Jeremiah shows off two of Boyds hardwood gunstocks and takes them to the range.
**Editor's Note** The HOWA 1500 in 6.5 Creedmoor was bedded while the Ruger American in 223 Remington was not. If you are shooting any cartridge with more recoil than the 223 Remington bedding is required. If you do not bed the action it can damage the stock when shooting cartridges that recoil more than 223 Remington. This is an important note that was missed in the final video. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Great video very informative. I would like to see a video on the shooting bench looks very good and comfortable. .

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

Thank you very much we appreciate the feedback and the kind words! The shooting bench is awesome we probably should do a video on it at some point but sadly they no longer make these benches so they are very very hard to find. But perhaps we should do a video on shooting benches in general. Thanks for watching and the suggestion we greatly appreciate it! --Jeremiah

Thank you for this video. I have been considering an AT1 stock for my ruger ranch rifle

I have a marlin x7vh 223 that I got a boyds stock for at the time the varmint thumbhole was my only option. It's a very nice stock but definitely designed for staying on a bench or on bags very wide forend. I have been debating on an at one and I think you have helped tip the scales. Plus the adjustability is nice for when my daughter wants to shoot it.

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

I have not tried their thumbhole stocks as of yet but perhpas in the future i'll give them a try. They are hard to beat for the money and they definitely are set up for more target style applications. However, I have had mine out on quite a few coyote stands and done a lot of shooting off of bipods with them and they do work well for those purposes. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

I have the At-One stock on my CZ457 and it is great, I have the Lux version so with a scope it was really hard to get a good cheek weld. The Boyd's stock fixed that and now my groups are what they should be.

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

I love those CZ 457 rifles they are great! They are very ergonomic and a relatively cheap solution to get a stock that fits you just right. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

I have a few. Take head to "some fitting MAY BE required. Sometimes its minimal other-times well NOT SO MUCH! I JUST went thru a Pro Varmint on a Marlin 880. (Video up)

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

Indeed they almost always need some fitting, but if done properly they do fit nicely. We appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your experience with us. It is always nice to know what others have experiences and sharing those details is greatly beneficial for those who check the comments! I'll check out your video sounds pretty interesting. Thanks again --Jeremiah

I've had an unfortunate experience with Boyds personally. Ordered a black and red stock, showed up pink. ... They had to have known it was wrong before sending it. Also, the CVA Cascade long action should not be available in the AT One thumbhole. There is less than 1/4 of material left around the pillars, and it split in less than 100 shots. I feel like I paid 400 for a piece of firewood.

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

Hmmm I would certainly think they would fix that mistake I could see boxes getting mixed up or something like that but as for the AT one thumbhole splitting they certainly should fix that, send a replacement or at lest refund the money if it indeed does not work. I sadly do not have a CVA Cascade to test this out in for myself but that is good know. Hopefully Boyds fixes the issues you've had I know their warranty is pretty good. Out of curiosity, what did you torque the action screws to? Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts and experience! --Jeremiah

@Gprox184 3 месяца назад

@@HandloaderTV all valid thoughts good sir. I will say I wanted to like it! I will say I never checked the torque, but I'm confident in my ability to not over tighten things. I'm sure it'll be my fault somehow. I don't appreciate companies that waste peoples time by sending out bs and saying, "we will fix it if you don't like it"... Just do it right... I just felt ripped off right from the start. There will be no returns on this one, I've made a dog toy out of it.

@georgekerrigan3227 21 день назад

All these bad reviews are sad, and hopefully not a bunch of BS from competitors. I bought a Remington 788 in 22-250 back in the early 70’s. The rifle out shot Remington’s flagship 700, but although the action and barrel performed exceptionally the cheap “hardwood” stock sucked. The rifle has a free floating barrel and even though I never had it out in the rain and do not have excess humidity in my area, the stock warped a bit after a few decades. It was no longer free floating. I had a great rifle with a crap stock and spend years seeking a replacement but because the model was discontinued (due to its outselling the 700), no one was making a stock for it. However, because benchrest shooters had long since realized the great action of this $99.00 special I eventually found a BOYD’s stock to fit it. The price was reasonable and I bought it on line as a Christmas gift to myself. It is laminated so it shouldn’t warp! It’s gorgeous in the natural wood shades I chose and the free float is clear enough to slide a few dollar bills from the muzzle clean up to the action! Their stock is the savior of my much loved chuck gun that I used to nail upstate NY chucks from 300 plus yds. Without trying very hard. GK

Every video I see you shooting off of your portable bench, I start to drool because I want one, just like it so bad. I am a paraplegic and every bench I have purchased isn't steady and moves around in the wind we have in my area. I love to go out and hunt Rock chucks that are raising cain with farmers crops, and shoot them up to a thousand yards. It's almost impossible off any of the shakey benches I have.

@michaelwilson9986 3 месяца назад

Hey you know ya not supposed have fun without ne Shezzzzzzzzz😂😂😂😂 I never have took the plunge on one of theres gave thought about however

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

Ha Ha, we certainly do have a lot of fun putting these together! I do enjoy them for shooting off the bench, varmint hunting and even shooting from various different positions they work well and are reasonably priced as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment always good to hear from you! --Jeremiah

How can you tell when powder goes bad?

@HandloaderTV 3 месяца назад

Great question the biggest part of the equation is if it's stored properly if so then it is good for a very very long time. The smell of the powder can indicate if it has gone bad it can have a bit of an acidic smell to it something similar to muriatic acid when major deterioration has occurred. If it is discolored or has multiple colors on the individual granules that is a sign the powder was contained and is no longer good. If it passes a visual inspection and smell test then the next step would be to shoot it over a chronograph and see how the velocity stacks up to the manual and adjust your load accordingly. All in all it's pretty simple to tell and also very rare that powder goes bad and if stored properly it is good indefinitely. Great question thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

@robertjones5477 2 месяца назад

Everyone say they suck and you have to work on them

@HandloaderTV Месяц назад

They do require some fitting and sometimes bedding especially with larger cartridges. I think that is where a lot of folks run into trouble. However, if done properly they make a great stock and they are very reasonably priced as well. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. --Jeremiah

What colors are the stocks?

@rayzielonka7856 3 месяца назад

Check the Boyds stock carefully. When I got mine I noticed something was off. Sure enough, I pulled out the micrometer. I measured both sides of the fore end, mag well ect.. the whole stock was a millimeter off center. The foreend measured 3.5mm on one side, 5.5mm on the other side. Mag well too. Sent it back.
