Still researching my option and have a question wrt Boyd's Evo stock.

How does it compare weight wise to a regular wood stock savage mk II or CZ 455.


I plan to shoot silhouette standing without sling.

Thanks
 
I put a Boyd’s Evo stock on my Cz 452 scout. The laminated stock is much heavier,really noticeable. One other thing the length of pull, I had to add a slip on recoil pad, it’s much shorter than the standard stock,at least to me to be comfortable. It was easier than trying to fit a screw in pad.

I have never used the EVO on a CZ, but did use several on 10/22 platform builds. The Rutland birch ply used by Boyds is very dense and this quite heavy, but the EVO is the lightest of their stock designs and I would hazard a guess that the weight is pretty close to equal that of the factory walnut stock. Boyds standard LOP is 13.5", but you can order any LOP that you want.
 
Being new to custom shooting sports, is there a method to determine your LOP

There are various methods to calculate length of pull. Here's one of them that is not uncommon: "To measure your length of pull you should measure from the pad of your index finger to the inside of your bicep. It is important to make sure your index finger is in the position as if you were shooting the gun."

There is no exact number for LOP comfort... I am 6'4" and I am quite comfortable shoot anything from 13.25" to 14.5"... too long is worse than too short. Your sighting system (irons vs bench scope vs compact scope) and shooting form/style (prone vs bench etc...) makes a big difference too. LOP comfort depends a great deal on how you position your body on the stock, and this can be dictated by your shape, the clothes you are wearing and how your optics are set-up (hopefully optimized for you). Your best bet is to drop in to a gunshop and try a few guns, when you find one that feels just right measure from the back of the buttplate to the inside curvature of the trigger... order that dimension for your new stock.
