I'm taking the easy (but more expensive option now), Boyd's won't reply to emails so i'm going to get a custom made stock from Ken Noye, he's quoted me $560 for a thumbhole stock made to fit me. I'll be getting Pete Van Meurs to put it together for me also.

Sucks that Boyd's won't reply.

I hate it when businesses are going good that they will start ignoring or dismissing potential customers because they're not hungry for the business.

Poor form.

Yeah it's a bit disappointing but unfortunately I can't do much about it...

Ben I have one of Ken's stocks on my Rem700 SA that PVM re barrelled and trued the action, I'm very happy with it. I'll be chatting to PVM soon as I'm looking at building a 17FB on a CZ527 action and want Ken to make a stock out of black heart sassafras.

Yeah, both of those guys have a very good name with the target shooters, can't see any problems with them building me a hunting rifle!
