    I just put a 110 243 barrel on my 308. Best cheap upgrade I've ever done. It shoots a quarter @100.

    hmmm.....boyd's said they build the stock i need by the order and that would be 4 weeks.

    I got this stock below before any of the rebarreling ideas, had it for a while but I am changing the barrel to a Criterion bull match barrel.


    Would the stock be ok it i open it up to 1.100" for the barrel? or what? lol, with axis the options are limited with the recoil lug built into the stock.

    The Classic and a few others would not do well with a bull barrel. It's not impossible, but the forend is not shaped for wider barrels. You will likely end up with very thin (or no) rails of wood on either side of the channel. The Platinum has the same profile as the Classic, but it has an oval forend, which is better suited to opening up for a varmint or bull profile.

    Ah ha! Found it: http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/how-to...nel-variations
