Never ceases to amaze me how nice the Boyds stocks are for so little money, and the fact that you can entirely customize everything about it is pure awesome.
That is exactly the stock I would love on my axis 25 - 06 . Perfect. How much did it cost at Boyd's if you dont mind me askin. I've gone to website and so many options almost overwhelming. Love the channel bubba. Great job.
Great review. Just ordered the heritage stock with the nutmeg laminate and also ordered a metal trigger guard and metal magazine post for my Savage Axis II in 308. Very excited to get it all set up.
I love your taste in rifles. I am on a 22lr kick right now because I cant really afford to shoot much else but my first hunting rifle was a savage 110 in 243. I bought the wooden stock. I cant hunt with that where I live now so I actually am thinking about making it into a long range shooter.
Since my last comment below I acquired a Tikka T3X in 7mm Rem Mag in blued/synthetic. Great shooting gun but I wanted to change the stock to wood. Contacted Stoeger Canada who handles Tikka, Sako and others but they wanted $1000 for grey laminate stock. So in looking at your video I intend to go with Boyd’s in the Prairie Hunter. I believe this is a nicer option than the factory stock. And with Stoeger Canada to charge $1000 (with tax $1050) for their laminate stock when the T3X stainless/laminate rifle is $1500 seems quite ridiculous.
Boyd is a very good stop. If they could only put it on RUclips and put the code number on there, they would sell a 1000 times more and on top of that, these budget rifles are good. But the stocks are that's where they save their money and it should be against the law. Get a budget rifle, if you know how to pillar bitit. Do it and if you know how to bet a gun do it , you can't get a better gun
Those pre-Accutrigger Savages and Stevens 200s are also easy to fit with a Timney trigger, which I like better than the Accutrigger. Timney has instructions on RUclips
I bought a M,Carbo trigger spring kit and my Savage Axis in 6.5 CM went from a factory setting of 7 lbs to 2.5 lb trigger pull. My next task is to bed the stock it's already sub moa at 100 yds. I just want to stiffin up that stock a little bit and put some weight in the butt stock to balance the gun out.
I have a BOYDS AT-1 Stock after it was bedded it is a tack driver Remington 783 in .223 10x40 x 60mm Optic. 16.5 " Heavy Threaded Barrel its a good Coyote Hunter .
I think you need all the optional appointments to make that heavy, squared-off forend look good. On a solid relatively unadorned wood stock, I prefer a slimmer rounded profile to the forend. The original Savage 110 stock from the late '50s - early '60s is a good example of what I'm talking about.
@The Social Regressive, it's a 30-06 for hill county hunting. With a pic rail on the stock great for the range and a bipod. 450bm ar for thick cover hunting in the northwood.
@@SocialRegressive thank you but I mean specifically a nice classic walnut with great checkering etc like this one on your savage. I have the same savage rifle too. Could I call Boyds and they make me one for the 10/22?
Yes, they do. If you order the right setup, the bottom metal should slot right in. Be prepared for a little fitting work, though. It might not match up exactly right.
@@SocialRegressive Your "fitting work" usually only entails a few swipes with some sandpaper; nothing major. If it becomes major, then you've got a gun variant from the manufacturer that Boyds doesn't have in their CNC machines, and that's when you want to call Boyds (when the bottom metal doesn't fit at all and it looks like major work needs to be done to fit). 🙂
If you experience cracking, then 99% of the time it's operator error, and most likely in the installation. Many people just seem to ignore Boyds' instructions regarding torqueing of the screws. You really need to torque down your screws correctly.
@@WeGoWalk the ones that I saw complaints about were before installation of the action and arrived to the purchaser that way. Poor pillar bedding job from the factory

I have upgraded many of my rifles and friend's rifles to Boyd's stocks. Love the fit and balance.
Just mounteds myfirst Boyds stock. Great stock. Beautiful. Great fit. I'm a customer for life.
That’s top notch, you definitely outdid yourself on that one!
😉
Good looking stock. Boyd’s have some good ones for sure.

