This rifle stock thing is becoming a bad habit. This is my 4th stock for the year and in order; Boyds Varmint Thumbhole for a Savage model 10 blind mag 223, Boyds Spike Camp to replace the Thumbhole as I did not find it comfortable. Richards Microfit Field Trekker for a Savage model 11 build.Stock got broke in a fall. Last stock is a Boyds At-One Thumbhole to replace the broken Richards.
Now some brief feedback on this experience and I will do my best to keep it objective.
All three stocks arrived in a very timely order and well packaged. The first stoch was fittind to the gun very quickly and easily and shot very well out of the box. I just could not adjust to the thumbhole in this stock and it was quickly replaced with the Boyds Spike Camp which I find much more comfortable and less restictive.
This Spike Camp also fit w/o any adjustment only this one would not shoot worth a dam out of the box. My nice 200yd MOA went to 7" groups if you want to call that a group. After a Full epoxy bedding it is now also shooting nicely.
Now the At-One Thumbhole. All the bottom metal, trigger guard and mag bottom metal would not fit into the stock. Had to get out the Dremel and do some relieving to get everything to fit. The receiver channel is also very rough and uneven and when the receiver is in place and tightened down the DBM will not insert and latch in place. I believe the top of the mag is hitting the bottom of the receiver. Will investigate further and also get ready to epoxy bed this action.
