Boyds VIP is a fully inletted stock so all you have to do is drop in your barreled action and screw it together. You may need to do some very very very light scraping or sanding to get a perfect fit.

Of course you will need to apply what ever kind of finish you desire to the stock like tru oil or a polyurethane etc...


Like i said in the other thread of your post, Howa uses Boyds laminated stocks to they got it pretty well down to an art and a Howa should drop right in.
