Bedding a boyds laminate stock.

Ell my testing with my reloads was very promising and my first attempt at 600 yds was a 3 group. I have just ordered a boyds laminate thumbhole stock for my mauser and am waiting for it to be dispatched. I was thinking of a matt varnish or wood oil or perhaps a light stain to tone. Looking at the back shelf it s appears to be a boyd stock and not one of the older fajen stocks type 1 in nutmeg.

First would be in heavy magnums or firearms with excessive recoil. Since it was a sale item i couldn t be too choosy about the colour royal jacaranda. Great for a target rifle but a bit too bling for a hunting rifle. I have ordered a boyds thumbhole stock ross varmint laminated model for my remington model 7 predator.

However in some cases it s recommended to bed your action. If you going to bed do so correctly which is fully bedded. Time to accurize this savage axis by pillar bedding its action to a boyds pro varmint laminate stock. I have never seen any pillar bedding jobs up close but think i understand the basic concept.

After i did that with the factory stock i went the boyds route. My second gun was a old used savage 308 that i rebarreled to 6mm creed. I use jb weldpillar bedding video here. Essentially 2 aluminum pillars are somehow installed into the stock where the action screws go through the stock correct.

Went the same route with the boyds. The two points of bedding are to get the receiver solid in the stock and to get the correct amount of tension on the barrel. I bed a boyds thumbhole stock to a rws howa weatherby action. Partial bedding will not resolve both of these.
