Just had a brain fart and wondered if there was a wood replacement stock for the Optima 2, which I’m pretty impressed with. Sure enough, Boyds offers them, starting at $96 for the butt and $74 for the forend.
Actually, I like the factory ambi buttstock pretty well, but the forend is too square. Not sure about the comb height on the Boyds. I’d want to check that before buying. That thing kicks pretty good with 100gr and I’d not want it coming up hard on my pretty cheek.
What fresh Hell is this?

A few of the Boyd’s stocks I’ve had felt a little square to me

Can't answer to the comb height but the picture they have of the standard buttstock looks like it has some drop to it. Maybe the thumbhole version would be higher? The added weight would probably help with the recoil and, being wood, it could be reshaped pretty easily. This color combination would go good with your buffalo plaid coat  ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/kg5vgHBj/IMG_5294.jpg)

Alas, I gave up my buffalo plaid stuff long ago and far away.
That forend looks pretty dang chunky, and as fastleo16 said, pretty square to boot. Seems to be a trend as the 700 Alpha 1 has a squarish one too. Thanks for the pic though…
