Rifle stocks are seemingly simple things. They are the things you bolt all the actual gun parts to, which keeps you from holding all the actual rifle parts themselves.

I have re-stocked my 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger American Predator (American W/heavier barrel) with a Boyd's Classic laminated stock. A moderate cheekpiece combines with the maximum height comb and makes for a better cheek weld for scope use.

With optional fish scale checkering this stock gives the R.A.P. a much more quality feel than the factory plastic stock. And a Timney trigger tops off that feel and improves accuracy.

Now I may buy a "chassis" type stock for my Remington-actioned HS Precision .300 Win mag target rifle so I can use better magazines and have maximum stock adjustability. The options are many and shopping for the chassis is fun.

And for my old .308 Savage 99 I need a new stock to replace the cracked factory stock. Once again Boyds has the answer and at a very reasonable price.

This seems to be "The Golden Age of Aftermarket Stocks".
