I have a 110 centerfeed with a varmint contour barrel.
So now I'm thinking about getting the boyds pro varmint stock now that you can order it in colored laminate off their website. So what I'm wanting opinions on is, for a top bolt release 110, they offer centerfeed only in sporter contour barrels. But they offer staggered feed in both sporter and bull contours. So do I buy a centerfeed stock and enlarge the barrel channel or a staggered feed stock and find a way to mount the magazine in it?
Enlarging the barrel channel is fairly easy,
so I would suggest going that route.
Yeah. I've done that before. Just didn't know which would be the easiest.
I'm in the exact same spot you are and I'm hoping that phone call when I order will solve the problem since it says that they are made to order anyway. I'm planning on calling anyway because that coyote laminate one the rifle in the 338edge build thread is badass but its not listed in there colors. But if they wont make it center feed with a bull barrel channel I will be enlarging the barrel channel myself with a dowel and some sand paper
Charb52, I just checked and they still offer the Coyote Laminate like I did for my .338 Edge. It's not in the color gallery for what ever reason, but it you do all the selections it will take you to the price page. Then click on "custom and laser options" and the Coyote laminate is the very last color choice.Originally Posted by charb52
How did you pick which color to go with? When I look online they look nothing like what other people have posted on the internet.
Barrelburner explains it in his post above
I see how to order the colors. I'm just torn on which color to get. When I see actual photos of the colors they look nothing like the samples on boyds website. And it seems like no 2 stocks are the same even being the same color. Is it just a crap shoot on getting a color I'll like?
I called boyds today. They said what's on the website is what they offer. So no centerfeed with a bull barrel channel. So I guess I'm going to have to do it by hand when I ever get one.
thanks for letting me know
I'm building a 111 round back, and went with the centerfeed stock as well. Just going to enlarge the barrel channel. I had to do that on my last Axis build anyway, so it's not a big deal. Especially when you have a buddy with a mill. lol
I had a really hard time picking a color too. I have two black tacticools already. Wanted this one to be a little flashier. Decided on Applejack. Should be bright. lol
Provided you have enough width in the forearm edges to work with, widening the barrel channel is really not that difficult. All it takes is some 80 grit sandpaper, the appropriate sized wooden dowel, and a lot of elbow grease. Top it off with the wood finish of your choice.
Surely the pro varmint has enough meat on the edges. The forearm flares out from around the barrel nut to the end.
Here is my pepper laminate classic with added end caps and checkering.
Love it
Nice. Looks just like my rem 700 300 rum, but with the added end cap. Same scope and everything.Here is my pepper laminate classic with added end caps and checkering.

Pretty sure its the same
Got my Boyd's stock in today. Stoked is the word. Fits nice, looks great, free floated all the way to the chamber.

You know what I like best about people? Their dogs.
nice, I bought a few plain ones, its worth the extra cash to get the checkering and endcaps in my book.
I love it. Looks like the classy hunting guns I used to lust after as a young one. I can't wait to test fire it... but I'm kinda scared to get a scratch on it now.

My wife did get me the pro varmint, centerfeed stock for Christmas. It's camo color as you can tell from the picture. It looks great. Now if I could just find the time to open up the barrel channel and bed it, I'd be in business.
Try this tool!!
I bought one of these, and it makes short work of free floating a barrel. The laminate stocks took a bit longer as the wood is a lot harder, or so it seemed. I open my barrel channel up so there is plenty of room for air flow all around the barrel, right back to the front of the recoil lug.
This was money well spent.
