New build..................

[Richard]

Normally I do not show my builds since most are pretty standard. This one however has the first Boyd's thumbhole varminter stocks with their new Tactical black paint job. The barrel is .45 from McGowan and I installed a Harrell's muzzle brake. Other than the bushing breech plug, pillars and bedding it is a utilitarian hunting rifle. Two previous SML's wee built for this gentleman and this one is for his dad. Hopefully it will bag one of those big Kansas whitetails this year

I like it also, still trying to decide on a stock for mine.

Stock looks like it has that "throwback" black orange peel finish I first saw on a White Rifle years ago. I'm sure it aint that crappy old myrtle wood that so many of the Whites broke through the pistol grip, I've repaired 2 for other guys and I put a pin through my Bisons pistol grip too. Being a Boyds I'm sure it won't split, is it a composite or lam stock? Really cool nice looker. What is the poundage on that rig now? Again, cool lookin rig. 10 ga

Yeah, its definitely a wood laminate that has been painted. Dang! I forgot to weight it and it just left here this morning. I would bet right around ten pounds? If you really needed to know, I could e-mail the guy and have him weight it? Most all these builds in a Boyd's stock like that come in around 10 lbs.

I'm not a thumb-hole fan but it looks good in black. I also don't like brakes but that one makes that build look good. Weird how things I don't care for can look good when put together right. I've always been a fan of black actions on stainless barrels. Either way it should shoot good and put down big plains deer. I would say that is what he expects given he has come back two times for more of your work.
