Laminate replacement for AXIS - BOYDS

[NVBighorn]

How does the weight of the featherweight compare to the factory Tupperware?

[steveNChunter]

Not sure about the featherweight but my Prairie Hunter feels considerably heavier than the factory stock. I consider that a plus but someone trying to shed weight probably won't accomplish it by switching from a plastic stock to any style laminate wood stock. Maybe someone with one of the featherweight stocks will chime in and give you a better answer.

Just checked sight and all have been shipped! Yeah! I just ordered 12-19-13,they must be catching up!

My stocks are sitting 15 miles away at UPS,will be here Monday,also told my GF I ordered 3 stocks not just 1,went over like a lead balloon !

Ordered a thumbhole in pepper for .223,a prairie in applejack for .308 and a thumbhole for .17HMR! Wish I could but a breathalyzer on my pay now button! LOL. And Im pretty sure Im getting a B-Mag for Christmas so if Boyds is watching this I want a new stock for it!
All 3 showed up today! Installed pepper thumbhole on Edge .223,Applejack on axis .308,thumbhole on .17HMR gonna wait till I camo or do hydro graphics on it.All I can say is I am totally impressed with these stocks.I am so happy with fit,finish and ease of install.Totally changed looks and feel of rifles.Perfect..

Cannot find usb cord for camera,so put a short video on youtube,search savage axis boyds stocks by rsh4364 Really doesn't do the colors justice though.

Those thumbhole stocks look sweet ! :cool: Here in NY state, I think a combination of detachable magazine and thumbhole stock might be in violation of the new assault rifle ban crap ? I'll definitely have to look into that when I get around to order a stock .:sorrow:

[rsh4364]

Thankyou,to be honest after restocking the edge.223 and axis.308 in the boyds I just look at them and hope for decent weather so I can shoot.I don't even look at my new B-Mag .17swm.sitting in the corner.(at least til someone makes a decent stock for it)

Is there enough meat in the forend to possibly open up the barrel channel to accept a varmint or bull profiled barrel in these?

I opened up my Prairie Hunter for a varmint profile barrel, and there was plenty to work with. Don't know about the other stocks.

Getting ready to order a a Boyds Stock for my .308 axis , now is there anything else i should know when i order this from Boyds besides it being a short action and having a removable box magazine ?? . I really like the Prairie hunter design with the molded in cheek rest but also do like the classic design . Also when looking on the Boyds Website almost every design /model for the Axis shows out of stock ,is this normal or ???? and it's about a 4 week turn around to get the gunstock right ??


if anyone can give me some info i would appreciate it as i don't want to order the wrong Gun stock LOL!!!

[steveNChunter]

Yes, your .308 Axis is a short-action, and all Axis rifles have a removable/detachable magazine. I assume your Axis is right handed, since the stocks only come right handed. I prefer the Prairie Hunter style because the raised check peice area on the stock gives me better eye alignment with a scope. Just my personal preference. Also make sure to check out the custom options.

just ordered the prairie hunter design in forest camo for my .308 now i've got to wait the long 4 weeks for it to show up so i can install it
