My cousin just bought a browning abolt ot came in a Boyd’s varmit thumb hole stock.
It also came with the original.
A Zeiss conquest scope.
It’s in 300. Any way he got the rifle for the scope.

The surprise was how well even off hand that that the rife settled in and the cross hair did not move.
He like me doesn’t like 300 but is thinking of giving the set up a try.

I am thinking of getting a stock like that but for my j9.
I know they are different rifles and will balance somewhat differently.
But do you think the stock will still settle in bacilly the same.

I really like the way it did and felt.
But I don’t think you can shoot it left handed.
I am not a lefty any more but can still shoot lefty if I need to.

What do y’all think?
 
I have several Boyd’s thumbhole stocked rifles and like how they fit, my culling 223 has one and it’s used nearly daily, you can shoot right handed rifles left handed but they are uncomfortable to do so.
Also 300 what? 300 rook, 300 rum , H&H?

300 wsm
I was left handed but took a bullet into the upper arm and had a lot of nerve damage and really could not do much with it for a few years.
So learn to be right handed.
The way that stock is I don’t see being able to get a grip right with the thumb hole but I didn’t try it.
 
300wsm, good cartridge
And you can’t get a good grip as such using it the opposite way to its design, it’s more of a "only if you have to " scenario

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.
I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!
I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
