No sir, I dont believe so. I think they are strictly thumbhole now.

i called boyds about 2 maybe 3 years ago looking for a lefty savage stock.
i was told they made (no) lefty stocks at all.
stockys told me they only made a few for rems. no savage.
apperently thats changed?

[Nandy]

This is not a good picture but it is their thumbhole varmint, I think the color is forest camo or something like that.

Does boyd ship new action screws to match the stock?
Mine were a different length and im having issues finding the correct length

[Nandy]

I did not find any hardware in mine but the local ace hardware store has a good collection. The regular home improvement stores have the s screws with the big Allen head if you dont mind those. Sometimes you will just have to cut it as the size you might need is not normally manufactured.

Ok thanks Bill

Its just kind of reminds me of the style of the tacticool. Which I kind want, but they wont ship them up here to canada.

do they make a stock for the axis???

[Nandy]

At this time there are no commercial replacement for the axis stocks. If you do a search in the forum you will see the current options for the axis stocks are:

Reinforce the tupperware stock
or
Get a stock with some general dimensions close to the axis and do your own inletting.

Right now we have 2 threads for aftermarket stocks that have been proven to work on the axis with some wood work and aftermarket parts. One is a choate stock the other one is a BSA CF-2 stock. There is also a thread and I believe also a tutorial on reinforcing the tupperware stock.

Good luck.

[Nandy]

Mate, are you a paid member?

This is from the Article section and you need to be a paid member to view them..

A small snippet from that article,

The ProHunter stock for Axis rifles is billed as a universal design that can be used for both hunting and punching paper from the bench. The vented 2-1/4” wide low profile beavertail forearm provides a stable platform when shooting from a rest, yet will still fit most hands for offhand hunting and shooting. The grip is more vertical than the factory version for more comfort and the toe angle is significantly decreased for more stability when using a rear sand bag.


Its a Laminate... looks a nice stock...
I would pay just to read about that Axis project as it seems to be right up your alley... A great read and very informative.

Has anybody inletted there boyds for a DBM?

Boyd's offers many stocks with the DBM/HFP inletting.

There are also a few different Savage gunsmiths who offer the service.

I sprang for all the options on my 111.

Boyd's Classic in Forest Camo
Ebony forend tip and grip cap
Laser stippling in pattern #1
Decelerator Recoil Pad (shooting 208 AMAX's)

Almost too pretty to take hunting :-)