Great presentation. Beautiful stock!
I really like Boyd's. I put a Heritage on my 300 Win Mag and just recently a Prarie Hunter on 7mm-08
Two killer chamberings. Nice!
Great review. Just ordered the heritage stock with the nutmeg laminate and also ordered a metal trigger guard and metal magazine post for my Savage Axis II in 308. Very excited to get it all set up.
I think you'll love it. If you want to epoxy-bed it sometime, I have a video series on the Axis.
I am not planning to bed it right now, but I am not against the idea down the road. I will certainly check your vids out, thanks.
Kyle, as always, excellent video! Love the detail you put into these.
I appreciate that!

That'll work! .243 is a hoot.

That's a crazy price. I think you'll like the prairie hunter. Just be prepared for a little fitting work.
I just bought that same stock for my ruger american 270 in forest camo
The forest camo rocks, especially here in Oklahoma. It disappears nicely.
@@SocialRegressive same here in Louisiana. Let me tell you this is a beautiful stock. I got the fleur-de-lis with the fish scale engraving on it.
How do you like this stock on your 270? I have the same ruger american in 270 I've been wanting to upgrade for awhile.
@@jasonmorris159 looks beautiful and adds rigidity. Overall I'm happy with it
I've been thinking about exact same rifle I looked at in in a shop recently.
The floating bolt head is like magic. These are almost always decent shooters. If you can find an accutrigger model, even better.
@@SocialRegressive yes sir I've had several all were very accurate. One I recently saw is a old model. But it's cheap. Thinking about a cheap build.
Quite attractive
That's a nice stock

Who makes that monster of a scope?
Got a winchester 7 mag kicks pretty good would love to have a stock like that on it very nice
It would be a match made in heaven. Great cartridge choice.
I love the @one!
I think you need all the optional appointments to make that heavy, squared-off forend look good. On a solid relatively unadorned wood stock, I prefer a slimmer rounded profile to the forend. The original Savage 110 stock from the late '50s - early '60s is a good example of what I'm talking about.
I'm with you. It doesn't have that classic, slim forend. This fatter one ain't as pretty, but I kinda like how it fills my hands.
Because it can be changed back when you sell it. I do like the look of walnut. Good video.
Beautiful stock!
That's a beautiful gun...
You can do anything with plastic but love it.
You win the day, Colonel K! Wisdom!
You can do anything with plastic...except make it not move on you, and make it beautiful. 🙂
Thank you 😊
Beautiful 👍
I was really pleased with the end result.
Looks great. I like my Boyd's spike camp stock. Thanks to your bedding videos I decided to buy one.
How have you used yours so far? Range? Hunting?
@The Social Regressive, it's a 30-06 for hill county hunting. With a pic rail on the stock great for the range and a bipod. 450bm ar for thick cover hunting in the northwood.
That things flippin sweet!
Would you sell the old stock?
KEEP IT
😭 I wish!
Are the Axis 2 and 110 stocks interchangeable? I have a 6.5 CM short action.
No, they aren't. But you can specify your action at boyds. I have a whole video series dedicated to accurizing the Axis in a boyds stock.
Is this the standard or the high gloss?
are those kind of stocks available for other models like ruger 10-22?
The 10/22 has a whole bunch of shapes available. I think Boyds even has some for the takedown model.
@@SocialRegressive thank you but I mean specifically a nice classic walnut with great checkering etc like this one on your savage. I have the same savage rifle too. Could I call Boyds and they make me one for the 10/22?
Good looking... nice
Do they have a solution that works with the DBM's most new Savage rifles come with.
Yes, they do. If you order the right setup, the bottom metal should slot right in. Be prepared for a little fitting work, though. It might not match up exactly right.

Seen quite a few complaints lately of Boyd's stocks cracking around the bedded pillars. Any 3xperience with that?
I had a laminate At-One crack between the rear pillar and the trigger well, but it was my fault. I torqued down without a piece in place.
If you experience cracking, then 99% of the time it's operator error, and most likely in the installation. Many people just seem to ignore Boyds' instructions regarding torqueing of the screws. You really need to torque down your screws correctly.
@@WeGoWalk the ones that I saw complaints about were before installation of the action and arrived to the purchaser that way. Poor pillar bedding job from the factory
Awesome. Takes a modern rifle (i.e. cheap) and turns it into a traditional, high quality rifle.
How much for one exactly like this one??
