New Boyds' Stock arrived (finally) and it's killer!

[SaskShooter]

Well, thanks to all who weighed in on my free-float problem on my .243. In the end I decided to bite the bullet and just buy a new stock rather than keep trying to reanimate the old synthetic. So, I got a Boyds' Varmint Thumbhole in Applejack Laminate color.

It took about two weeks to arrive, but at least it made it across the border!

I will be glass and pillar bedding it soon, but I couldn't resist just trying it out when it arrived. I just HAD to scratch my itchy trigger finger, so I zeroed in and headed out calling. Later that evening I got my first critter with the new stock- a fox at 225 yards. All I could see was his head, so that's where the bullet went!
(Yes, this is legal for me, because my family raises chickens and the foxes like to eat our chickens)

Very nice rig! The gray in the stock and the s/s look awsome. The red sets if off. Is that a viper 6x20x44 a top it?

Judging by the covered caps and the eye piece the scope looks to be one of the new HS series scopes. And I really like that color combination!!

The scope is a Vortex Viper HS 4-16X44 with the Dead-Hold BDC reticle. And yes, it IS very nice!

I've been looking at these stocks for a few weeks now, and they look really sweet ... nice job bro.

Nice stock Ive got the same one on my 280AI except mines just the walnut color and I love it. I will be getting another one for some future project.
