I just now got off the phone with a customer service rep from Boyds: They are packing up to go to the Shot Show, so nothing much will happen until after they get back from Las Vegas.
Right now they are not making the Tacticool in the long action with a bull barrel channel, only the factory barrel channel.
Short action stocks, however, can be had with the bull barrel channel.
The Tacticool stocks also do not have the reinforcing pins that most of the other Boyds' Laminate stocks have.
I mentioned Savage Shooters forum and the customer service rep got excited and said that they really like us there.
