Laminate replacement for AXIS - BOYDS

[fsr402]

I believe those plugs cover reinforcing screws.

reinforcing what? Seems like opp spots for that. Don't recall seeing them on other stocks.

[J.Baker]

They're called cross bolts and essentially reinforce the stock directly behind the action screws. Helps distribute the recoil energy over a larger area of the stock which helps to prevent the stock from cracking.

They're even standard fair on the Savage Classic Series rifles

Well I got my stock and fitted the action.............. When I torque it down the safety stops working and the bolt won't close down all the way. Bugger!
I've sent Jen an email but haven't heard back yet.....

Jen, please when you can, get back to me!



Cheers

Jasta, sorry to hear of the trouble you are having with your stock... bummer.

Is the weight that you listed above for the Classic or the Prarie Hunter stock? What is the weight of your rifle with the stock on it? Thanks and hope all works out with your stock.

[jasta]

Thanks m8

Its the Prairie Hunter stock, I only did the stocks without action so if you weigh your action that should get a idea.

At the moment I'm on notice to vacate my house due to the bushfires that we are having here in Australia, so I'm somewhat on edge.. All my firearms are safe at a mates place so I'm lucky there. Would be nice if Jen gets back to me as fast as she has for others.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, Jas. I don't own an Axis yet which is why I am asking about the weight.

Good fortune to you with the fires - may they skip your place altogether. I also live in wildfire country and have been on notice like yourself a few times - no fun..

[jasta]

Thanks for your kind words...

According to Savage the Stainless rifle is 6.5lbs so if we do the math here and going on my weights from before its about 8.5lbs with the Boyds stock.

I'm a metric kid so if I stuffed this up ..... I'm sorry.

Cheers

Jas,

Sorry for the delay in response - you will be receiving an email shortly outlining what will need to be done, unfortunately you did receive one of our prototypes. I will also send you a PM here on SS detailing the next steps. Again, my apologies for the delay in response and we look forward to clearing this up quickly.

Best Regards,

Jen

Unfortunately, we do not offer youth stocks at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our standard pull I is 13.75". Depending on which model you order, the butt can be shortened by either you or a gunsmith. We do not modify our stocks prior to shipping. Please let me know if we can be of further assistance!

Thanks, Jas.

Wow 8.5 lbs.. with a scope and rings and sling that would make the rig right at 10lbs - like the Ruger M77 I am selling because of .... it's heavy weight.

Boyds, is there any chance of developing a slimmer, lighter weight stock for those of us who want a wood stock but also want a rifle light enough to carry far afield on the hunt?

Not a lot of places you can cut/save weight on a Savage Axis or 110. One just has to face it...they're a bit hefty and you just have to live with it. You can save a few ounces here and there on individual components (plastic trigger guard, aluminum bases and rings, lightweight scope, etc.) but they are what they are. Just look at all the metal that Savage had to machine off the bolt and receiver of the Model 11/111 Lightweight Hunter, and then they still had to usea bunch of plastic bits to get it down to 5.5 pounds naked.

Finally ordered my stock on the 16th (hated having to wait like that). Unfortunately for me, the site even said there would be delays. Still no word on when my stock will be shipping, but I can't wait to get my hands on it. For the Boyds rep on this site, order number 33822 ;)

Hopefully I'll be getting mine soon... looks like I may finally be moving in the next week or 2.

Sent my prototype stock back as requested by Boyds. They said they would overnight a replacement. Sent the stock back Monday and no replacement stock yet.

Ordered mine on the 11th and still waiting for it to ship ): We must have wiped them out!

Arrived and fits perfectly. Very happy with the stock. The butt pad is a little disappointing, in fact it's worse than the one savage put on the stock stock. The rest of it I am VERY happy. The fit was perfect, no adjustment of any sort needed, literally plug and play.

It looks much better in person than the pictures, the red is RED the black more black

Looks very nice, just recieved my shipping notification a few minutes ago!! Mines on its way WOO HOO!! (: Now to save up for some really good glass in the near future..

[fsr402]

How is the reach to the trigger? I don't have mine put together but just holding it I think it may be a bit long for me. I don't have small hands but they are not large either.

[cerich]

no problem for me.

[cerich]

I just got a follow up call from Boyd's to see if I was happy with the stock. AWESOME customer service!

[fsr402]

I just got the same call. Could not tell them much since it will be a month before I can swap the stocks.
