[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1857752, member: 87243"] You must be lucky, I have personally seen 6 that were cracked, many more on social media, but take that one for what it is worth.....not all were boyds, 3 were factory ruger rifles, and two of them the action had never been removed from the stock, 1 of which was a walnut stock. My friends wanted them bedded because they were not shooting well. Took them out, and the stock was cracked. One cost me an elk, thankfully I didn't wound it but instead totally missed. To quote from my post - "They were in the following calibers - 30-06, my personal rifle with around 75 rounds fired, a 7mm-08 (solid walnut stock), and 6.5 Creedmoor with around 150 rounds fired. Notice that these are not necessarily heavy recoiling rounds.....Another was a Savage 11 chambered in .308 with a Boyds replacement stock, the Boyds had roughly 50 rounds through it, another was a Remington 700 with the factory laminated stock chambered in .308, and the last one was a Remington 700 chambered in 7mm rem mag with a Stocky's laminated stock." I'm glad you have not had any issues, I am not so lucky. Not sure what you do differently.....I still will use boyds stocks, I have no issue with them, I just pillar bed every one of them now. I will still stand by my statements however.... [/QUOTE]
