Title: Boyds stocks
Post by: flashover52 on October 11, 2009, 10:51:01 AM: Has anyone had any experience with one of the featherlight riflt stocks made by Boyds Gunstock Industries? It looks like they're having a sale and I've been contemplating buying a thumbhole stock for a while. At $99 for a finished stock, it seems like a good price.

Are these decent value for the money?

That was before Boyd's moved to a much more dealer-centric model of distributing their product (vs selling direct to the consumer). Since then, I haven't found a single thing I've wanted; they've cut back their direct inventory way back. YMMV

this is a very old post but i am interested in putting a new thumbhole stock on my 7mm.
i have what they call a "walmart M70 with floor plate molded into the plastic. do these stocks require action bedding? is that very hard to do?
