Hey, thanks for your help.
I called Boyds, they stated the same thing.
The guy I talked to, said the gap would be really noticable.
He even said it would be ugly. LOL!
Not sure what I will do. I'm not really concerned that much about appearances. Seems there are lots of mixed reviews about thumbhole stocks on a hunting rifle. Some folks like them, some don't.
Thanks again for your help!
