Thoughts on Boyd’s stocks

[Lnewton]

I have a TC venture 30-06 that is a good shooter, nothing fancy but shoots well. I have been wanting to do something with it but not spend too much so I have been checking in to the Boyd's stocks. They have lots of features and from what I have read are made fairly well. My question is simply if any here have tried them and if so, what are your thoughts, not really considering other brands because I am not aware of any otherS that have a decent price point for a cheaper rifle such as the Thompson. Really, more than anything, it will dress up the plastic.

I bought several Boyd's stocks for savages. The only rifle I never restocked was my TC venture 30-06. It shoots under a half minute with several loads so I'm not messing with perfection. Lol
They are decent stocks for some rifles that don't offer solid aftermarket options.

The overmold inserts just feel cheap on the venture. It just shoot well, just thought it might dress it up a little. I may not mess with it. The stocks just had a nice appearance.

I've also used several Boyds stocks - Remington 700, Savage 110, KIDD 22, Ruger 10-22, and some I can't remember. Fit has always been spot on- little if any inletting needed. I always bed them. They don't have bedding blocks like high end composite stocks. I think you can get them with pillars, but I never have. Solid bargain and the first place I look if I need a budget stock. Never been disappointed.

Agreed. Good bargain. If you have some time to kill and look through their rapid fire closeouts a lot of times you can pick up what you want for around $90-100. Have on multiple rifles and they shoot well. I always bed the recoil lug on them. The lightweight thumbhole is great prone. If going to a nasty climate to hunt i would stick with synthetic, but for most western hunts they have worked fine for me.

^^ I recently discovered the rapid fire and spike camp stocks (at Boyds). Great bargains!

Tagging in. Cemetery, I may be picking your brain later on these.

Good stock option on a budget. Bed it, install pillars if laminated, and have fun.

Bring it on. May be slim pickins.

Any good video links for bedding and adding pillars?

 

[snox801]

I have two and both are very good for the money. By far best bang for your buck.
I own some high end chassis and stocks which are of course better but I've never had a Boyd's not increase accuracy. Great stock for the money.

I own two laminated ones. I like them just fine. Of course, they are not super lightweight.
