[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1714828, member: 24284"] Boyds is mostly laminates, and their walnut stocks really are much in the figure dept. But, they are drop-in and need to be bedded. You can buy them finished or unfinished. Most pre-inletted stocks need a bit more inletting then most are willing to do. All will require some shaping and alot of sanding before sealer and finish is applied. You will need to install a butt plate or recoil pad, too. Pre-inlets that come with a recoil pad glued on are a real pain. When sanding, you have to be very careful not to drag recoil pad rubber on to and into the wood. I cut them off and install a template to do the sanding. So, much depends upon how much work you are willing to do, and can do. [/QUOTE]
