I've bought , inlet, and finished three from Richard's microfit. I think they were all purchased as factory seconds to get the wood upgrade. This was back when I was younger, had more time and less money. I've heard it said that they have done 90% of the easy work!

Two had some type of inletting issues that were not a deal killer if you didn't mind a small amount of bedding material being visible, but they were on Mauser actions. The one I used on a model seven was better, probably because Remington was more consistent that the dozens of companies that made Mausers.

My experience with Boyd's has been that they are drop in but will show bedding material too.

These days I would buy a synthetic because I don't get upset if I scratch them, and I tend to be tough on my rifles.
