BOYDS SPIKE CAMP: DROP-IN STOCK TEST

It used to be that if you wanted to customize or personalize your rifle, you had to enlist the services of a gunsmith. Not only was this time-consuming, it was also expensive. Today—at least when it comes to rifle stocks—shooters have a seemingly endless variety of aftermarket stocks to choose from, with prices ranging from a few hundred bucks to over a grand; and most are DIY projects.

I recently tested a variety of after-market stocks and was impressed with how an affordable stock from Boyds performed. Not only was it the least-expensive stock tested, the rifle shot more precisely from that stock than with any of the others. Wondering if this might have been a fluke, I reached out to Boyds and asked if it would support a more comprehensive test.

Most of the time, when you read about a replacement rifle stock, it—much like the. As a consumer, you might not feel confident spending your money on a review involving a single sample.
