Plain ones will be $99. You can add options now though.

The 100 dollar is increased to 500 now as of a few months ago too if you hadnt heard..
Wasnt sure if you were talking budget wise or export restrictions,

 

[kamlooky]

I was thinking the same thing.
That Stevens of yours is sure an eye catcher.

Given the design of the axis trigger guard,i am just curious how they will pull it off.Will axis owners have to buy a different trigger guard and mag set up?

From Boyds

This stock is designed for the Savage Short Action Detachable Box Magazine rifles with top bolt release. The magazine release is located on the bottom of the floorplate.

These stocks are designed for the 3 piece design DBM parts as found on wood stocks. Some plastic stocked models will require you to purchase additional parts from Savage or Brownells. Not designed for old style side magazine release.

Also it looks like the Classic, Prairie Hunter & Featherweight Thumbhole are the ones to be offered. I know of a cartain T3 .300WSM that'll be getting a Pepper Laminate stock once avail. Sure beats paying $675 for the Tikka version...

Still better then having to deal with that crappy stock they use. Also no different then the savage rimfire conversion. Have to buy $50 in parts form savage to do it.

Would Love if they had a stock for my savage smokeless ML.

 

[Windknot]

Finally!! The .204 T3 is getting new furniture...Hmmm, applejack...

 

[deerfarmer]

I foresee a surplus of T3 stocks coming up on the exchange Nice to know they will be offering them at last. I don't own a tikka ...yet

Hometownhero,let us know how it fits and what they did for mag retention. I'm looking at them also.

Well I got on their mailing list and got an email yesterday.

Looks like they added a small plate for the mag retention and the recoil lug is included. As for having to buy extras to make it work? Nope just the 2 take-down screws from the existing stock and you're good to go.

The plastic trigger guard on the original stock is replaced by a new metal one included on the Boyd design. I'm putting this one on my "I've got to get list" in the Prairie Hunter model done up in pepper laminate.

I still wish Bob Fortier was still making his, but this is a nice inexpensive alternative.

They have a video on youtube that kind of shows it. Comes with new trigger guard, recoil lug, and mag retention piece for $99. You can add any extras you want to it as well.

 

[kamlooky]

Prairie Hunter or Classic?
What's your flavor?

I like the look of the Prarie hunter in nutmeg.I have the forest camo on marlin 60,pepper on the 7400 so I guess it's time for nutmeg.I seen earlier in this post the limit is $500 now for international customers,but there Site still says $100?I know they are $99 but it would be nice to get the checkering since I couldn't before due to price.
