dannyt Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Just had a quick look through the Midway web page and I could not believe the value of the Boyd stock , thumb hole laminate full inlet for under £170.00 . Cant beat that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgobang88 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi, I've used Boyds 'Tacticool' stocks on CZ rimfires, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality considering the price (under $100 in the US). The machined inletting was near perfect, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've got both Boyds and Richards microfit, the Boyds to me are a better laminate, better inlet (Richards forget to inlet the recoil lug despite extra cost) and with out a shadow of a doubt supplied with a much better finish, my most recent Richards stock looked like a thumbhole fence post when it arrived. I'm thinking of ordering a Boyds light varmint for my Ruger M77 MK2 soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22-250jock Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 bought a boyds thumbhole laminated about 4 yrs ago direct from boyds, iirc by the time i paid shipping and taxes it ended up costing around £140, excellent stock for the money, finish is good and the only extra needed on the inletting was to open the barrel channel slightly also have a richards microfit, totally different story, inletting was only 80% at best, however, this one was bought unfinished and did sand down quite easily and ended up looking pretty good, if not a bit on the heavy side cheers jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyt Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 when I looked on the web site at boyds, there un in let stocks seem to be under £100.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22-250jock Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 when i bought mine they could only export if the price was under $90.00 for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 If weight is no issue and you don't mind the look of laminate, Boyds stocks are a steal. I landed at std sporter one here in NZ for 69 quid including freight. Sure, you've got to final fit and finish them off but I couldn't believe how cheaply they can sell them. For a utility stock, they're very good value Chris-NZ PS Jock's right- you don't need export paperwork if the value is under US$100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think they post international orders up to the value of $99.00 not including shipping. The ones I have ordered have come out at £120.00 to £140.00 by the time they have made it to my door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungle_re Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 i've just sold one from a .243 rem 700 thats getting turned into something else at the moment, had it on the rifle for about 5 years i think and can't fault it other than having a short LOP at just over 13" if remember correctly, that could have been easily sorted with a different butt pad but I never bothered. George/Gbal from this parish has the stock now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 .....and he's very pleased with it,thankS,Will.rem 700 17 just dropped straight in,no problems,and looks good even with its ultra slim barrel.Cant fault the Boyd,great value. I even found a Rem thick but soft butt pad in my local gunshop as the Boyd is perhaps a little short if you have long arms -easily spaced/padded and fixed.

Gunsgobang88 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hi, If ordering from Midway UK then they have already sorted out shipping, import/export paperwork etc. Allowing for this, the prices they are quoting are competitive. If ordering from either Midway US or Boyds themselves then the $100 limit would apply, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
