i sent Boyds an email on July 10th and had a reply on July 11th(same month, same year) about offering upgraded recoil pads and an varmint channel "classic". they responded that both these suggestions may be coming this year! i hope so, i prefer the classic over the thumbhole but the thumbhole stock works for the price. so far i have two of their stocks and need a third, but think i'll wait awhile and see if they come out with the "classic varminter" that i want.
anyway, i like Boyds and think they offer an quality product for the price for guys on a limited budget like myself!
