My Boyds stock and forend set installed in only minutes and fit like it grew there. I added a Pachmayr solid rubber recoil pad ($30) and the all-weather finish ($50) for a total cost of $221. ![]() The laminated construction produces an extremely rigid stock that significantly enhances accuracy on bolt-action rifles, and effectively reduces perceived recoil with any rifle. The stock is highly stable at low temperatures and will not become brittle like composite or fiberglass stocks do.
