Woot, I'm getting a thumbhole in Forest i think.
Just ordered a nutmeg thumb hole can't wait until it gets here! Thanks Boyd's!
Ordered mine, so glad to get rid of that cheap plastic stock!!!!!!!
I ordered mine 30 seconds after I got the email....
Got the delivery tracking number and it is on the truck for delivery TODAY.
Got the Prairie Hunter for my short action Axis today and was really impressed. However, I did encounter one problem. When you tighten the action bolts, the rear part of the action is pulled too far down into the stock and the trigger would would not cock. Finally I shimmed the flat shelf where the rear action bolt goes through with a washer and everything worked great. Really like the stock!
I just got home and opened my box and it's the Prairie model and color I wanted but, no custom engraving like I paid and the mag well is too large for my 223 Axis.
Too late in day to talk to anyone but, I did tell Boyds it was for a .223, guess they might of shipped the wrong stock.
Will have to get an RA# when they open tomorrow.
If it is a short action the magazine well should work with all short action DBM magazines. My axis is a 243 but I just put in a 223 DBM magazine and it works just fine. Maybe they sent you the wrong stock.
Sorry to hear that you received an incorrect stock - I am sending you a PM here on SS detailing my direct contact information to receive an RMA# and expedite the process quickly. I would also be happy to confirm measurements to ensure that the correct stock is being sent as the replacement!
Best Regards - Jen
Mine arrived Wednesday evening, but it was after I went to bed. Still, I got a chance to look at it before going to work. Initial impressions are good!
Mine still says awaiting shipment, whatever that means? Can't wait for it to show up and try it out!!!!!! Hope it was worth the wait, love my other Boyd's stock so I'm betting it is!!!!!
Can somebody post a closeup of the magwell on one of these stocks? I'm curious to know just how the magazine is retained.
So here is the stock I got in....
Although it isnt the exact one I ordered it looks GREAT and I figured I would share.....

So now the all important question....which of you guys is going to step up and write a proper review of the new Boyds stocks for me to post up on the website? I'd just ask Jen to send us one to review, but they're not making lefty's yet and I don't think anyone else on our staff owns an Axis.
