I'm looking to make a few tweeks to improve the looks and fit of my Axis 7mm/08 as a hunting rifle. One change is wanting to have a "wood" stock on the rifle. I'm ok with the overall dimensions of the factory plastic camo stock, just not the material. I grew up around sporter style wood stocks, and still prefer them on a hunting rifle. Might even get wild and go with a nutmeg laminate stock.

Rifle is for mostly Texas deer and any hog that appears. I have no interest in the varmint style stock for this rifle.

Can any one give me the cross dimensional measurement for the Prairie Hunter on the fore end? I don't like excessively wide fore ends on hunting rifles. I've looked at Boyd's and I've not been able to find this information. I was not able to get their customer help/sales response to answer the question either.

I'd also be interested if someone could also tell me how much comb height I would gain over the standard stock supplied plastic thing the rifle came with.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Robert
