Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Boyd's Stocks

Got a decent deal (for today's market) on a NIB 10/22 with a synthetic stock and pulled the trigger on a Boyd's laminate rimfire hunter to replace the tupperware. Anyone using one of these? Did it require any inletting work or drop right in?

Depends on how old your action is. I replaced the stock on a brand new 10-22 and it dropped right in. The other 10-22 is about thirty years old and took a lot of dremelling on the stock to get it to fit. However it fit perfect on the newer action.

YMMV

It's brand new. Thanks!

I put one of my 10/22's in the Boyds spike camp a couple months ago. Mine was a great fit. No gaps and it didn't bind. I realize it's not a hunter but I imagine the inletting has got to be close to the same. Guys and gals of all ages shoot my 22 really well, rested or offhand.

Good deal. They CNC everything as far as I know, so tolerances should be pretty uniform. I was looking for a "sporter" model with the walnut, non-barrel band stock but couldn't pass on the deal for the synthetic model. Still money ahead with the Boyd's and the laminate is probably better anyway. Needed a budget walkaround rabbit/squirrel rifle that will also serve for varmints that are tempted to mess with chickens. Plus, I've been too many years without a 10/22. Sort of a crime not to have one.

This will be my first Boyd's stock. If I like it I might consider one for a centerfire as well. Seems to be a lot of bang for the buck. McMillan et al are getting too rich for my blood these days, and uber-lightweight isn't a concern for my needs.

Appreciate the replies.

I also put a Boyds on my 788 in 222. Didn't improve the accuracy any but it made it a whole different rifle.

I’ve had a couple Boyd’s laminates on center fires, Rem 700 and a Sako. They are not a McMillan, but are less than half the cost and little wait time. They’re a very good value, in my view.
