Thinking of picking up a Boyd's stock for my Venture and/or Remington 783. I have always preferred a wood stock, and like the tons of checkering styles Boyd's offers.
I do have some questions though -
Both the Venture and 783 are considered to have some of the "better" synthetic stocks on value rifles. The 783 is even pillar bedded, albeit not in a fancy way.
How well is a Boyd's going to fit without me bedding it? I'd just like to hear some experiences from folks who have bought one for a "value" class rifle (Marlin X series, Savage 110, Ruger American, etc.) and whether or not it HAD to be glass bedded or pillar bedded.
Thanks!
