KMW , thank you for sharing that about the thumbhole, as, Iv'e seen Boyds has quite a few different stocks, and might want to mix it up a lil, w/ diffreent models/shapes if I like the pro varmint. Please update/post us on the outcome/accuracy, when you get that spike cam finished .

DAVE , thanks again. I did call Boyds, and turned out the narrow barrel channel "B" dimension that had listed, was wrong. SO, It no longer sounds like I'll have to sand/widen the barrel channel. Also thanks for the laminate comment about being stronger than its counterparts (I didnt know).
