Pendleton custom stocks should be able to help you www.oregunsmithingllc.com , good selection , colors, styles, all are made to customer specs. These are not a drop in stock like others are building.
LOL so you bash Boyd's and say they suc because YOU ordered a laminate stock and somehow YOU thought it would be as light as a plastic stock? Most buy a laminate stock to gain weight and rigidity . 18 in barrels are normally fairly stiff. They should shot well, magnums in a 600 usually kick like a mule, and a heavier stock helps in the recoil department. Good luck with your search for someone to build you a custom stock, they are out there.
Not gonna happen.I'd really like something with a big aluminum block
Mines not really an accuracy issue other than that back factory aluminum pillar doesn't reach the Thang my steel ***** about 1/ quarter to a half inch at 100 yards it's just so stinking heavy and I'm not really a fan of a Woodstock for a hunting rifle even if it is laminated that glue is heavy.My Boyd's stock had been a major disappointment. It cannot handle recoil of a 270 Win. Shoots great for about 20 rounds then starts to spread the groups. Each re-bed works for a while, then falls apart. It will be on its 4th bedding/pillars, but I think it's delaminated internally near the lug mortise. Next try will be a walnut blank and a campfire for this stock.
If you need too lighten a Boyd's laminate you can bore holes in the but stock and route the barrel channel as far as a laminate stock becoming I laminated I guess any thing is possible I have some of the finest custom builds with English and Black walnut money can buy also AG composites and 1 Boyd's the Boyd's is as tough and rigid more so than any of my other wood stocks unless your willing too pay a thousand dollars plus you might rethink the Boyd's glassed and pillared
You can lighten it up by boring big holes in the butt stock but leaving enough wood for tha pad then route the barrel channel then re enstall pillars that fit or just bed the whole action top and bottom glass bedding has been around and used on a lot of accurate rifles before pillars bedding blocks and composite stocks where even thought of get rid of the wood in the bedding area and replace it with a good bedding compound and will probably outlast a lifetime and will be a perfect fit good luckMines not really an accuracy issue other than that back factory aluminum pillar doesn't reach the Thang my steel ***** about 1/ quarter to a half inch at 100 yards it's just so stinking heavy and I'm not really a fan of a Woodstock for a hunting rifle even if it is laminated that glue is heavy.
There's a lot of expansion in aluminium . Best result would be a solid carbon block built in during construction. It's lighter and more stable. I have done a lot like that having made carbon stocks since the 1970'sI'd really like something with a big aluminum block
