Sorry for the amount of question I am going to ask, but I really hope you all can help. I just bought my first bolt action and its a savage axis XP in 6.5 creedmoor. I have not had a chance to run it to the range yet. Are the factory stocks bad? I have read conflicting reports on them. Are the Boyd's stocks worth it? also on the boyd's if anyone has a thumbhole stock, is it possible to shoot with a normal grip vs. a thumbhole grip? Just looking for flexibility in shooting. I already have a trigger kit coming for it, so that's taken care of. I don't know much about bolt action as all of my rifles have been semi-auto, but as I get older bolt action seems more appealing to me.

Thank you all.
