I have recent experience with a Boyd's stock. I recently re-built an old, mis-matching Yugoslav M48 military "Mauser" into a sporter, using the original barreled action...and a Boyd's JRS laminate stock. The inletting was nearly perfect (a virtual drop-in) - only requiring a wee bit of wood removal in the barrel channel, to clear the rear sight sleeve on the barrel... and just a bit at the tang area, for clearance of the bolt shroud. If I had not retained the iron sights on this rifle, absolutely NO inletting work (other than the tang area) would have been needed. The surface of the stock was sanded to 100 grit...just as stated on Boyd's website, with no defects. Altogether, it was easy to finish the stock project. I would recommend the Boyd's stock as a quality product.
