Show me your Boyd Laminate Stock

[Rare Breed]

Thinking about buying one of these to put on my .505 gibbs, but the website doesn't do a great job of representing the colors. Would love to see some actual photos, thanks in advance

Great replacement stocks!!! When my dad’s Ruger M77 stock cracked bought one and love it. The only problem is when I replaced the trigger with a Timney they had to take out a lot of wood to get it to work

Any opinions on what color to choose? Keeping in mind it is going onto a rilfe I paid 5k for. I have narrowed my choices to:
Nutmeg
X Maple
XX Maple
Walnut Standard
X Walnut
Claro XX Walnut


Wait... Are some of these just regular wood? I thought they were all laminate - Definitely only looking at a laminated stock

Oh, and a blackbuck.

I gotta be honest, I would not put a Boyds stock on a 5,000 dollar rifle. They make a decent stock for the money, but I am not especially enamored with their offerings. The Platinum is the only pattern I like enough to own on the Remington 600 I pictured. They have some weird lines and architecture in a lot of their stocks. I would look elsewhere on an expensive rifle. Thats just me, no offense intended to those who like them.

What action is your 505 ? I would look at Accurate Innovations

Or Richards Microfit.

Here's an Accurate Innovations stock I got in 2012 for my Ruger African in 375 Ruger. Zero complaints, it has done the job well. But for a DG Rifle in laminate wood I'm not sure I'd say it's any better or worse than the Boyd's Platinum IMO.
