I have two Boyd's stocks. One on a Remington 722 and the other on a 700 SPS. Both work great and are an improvement over the factory stocks. I would buy another when the time comes for a replacement.
EFW - sweet looking stock. Wish I had known about the checkering option before I ordered mine. Pretty much straight drop in for the 700 but I did bed it. The standard finish is a rather nice even matte.
I tossed around the idea of trimming the fore end but not confident I wouldn't bugger it up. Thought of refinishing just to have a current project but always change my mind when I pull it out of the case. Looks too good as is.
When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of . Confucius
