First off, the 12FV is a centerfeed....that is the rounds are fed to a common center channel in the magazine and are always pulled out from the same point.
As for stocks... I have 2 12's and 3 Axis rifles. My favorite, as well as the most expensive, is a Bell and Carlson Varmint. I have a few Boyd's in both laminated and hardwood. They are a great budget option. And then I have some random laminated stock that I got on deep discount from Stocky's that is not a Boyd's, but pretty much looks like one. It required some minor inletting to clear the trigger action. Every one of them shoots MOA or better on factory ammo. I think the most important things you can do are to pillar them and bed the front lug.
One last thing with the Boyd's...the default pad is a thin piece of shoe rubber. While it would be fine for a .22-250, if you ever think you might get another 12FV with some more oomph, do yourself a favor and get one of soft 1" pads. It's pretty cheap to have them do it at the factory.
