This is not a good picture but it is their thumbhole varmint, I think the color is forest camo or something like that.

Does boyd ship new action screws to match the stock?
Mine were a different length and im having issues finding the correct length
I did not find any hardware in mine but the local ace hardware store has a good collection. The regular home improvement stores have the s screws with the big Allen head if you dont mind those. Sometimes you will just have to cut it as the size you might need is not normally manufactured.
Ok thanks Bill
Its just kind of reminds me of the style of the tacticool. Which I kind want, but they wont ship them up here to canada.
I love those classics!
I have been keen to do a "Custom Classic" something that uses the Classic Stock with a Tapered Fluted Sporter Barrel and Ceracoted Flat Black... Mm... Kinda old, kinda new....
Here is my Rimfire MKII That I had a Heap of work done on, It was a standard MKII SS but wear the Rimfire Hunter Stock in Forest Camo
do they make a stock for the axis???

A small snippet from that article,
The ProHunter stock for Axis rifles is billed as a universal design that can be used for both hunting and punching paper from the bench. The vented 2-1/4” wide low profile beavertail forearm provides a stable platform when shooting from a rest, yet will still fit most hands for offhand hunting and shooting. The grip is more vertical than the factory version for more comfort and the toe angle is significantly decreased for more stability when using a rear sand bag.
Its a Laminate... looks a nice stock...
I would pay just to read about that Axis project as it seems to be right up your alley... A great read and very informative.

At this time there are no commercial replacement for the axis stocks. If you do a search in the forum you will see the current options for the axis stocks are:
Reinforce the tupperware stock
or
Get a stock with some general dimensions close to the axis and do your own inletting.
Right now we have 2 threads for aftermarket stocks that have been proven to work on the axis with some wood work and aftermarket parts. One is a choate stock the other one is a BSA CF-2 stock. There is also a thread and I believe also a tutorial on reinforcing the tupperware stock.
Good luck.

damit i like the boyds stock
they are nice and I am planing to try to inlet one for my 4th gun which will be an axis. I will post it here once I am done but it will be fall before I get the axis...
Has anybody inletted there boyds for a DBM?
Boyd's offers many stocks with the DBM/HFP inletting.
There are also a few different Savage gunsmiths who offer the service.
I sprang for all the options on my 111.
Boyd's Classic in Forest Camo
Ebony forend tip and grip cap
Laser stippling in pattern #1
Decelerator Recoil Pad (shooting 208 AMAX's)
Almost too pretty to take hunting :-)

Exactly what I was thinking of doing for my 116 but I was thinking of different color stock and checkering option. Glad you posted this so I could get a good look. I am a big Boyd's fan; I have a few now and have never been dissatisfied with anything I have bought from them. And by the way, yours looks VERY nice! I do however wish that they would offer the classic style stock in the JRS pattern again. I like the fluted forearm on the new design but I'm an old style guy and like it better without the flutes. My .35 Whelen wears the JRS and it just looks more "classic".

Oh you naughty man... that is too nice...
Boyd's with DBM inlet by me with a dremel tool.
Wow. thats pretty awesome. How long did it take?

Full pic of rifle. 243 cbi 26" heavy mag barrel on a Stevens centerfeed.
Rangewolf, a dremel and a mill bit. Probably a couple of hours to whittle all the wood away. Worth it to have a DBM thumb hole.
I forgot about this one. http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet...vage-10/Detail For the price this stock already inlet would be hard to beat. Unless, you can get a deal on used thumbhole.
Boyds classic stock on my early (F0005XX) F series 110. It's .308 LA with a Leupold VXII 3-9 X40 scope on it. The stock is nutmeg laminate with Pachmayr recoil pad, black grip cap, checkering, lazar engraved initials by the bolt handle. Factory trigger with modified tension screw. 2 1/2 lbs and solid as a rock. I LOVE this rifle!!

First is my cousin's, a Prairie Hunter in Nutmeg with laser engraving holding a 110 action in 224TTH with a Douglas bbl.
Next is my Classic in pepper holding a 110 action in 224TTH and a 24" Douglas bbl. I shot that buck at 615 yds on the first shot.
I bedded both and free float the barrels.
ok, heres my lastest build for deer hunting. I find myself walking a lot during rifle season. several miles a day, sometimes in 6-12" of snow, uphill, big hills too darn it, lol. j/k
anyway, picked up a model 16 6.5 creedmoor and a boyds classic with the checkering, caps, and bedded it with araglass gel.
I've got a set of luepold med rings on it now but I'm going to try a set of lows and see if they will work better.
so far I like it
