I run a boyds pro varmint on my .243 11-VT and I wouldn't to hesitate to buy another one. I had to open up the barrel channel myself, as Boyds didn't offer a heavy barrel option at the time, but the mod was simple. I (surprisingly) sold my factory stock on Ebay for $75, cutting my Boyds purchase price in 1/2.

With a little work they are good stocks at a solid price point. I would add both pillars and bed the action. You will get the most out of it having this done or learning to do it yourself! Best thing about Savages is not really worrying too much about messing up because the investment is pretty low.

I like the pro varmint a lot, it's very comfortable and functional. Works well as a long range hunting stock and off the bench.

Looks nice, I'm gonna swap out the stock on a short action Rem 6/284 with a varmit wt. barrel this winter and I will check that one out.
Does the stock maker put the rear swivel stud where it interferes with the rear bag, or is that a personal choice option?

The Sling studs all come stock from the factory just like the picture above. You can take them out if you want.

Did their prices go up again? I just got one of their mass emails listing a "special buy" on plain Pro Varmints for the Axis for $129. I don't remember the original price being $153 though.

Does anyone know if the Pro Varmint comes in that camo wood color? Love that hint of green in there...with a taste of undertone....It's not a Cigar P.S.

Their colored hardwood is really pretty. My first Boyds stocks were a Pepper laminate and a Nutmeg laminate, but after getting my hands on a Royal Jarcanda, Coyote, and Forest Camo laminates, I wish I started getting the nicer patterns sooner!

Here's my 12FV fitted with a 28" Bartlein barrel and bedded to a Pro Varmint stock. I use if for F-Open competition so I added a Delrin sled to the forearm to match my front rest and a Delrin wedge to the foot of the stock to change the angle so that it matches my rear bag.

I filled the magazine well and forearm void with lead shot to increase the weight. I like this stock a LOT more than my McMillan which costs 5 times as much.

The laminate is "Coyote" and since I like to name my rifles, I need to decide between "Wyle" or "Wile E". Should I use just the first name, or the first name and middle initial?

Mozella,

Where do I get one of those Derlin Wedge rear bag riders? That's exactly what I've been looking for to put on mine.... I also have the Coyote PV nice choice!! And my vote is "Wyle"...
