Here is my lefty Axis in .223 Remington with Boyd's furniture in Royal Jacaranda. I just dropped the trigger to 3 pounds. Next week, we go to Virginia to shoot some steel at 200-300 yards.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170325/671682991234a62f89a875064c2e0915.jpg

Very nice. Did you happen to weigh both stocks to see what the difference was? Be sure to give an update after the range.

I didn't weigh them. The Boyd's seemed slightly lighter. I did have to work on the stock with a small wood chisel because the safety wasn't able to slide back to a full locked position. I also had to add a small shim to elevate the action. Everything is tight now. I am rezeroing on Monday and then to the 200m range this weekend.

I didn't need any. The stock came with hardware for the magazine release clip to engage with. There was also a block mounted at the back of the mag well that engages with the magazine. I did get the matte black stainless steel trigger guard.
