Just Ordered a Boyd's Prairie Hunter

[mattri]

Have a 7mm-08 hunter that has been wearing a factory tupperwear stock. Always wanted a wood stock for it, not for any reason really, just wanted one. So I just ordered a Prairie Hunter, the rep says it should be here in about a week. Plan to install pillars and bed it.

Will post with pictures and a review when it arrives.

Alright! You'll like it! Just got mine yesterday to go on my 6ai.
Let the bedding begin.

Really like my Prairie Hunter. One suggestion however. Before you go to all the effort to bed and install pillars I really would shoot it first.

Joe h, how is the check piece on the prairie hunter? I'm 6'1 with a big head and need about a 1/4 to 2/3 inch to get proper check weld. Do you think it is much higher than a stock 111 110 straight comb?

Pillars together with the bedding will make torquing the action more consistent. In a hunting rifle it might not matter much but if you are punching paper it will make a difference.

Thanks for the replies. Definitely going to do the pillar bedding, will post how it goes. May need to open the channel up a bit as well as I'm using a 26" CBI light varmint contour cur down to 24".

Man, thats a nice stock!

Reckon a Fluted sporter in .243 would be a nice carry rifle for here.... Very Nice...very very nice!!
