Tikka laminated stock decision

[wilehunting]

I'm trying to decide between the factory Tikka laminated stock or the Boyds laminated stock available through Midwest gun works to replace the factory plastic stock. Thoughts? Thanks

Consider the Boyd's At-One. Pretty nice job of incorporating an adjustable cheekrest and buttpad at that price point.

Just order directly through Boyd's. I personally prefer the Pro Varmit. Add in the adjustable cheek piece(not quick adjust, but works well).
The At-One is nice, but hate the square lines. The Agility has the same quick adjust LOP as the At-One, but more rounded lines. I don't like the tapered fore end though. Add in the adjustable cheek piece.

Order the Boyd's except have them install the better pad on it.

I have had 2 factory laminate Tikka stocks, thought I foolishly sold one. Bought another rifle with the laminate stock, side by side with the same rifle/caliber in plastic, the laminate had more noticeable felt recoil. Sold that stock and replaced it with the Boyd's Platinum, much better.

The Boyd's Platinum is not that much different the the Boyd's one that Midwest sells. I could believe the plastic one could flex under recoil.

Thats because it's a Boyd Platinum, look at the comb of the factory Tikka versus the Boyd's, they are not alike
