Good Day - not sure if you have visited with anyone from Boyds' over the phone yet - but based on your measurements here we would ask that you return your stock immediately and we will replace it ASAP, I seen in a later post that you were able to drop it in and had to do some minor re-torquing, you should not have to do anything to it! You can reach me at 605-996-5011 ext. 209 if you have any questions or refer to the bottom of the email you received stating how to return your Axis stock. Again, very very sorry for any and all inconveniences this is causing you and all others that received stocks from our initial shipment! Best Regards - Jen
I have to say that Boyds is showing incredible customer service! Some of our Canadian companies should take note...
Jen,
No worries here. Spoke (via e-mails) with Sheila and all is good. I e-mailed her this morning to let her know it fit like a glove and all functions worked just fine. The re torquing I speak of was to get the action/barrel "centered" in the stock/for end. It was ever so slightly skewed to the right (end of barrel at end.tip of for end) that I wanted a bit more clearance. The profile of the stock to the stock barrel is tight (which is a good thing as to appearance and fit) but didn't want contact. So, loosening the action screws and taking another run at it got the fitment better and now the barrel is clear from the nut to the end in the stock. I made no mods to your stock other than to put it on....lol, and it fit perfect. The operation of all components, bolt, trigger, safety & mag box are all perfect! By the way, the OE mag fits your stock better than the factory stock!!! Good job!
Thanks for your help and support here and let it be said, you have a customer and word of mouth advertiser for life!
More than a few American companies should take note also.Quote:

I would like to personally thank the good folks at Boyd's for investing considerable time and effort into R+D and production engineering of the new Axis/Edge wooden stocks. Also, thanks to the many forum participants whom took note of my post from months ago, requesting that we formally express our interest in Axis stocks to Boyd's. There were quite a few naysayers whom said "it wouldn't matter" and "why bother even trying," despite common sense dictates to the contrary. Boyd's would never issue a new stock application unless a market was there, and in our case - we were successful in convincing them we ARE interested in upgrading our rifles. We spoke, and Boyd's listened.
Please be extra patient as they work out any minor bugs in these early production runs. We are very fortunate to finally have these stocks available, and I for one...am very appreciative.
Just returned from extended travel away from my computer, and was so pleased to learn of the new stocks. My own walnut stock for the 22-250 shall be ordered ASAP...
Cheers, all...

As soon as the Prairie Hunter stocks get back in stock I'm ordering one.
Boyd's (Jen) - please note that I would love to purchase a left-hand Prairie Hunter stock when you have them available!
Please order now - do not wait until it says "In Stock" - we are constantly making these and if it says "out of stock" when you order wait time is still only 7 - 14 days. They are flyin off the shelf and you may not see an "In Stock" status for a while...please do not let this keep you from ordering.
yeah, glad you made the post and Boyds went for it. I followed your suggestion and then when the stock was announced felt obligated to purchase one. So placed my order for a thumbhole in Apple red the 10th.
Only suggestion I would have for Boyd's is to make the status on customs say "being made" instead of "awaiting shipment". The latter makes it sound like it is made and sitting there for a week plus until the shipping folks get to it.
Going hunting in a week, hope it's here by then so I can see how it works in the field.
