I wanted another stock for the 112 bbl 7 mag (the Choate it currently resides in is just not practical for me), so I ordered a Boyd's Pro Varmint, which was formerly called the Tacticool, in the black, textured finish. After ordering the stock I ran across a Thread from the latter part of '14 about the aforementioned stock being soft, and cracking, and generally being, well, I think you get it. I'm afraid the 7's recoil is gonna spell "S-P-L-I-T" after I pillar, glass bed and start shooting the thing. Has anyone put a "heavy" recoiler in a Pro Varmint? Was it lately, and did it crack?
I'm going to start a 6.5 Creed build in a couple of months, and what with the woeful choice in OEM stocks for the Savage, I am considering (GASP) going another route.
Man, I hate even thunkin' that!
