Continuing with my budget build of the Axis in 308, here's a video about my new At One Thumbhole stock from Boyd's Gunstocks. I'm pretty happy with it!
I shoot 500+ yds with my savage axis .270 with Accu trigger with no problem. Ordering one of these stocks very soon. I love the idea of taking a cheap gun and making it amazing.
Savage rifle usually shoot really well! 308 have a good barrel life if you care. Now you have a good stock. After that you will need a good scope! You dont need to break the bank, something like a Diamondback tactical (or bushnell/athlon equivalent) is more than enough to begin. Find the ammo that work if you dont want to reload and look for your shooting skill improvement. It may look like a budget rifle to you but dont worry too much about that, if it work, it work.
That rifle looks great, I have one coming in Applejack finish and can not wait. The rifle shoots great now, so I am not looking for much improvement, I just wanted to dress it up
Do you feel like this version/brand is bulkier and/or heavier than some other polymer stock versions. Like say Bergaras HMR polymer stocks. Or do you think it’s bulkier in a good way, that doesn’t add much weight? Nice review!
I have 2 Savage axis rifles,one in 25/05 and the other in 270.and both are left handed,so does Boyd's have the same thing that you have in left handed for me and my guns!!!!!?????
Do you remember the exact details of this stock? I’m looking at their website for a couple days now but it shows left hand bolt long/short action only and I’m kinda confused being my bolt is on the right hand side.. any info would be greatly appreciated!
My son bought one of these stocks for his Savage Axis .270. He dropped the in some long grass and we scoured the area for hours. Does anyone sell replacement buttons - Boyds or others?
It’s very heavy. I have upgraded the scope to a vortex along with some other things, and it has become pretty tough to hold steady for long periods of time if I’m not on a bench or using the bipod.
@@StandAloneOutfitters got it. Yeah that was my worry because I hunt outwest and cover a ton of ground up and down canyons. I as wrll have a vortex scope so maybe I will look into the spike camp set up or another stock company.
I got my axis II in 308 late last summer and purchased a Boyd at one stock. I have had nothing but problems with getting the magazine to stay in. I have to file the latch on the magazine to get it to catch. But then it won't feed the rounds through, They seem to get hung up on the feed ramp. Tomorrow I am getting an inch-pound torque screwdriver delivered and I am going to makes sure it is torqued to the correct specifications, Any other suggestions? I should try different ammo.
This one is a budget scope off of Amazon. (Feyachi frs 21 i believe) It is pretty good for such a low end scope and it holds zero fine, but there are definitely some drawbacks which Is why I put a vortex 6x24 on it now
@@StandAloneOutfitters yea i just ordered a vortex 6-24 for mine as well. What scope rings did you use for that 50mm lens? Im not sure if i need to get mediums or highs

Cool looking gun is ok..... cool looking gun that shoots is priceless
Just ordered the same stock for my Browning X-Bolt.
Savage barrel's are made to be one of the most accurate

Nice review!
It is definitely a heavy stock, but I think it’s not uncomfortable. You can still Shoulder the rifle without feeling like it’s a struggle
@@StandAloneOutfitters is it like old school custom “bull barrel/match grade” stock, heavy?

Nice job on the video. I’m thinking about this stock. Did you bed the stock or just use it as is?
I just used it as is, and I haven’t had any issues so far
How long is the standard LOP on the boyd stocks, is it 12" like the regular at one or is it a bit bigger with the thumbhole

Did you have any problems with the screws being to short
Is this one the “coyote “ color?
Yessir!
What finish is that?
Coyote I believe
Love this stock. Do you by chance remember the model number of it? I want this one for my savage axis xp. Thx in advance!
This is the coyote color scheme with the at-one thumb hole stock
Unfortunately I send to them email then a reminder email for the first one they never care to answer.
I just got an savage axis in 308. When you ordered this stock did you get the long action?
Short action
How is that stock build with hunting? Is it heavy in the field?
It’s very heavy. I have upgraded the scope to a vortex along with some other things, and it has become pretty tough to hold steady for long periods of time if I’m not on a bench or using the bipod.

How much did this setup weigh?

Nice gun, what scope and ring setup is that?

Scope rings are just the ones that came with the scope too
@@StandAloneOutfitters yea i just ordered a vortex 6-24 for mine as well. What scope rings did you use for that 50mm lens? Im not sure if i need to get mediums or highs
@@bulkleyoutdoors get mediums. The highs were way too high. The mediums are just the right size for clearance
@@StandAloneOutfitters oh perfect, thanks 👍 would love to see a gun update or scope review if you dont already have one!
Which brand of scope is that?
It will take deer just fine.
