I replaced my Axis 7mm-08 with the Boyds PH just a few days ago. Have not been to the range yet even. I did run into a significant problem; the length of the rear trigger screw supplied was too long. When screwed in it actually hit the trigger spring screw from the underside. This created just enough pressure to raise the thumb safety just a fraction, and downward pressure in the safety would trigger the firing pin... not sure if this is the correct term, but bottom line is the weapon had the potential to fire accidentally from pressure on the safety alone.

My have been the wrong size screw was supplied, may have been the trigger guard was machined too deep.. May have been the aftermarkets screw that came with the Mcarbro spring i had installed was a fraction too large.

Shortening the trigger guard screw fixed the problem, but definitely something you want to watch for. On other thing - the Boyds stock is significantly heavier. In my view it changes the handling of the weapon from a Mountain Rifle to more of a standard 9 pound rifle, something to consider of you are doing a lot of hiking.
