Boyd's Classic FOR SURE does not fit the Hog Hunter. Don't let them tell you otherwise. I'm stuck with one now because they assured me it would fit. The barrel contour is the least of your problems. The action screws don't fit and neither does the magazine. I ordered a Varmint Thumbhole which should come in Monday. I know you don't want a thumbhole but I think it's the only one that fits this particular rifle.
