Boyd's Varmint thumbhole laminte

[mikeinct]

I saw this hot looking stock in the midway catalog at 199.00 then I found what I'm sure is the same stock on Boyd's site..at only 84 bucks can anyone explain the diff?? in price both fit a savage SA blind mag. & are 99 % inletted...I'd like one thumbhole rifle stock [not sure why] Seems pretty cool looking ..Anyone care to advise ?? Maybe someone has one they are bored with..I picked up a used short action savage 22-250 "sporter" it needs everything trigger, stock & new barrel ..Mike in Ct...ps I ordered a new 243 win varmint taper barrel for this project..

Dad has his .22-250 Rem 700 varminter in one of those Boyds thumbhole stocks. He loves it! Very accurate, easy to shoot and it looks cool too. I don't know why the price difference...

I hear ya dave & will do...I read in one of your posts an SSS barrel shoots one hole groups ..Is that savage shooters supply ?? a douglas barrel they chamber & thread to fit your gun..I called them for a 243 winchester & I'm getting a no turn neck .277 reamer diameter..I wanted it to match my 6mmbr .270 neck but he dont cut tight necks...Can u tell me more about the load u use the seating lenght, brass etc. ...Do u sort the 75gr v-max bullets to get those great groups..???..I can't get mine going well with the 75gr it likes the 87gr..mike in ct

I like my 6br gun well enough but I'm itching to really see em bust with that full power 243 cartridge..If the accuracy is there I'll really be happy..I'm going to make certain it is easy to see the hits with a mercury recoil reducer fitted into the butt stock & a muzzle brake on the barrel...kind of like suspenders & a belt...grin grin...mike in ct
