Boyds Stock

warbird2006

I ordered Boyd Stock. I liked the Applewood red on their website, it was a custom order, extra $$.
When the stock arrived, we'll, it was awful. not as on the pictures, anything from the graining, the red color looked bleached.
After about hundred emails exchanged with Boyd's, they won't exchange it.
Anyone has same experience?
 
I've got over 20 Boyd's stocks , only a problem with one and they made good very quick . Send a pic , but I will say that they have a disclaimer concerning imperfections natural in wood .
 
There was a recent post over on savageshootersdotcom about a guy who had issues with a Boyd stock, and he posted the name of head of CS, sent him an email and got some results. I looked for the recent thread but did not find it.
 
The one that I ordered looks great. You better have woodworking skills. I had to put quite a bit of work into mine to get everything to fit.
 
There is a better way to do things. I went to www.walnutgrovegunstocks.com, which is less than an hour from my home here in SW Idaho.
Owner Chris has a couple hundred patterns, and will laminate to your specs, in a limited fashion; and will make you a 95% inletted stock if he has the pattern.
I like great walnut for hunting rifles, and have been using Chris for six or seven years now with zero issues.
 
A good friend of mine a had go around with their customer service gal that answers the phone a few months ago. Their whole business plan seems to be to make dealing with anything but internet orders as absolutely unpleasant as possible. About as fun as playing catch with a catcus.

My experience has been just the opposite. All my Boyd's stocks have been inletted perfectly and the barrel actions just drop right in. Of course I epoxy bed all my rifles and I remove some wood so that the bedding won't be too thin, but if I didn't want to bed them they would fit perfectly just as they are delivered.

I have only been around a handful of the Boyd's, but my limited experience is similar to above.
 
I bought a pepper laminate for the Ruger American and excellent isn't my wording.. Although worth the money, I had to modify it to use the magazine and the plastic trigger guard just broke when torquing.. Customer service was happy to sell me another trigger guard, but I didn't bother.. They wouldn't tell me anything regarding CrossFit or something similar I could modify to fit made out of metal.. All in all, I now have a aluminum trigger guard and after bedding and fitting on my part I have a inexpensive gun that is much better than the factory plastic thing..
