The classic and prairie hunter can be used Bambi as well. I had a prairie hunter and had no problems shooting it left handed.
I put one on my savage axis .30-06 earlier this year... Accuracy is non existent right now I'm gonna have to get it properly bedded though the shop I got it from swore it would be good to go as is. No regrets as it is a beautiful piece that makes my rifle a hell of a lot better more comfortable than it was previously.
no real change (better or worse) when I took my model 700 XHR out of the plastic stock and put it in the Boyds stock.
I didn't bed the rifle into the Boyds stock, just dropped it in and shot it.
2 different loads, but the accuracy is there.
first target was the first day I shot the rifle, breaking in the barrel. Shots # 6, 7, & 8 from a new rifle.
(disregard the mistake I made when I wrote down the group size, should be 0.31", not 0.031")
this picture is the first 2 groups I shot after putting the rifle into the new stock.

I highly recommend that in a Boyds stock, and especially the laminates, at the very least bed the recoil lug and save yourself a cracked stock. I custom cut on my lathe aluminum pillars and bed all of them. Recoil lug and action. I just completed repairs on a laminate prairie hunter for a friend. It was cracked starting at the recoil lug recess all the way back to the pistol grip. It would have been expensive for him to replace it with another since he had it stippled. I had to pin it, gouge out the cracks and use plenty of acragel.
The inlet on my Boyd's Prairie Hunter for a Tikka T3 is atrocious. Loose and crooked, with an angle between the trigger guard/plate and receiver. There is even an angle between the action screw holes and the receiver inlet. The inlet for the trigger guard is vile, as well. complete piece of junk.
