boyd's stock opinions

[huntandfishguy6]

I don't have one yet but I'm going to buy one for a Ruger American. I have read the reviews, I'm not worried about minor fitting.

[txfireguy2003]

I put one on my wife's 243, and i've done about 4 or 5 others. The one on her rifle required a little sanding in the barrel channel to free float, ands a little sanding in the trigger guard inletting. Nothing i couldn't do with sand paper wrapped around a wood dowel. The other Remingtons and Ruger Americans needed no additional fitting.

I'm about to order the stock. Just want to confirm with yall since I haven't found anything specifying for certain. For my 223 I need the short action, is that correct? Thanks.

Hendo, I haven't seen a heavy thumb hole stock, only the featherweight. Do you know if they still make them?

Sorry been busy for the last week. I believe it is called the featherweight but it added quite a bit of weight compared to a synthetic stock and I’m sure changed where the weight is felt most. I added one to a youth model .308 as well as an updrafts recoil pad for my wife because she was clenching and the stock alone helped tremendously.

I put a Savage action in one. Took about 20 mins of work on the barrel channel and it fit perfectly.

Savage action in a Boyd's Prairie hunter. Barrel channel depending on barrel size may need to be opened. I would suggest minimum pillar bedding, makes a great difference. Here is a link to my build and bedding diy.

That is sweet looking.

Boyd’s Prairie Hunter on a Ruger American Predator .308. Took a little sanding to get it to fit just right.
