Boyd's Hunting Rigs.. Who's got 'em?

[BwanaDave]

Looks like you have one of each, the Classic and Prairie Hunter?
If so, which one do you like the best for hunting?

Looky, Im kinda partial to the classic, it fits my hand better (slimmer) when carrying.

Hi guys!

I called Boyds stocks and asked them a few questions. Firstly, I told them I was left handed and have always shot right handed bolt rifles. Most stocks I can shoot just fine with, with the exception of rollover cheek pieces.

Ideally, I would like to stock my Ruger M77, Tang Saftey, with thier "Prairie Hunter" stock. But am unsure if it would be comfortable for me.

I wanted to ask them if they could inlet a stock for a right hand bolt, and put a left handed cheek piece on it.


When I talked to the Boyds stocks "lady", and she told me that thier stock designs would not be suitable for a left handed shooter! And that they dont make custom options for thier stocks.

Man! Now I am not sure if she even has a clue about thier stocks, or if I should just forget about ordering one! I am very dissappointed!

I even seen in the left handed stock section that they offer left hand prairie Hunter. And it says :


Left Hand Stocks
Boyds'® Replacement stocks come in a variety of makes and models for the Left Hand shooter. Boyds'® left hand stocks are available in the following designs; Classic, Featherweight Thumbhole, Prairie Hunter, and Sterling. Boyds'® also offer 3 different ambidextrous stocks in the following designs; SS Evolution®, Rimfire Hunter, and TactiCool. We offer options for a Left Hand Stock Right Hand Action and Left Hand Stock Left Hand Action.

Am I just SOL? Or will the standard right hand stocks suffice, as the factory ones have for years?!

I have a prairie hunter on my axis. Its a right handed bolt but I shoot left handed. Not a problem for me at all. Everything is great on it and nothing interferes at all.

My brother in law bought one for his Remington and it looks awesome. No problem with installation and very durable.

That sucks but at least boyds is shipping here and they are cheaper as well.

I love boyd stocks but when they put those plugs in the side of the stock its like taking a #### on a masterpiece, boyds really needs to do something about that.

Beauty! Both the rifle and the deer. Read a favourable review on the Marlins and have been keeping an eye out for one for a while now, one came along a while back but I had no cash in my stash. Looks like a great rig, thanks for showing us.

I could be wrong but I think the plugs in the side is to help strengthen them.
