V8 90 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Bit more salt for the wounds - Sorry ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Got my Boyd's stock today. All in the total was around £120 which is pretty good. Only problem is that one of the screw heads twisted off when tightening it all together, leaving me with the threaded bit stuck in my new stock It's really annoyed me as I must now drill the screw out and attempt to source a new screw that will fit the countersunk profile of the screwhole in the trigger guard. A new factory screw would fit if I drilled it out with the perfect sized bit, but it really didn't take much effort to twist the head off the screw. I've just lost all faith in the factory screws that CZ provide. It reminded me of pewter the way it came off. Just seemed a really weak lead alloy metal type material. Whats wrong with making screws out of steel ***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornet 6 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Whats wrong with making screws out of steel ***. They are made of steel, but CZ expect two things...... 1/ That you use a screwdriver that is a perfect fit for the screw head. 2/ And that you insert the screw in to a pre-drilled hole of the proper size. (which is tapered by the way) Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornet 6 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Do you think I'm thick? Didn't say that did I, but only you know if you drilled the hole to a suitable size and used the correct screwdriver. Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 All sorted and stock fitted. The screw was utter tripe. Very very soft metal. I compared the snapped screw to another taken from the rifle and it appears that the snapped screw must have been a bit of a rogue. The screw holes were very small when I got the stock, hence the reason I drilled them out. All is sorted now anyway. Very happy overall with the fit and finish of the stock. Worth the dough in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Bump, Right I want a lovely boyds thumbhole stock for my 452 Varmint HMR. Couple of questions, from what I've read I'll need to ask for magnum inletting is that correct? Also will the action just drop in or am I gonna need to hack, drill and screw to make it fit? Lastly, must this stock and action be bedded as this is something I have absolutely no idea about? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Not sure about the hmr but with my .22lr varmint the action dropped straight in all I had to do was drill the holes for the trigger guard. I have recently found I do have some movement between my action and stock though as the I letting has been slightly over done so gonna bed it to fill the gaps.

Muddy Funker Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nice one thanks!! Anyone had experience with fitting one to a 17HMR Varmint? Did it all fit together without and cutting or drilling? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Straight fit - awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Funker Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Straight fit - awesome ! Yes!!! That's the answer I was hoping for, magnum inletting I take it? Now, which colour??? Thanks. Edited October 12, 2012 by Muddy Funker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Email Boyds from the link on their site & tell them exactly what rifle you want a stock for - the magnum inlet does require slight modification I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply, this is what I'm struggling with a little as some say it's a straight fit and others say it needs modding? I'll email them as you suggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeds chimp Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 shame as i have a spare stock for a marlin 917 vs hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge007 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think UK prices are £200 + and then they arnt finished ! I bought this one for £130 delivered personally to my door by the guy who makes them from scratch. Its alot lighter than my friends CZ455 factory stock. When i sold my old stock it worked out about £80.00 !!! He does loads of different colour options, If you want his contact details and his website i will send you it.
