Good to hear. I placed an order the other day for a pro varmint in forest camo and 1" decelerator so hopefully it won't be much longer but I was expecting 4-6 weeks so any earlier is cool with me.

Awesome! For a while there, they were backed up for months... Sounds like they may have caught back up after their move.

You will have to get it for sporter barrel and open up the barrel channel yourself. Not a big deal, a little bit of elbow grease, sandpaper and a wood dowel or deep socket.

The ones I linked are all listed as bull barrels.

Boyd's stocks for Model 11's with detachable mag are usually only avail for sporter barrel. Not hard to modify.

There are quite a few bull barrel stocks for the model 11's with blind mag

I just ordered a stock with blind magazine and put a wooden block in it as I single load.

I also finagled a Top Release to work with it though bending them is iffy.

They call it a bull channel but the Varmint contour is tight though not touching (and I did order a bull and labeled as such)

As noted, a bit of elbow grease and hyoid can open up just fine.

Mine was ordered in November and only took a week. Impressive time as well as top notch fit on the receiver.

Got it shooting 3/8 hole with not a lot of load development (5 shots) . Several close but no cigars with a flyer I knew I had thrown in. 1/2 4 shot groups.


Not bad when a flyer still under 7/8 MOA

so I thought I would update everyone on this. When i received my stock, the colors were all off. the red was basically pink. I set it beside my wife's savage that has a boyds on it and the colors were completely different. I was not happy so I called customer service and they sent me a return label. They told me that you get one more shot at it basically. You can't change color etc. So I sent it back a couple days later...figure january 15 or a bit earlier. I heard nothing...days became weeks. I finally emailed them a couple days ago and I was told that my "re-do" order was put in Feb 16. Really???? I know it takes a few days to get it there but wow. Anyway, we shall see what comes back. Customer service did a good job but they should give an update or two.

got my stock. it's a bit better but still not what my wife's looks like or in pictures. natural light makes it look more true though. I am glad to finally finish my build.

Color on the laminate's is always subject to vary a bit as each layer of wood can absorb the dye differently due to differences in density.
