Lewdan 17 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Great value for the money,almost bomb proof, a little work on the trigger and accuracy is as good as any other rifle... LD.. Quote Link to post

charlie caller 3,654 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Spot on, I have a Weatherby vanguard (same rifle) in .243 Boyds custom stock, trigger tune, it will print ragged one hole groups @100 yards with handloads, I dont know about the .223 but they dont seem too ammo fussy, good choice.

Hi mate, What are the Boyds stock like, did you send out to the states for it & what was the total cost ? sorry for being a bit of a parker but been thinking about sending for a thumbhole stock for my Howa .204 Cheers.

charlie caller 3,654 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 No problem mate, I rate them very highly, I was on the verge of glass bedding mine before the Boyds stock, it freefloated the barrel, and was such a good fit accuracy was improved at once, they have two steel pins running through them that seems to add tremendous stiffness, I got the sporter laminate stock, cost to my door was about £130.00 if memory serves.
