Finally got my new boyd's stock ;-)

[Combat_Wombat]

I've only got a sporter stock from boyds recently and although the action dropped in I needed to sand out a few millimetres to get the barrel to free float properly as it was touching on the left side. Also had to sand out a few mm to get the bolt handle to close without any resistance. Not a major concern for a cheap stock but I know a bloke got a thumbhole stock at the same time for his tikka and had the same problem. Possibly a bad batch because it's the only two cases I've heard of aside from people sanding to fit varmint barrels in.

I've heard of a few that had to do the bolt handle and channel, I always open my channels up regardless, haven't had to do any of the handle area on any of them though (5 stocks now) all been a straight drop in fit which is always pleasing to see.

G'day,

I can't find any stock from Boyds now under USD$129 on their site, so they wont send them to AUS. Anyone know how we can import under these new $100 rules or are we screwed now? Anyone sell these in AUS at a price that isn't ridiculous?

Gus

Thanks lads.

there's nothing wrong with the plastic one functionally and i didn't mind it for looks at first, but i agree with you bigfella... after a while i just wanted to get something a lot nicer looking. i actually wanted to get a hardwood hunter style with stippling, trimmings etc, but given it was over the $100 export limit, boyd's just wouldn't except the order

I used the USD to check the float. only reason i got it as i just got back yesterday from a trip to sri lanka and bloody Colombo airport would only change my rupee's to yank $.... i felt so dirty.. lol

at USD$99 plus postage, these stocks rock!!

here's their website pic of it... a bit clearer...

Yeah. The $99 limit is pretty silly. I'd like a pepper Prairie for my tikka. How much is postage? The US$ is 1.3 AU$ so about AU$130 atm.

Hunting Haven have them.

[wade06]

Hunting Haven looks good though. Hopefully they can order in specific type and colours.
