112 with light varmit/heavy sporter barrel, stock options

[Mark in Mo]

Hey guys I have a 112 FV that I will be putting a Apache barrel (260) cant remember what profile I ordered, but it is 24 inches long and is .725 at the muzzle
I was going to go with a Boyds Prairie hunter but unfortunately they don't answer the phone or return phone calls.....So my next option is the Bell Carlson medalist sporter. Has anyone managed to open the barrel channel for a light varmint weight barrel?
I appreciate any help

A little elbow grease with a deep socket and sandpaper will open up the barrel channel. I'm somewhat impatient so used a drill bit extension and sanding drums in my cordless drill.

Hey if you dont mind what was the profile of the barrel you used?

It is super easy to open up a Boyd's stock with a wood dowel and sandpaper. Doesn't take very long at all.

Mark here's some pics of a B&C Medalist I opened up for a factory varmint profile barrel.

There's plenty of stock left over on both sides after sanding. The Medalist are excellent stocks

Hey if you dont mind what was the profile of the barrel you used? It's a heavy varmint weight, something like .825" at the muzzle, maybe more. I can't measure it right now, don't have access to the rifle.

Thanks guys! I ordered it, should be in my hands Wed this week :)
Funny thing was Boyds finally called me back 3 days later....I think I will be happy with the medalist!
