[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1160678, member: 63138"] I bought a Savage Model 12 LPV in 300 WSM, pulled the barrel for a 270 WSM barrel (Shilen Savage prefit) and just yesterday swapped out the varmit stock for a Boyd's laminate sporter. The Model 12 dropped into the action perfectly including the DBM frame and bottom metal. The mag is positioned perfectly so it is all good. The only mods I had to make were to hog out the barrel channel for the varmit contour barrel and cut off the butt to install a Limbsaver recoil pad set to my preferred pull length. I will likely bed the recoil lug but will give it a try at the range first just to see what it does. I have another Boyds on a 7mm WSM with a 26" varmit contour Brux. It shoots 0.5 MOA with the 180 Bergers. The bottom line - Boyds provides great value compared to other alternatives and they shoot fine. [/QUOTE]
