Looking to up date the Ruger from a Butler Creek stock, and am torn between the above two.

Instinct tell me that the Boyds will be more solid & accurate, but is it more suited to bench rest shooting?

The Hogue looks like it will take abuse in the field & be a little lighter but i know there may be some flex & bedding issues.

The gun will be mostly used for small game but id like to get her reasonably accurate and increase effective range a bit more.

Anyone any experience of either or both the stocks.
 
I have used both and you seem to have hit the nail on the head with everything except the Hogue being more durable. The Hogue will show marks from being drug through the woods where the laminate will not. Myself, I prefer the hogue, but the laminate will be more accurate out of the box, so to speak.
 
sorry what I meant by more durable was it being weather proof and more resistant to warping(extreme heat aside) and not really matter if it gets marked up. How do you rate the fit and feel of the two. Is there much weight difference when youre lugging it around the field?

Laminates are pretty much weather and warp proof...
I found the hogue had too much flex for my liking, and went back to the OEM laminate stock. Solid, and not much difference in weight.

Tacticool says hardwood, and close to 3lbs, not ideal for the bush, better for the bench. You could probably find an OEM laminate on Ebay for cheap.
 
cheers for the replies. Yeah is read that the ones made for ruger for the tactical 10/22 had flex issues but if they all suffer from or I might stick to laminate.
