The OEM Mattel stocks are silly-puddy if you shoot from field positions.
(Which I do, and use a TechSights Aperture sight as well.)

Here is the stock I bought. I kept it as simple as possible with the finish and buttplate:

Drop in installation took me 15 minutes, most of the time was spent sanding the channel.
Stay safe.

That sounds familiar...and that was one of the stocks I ordered. Sort of. There was a Ruger American Target version that looks about the same as the OP. I took a shout since it was about $100 even. Looks like there will be about a .1" gap on either side of the barrel at the narrowest point. Hopefully the action is exactly the same....

They are not exceedingly heavy, I put a spike camp on a ruger American myself and it was not any more noticeably heavy at all.

The website says this stock added about 9 ounces to the weight of the rifle over the factory stock. If you’re looking for a larger stock it may be a bit more.
This style of stock has a bit of a flat on the forearm which makes for a decent rest on bags, plus it has two sling swivels at the front so I could add a bipod and keep the sling as well.
Stay safe.
SORRY!!!Curse you.Never heard of that section of the site, never bought a Boyd's stock, but have been looking at them for awhile.
Now, somehow, I have 2 Rapid Fire stocks inbound.
not sorry
It always surprises me how well hidden the rapid fire page is on boyds site.
I've used Boyd's stocks on a bunch of Americans and they end up weighing a bit more than they do from the factory I believe it's less than a pound unless you're talking about the really heavy stocks like the pro varmint.
I suppose some of the earliest generations might be significantly lighter with the factory stock those had far less reinforcement than the newest ones do.

Next level stuff right there.
I put the Prairie Hunter on my stainless Axis II 6.5CM. It only added a few ounces weight. It looks and feels great. Axis rifles are a challenge to bed but I bedded mine in, added a steel pillar and a metal trigger guard. To say it is an accurate is not doing it justice. It is also one of the rifles I got from Walmart on DEEP discount and a Savage rebate.
The fit was perfect, it looks factory or better.

And nope.
The target has a different rear vblock/mag release assembly. They are close enough that I can shave .3" from that area of the stock. I'll try to get a target block first though since that would give the stock more "meat" at the mounting bolt
Thats sweet. I always like these projects

I think this is a reflection of just how great this Forum is.
If anyone ever needed help reducing the amount of cash on hand, THR is there for you!!!
I have personally experienced enabling and heavy handed peer pressure.
They also give you ideas in case you might have been running short on necessary cartridge additions etc.
