      I love the stock but can't seem to find it at Boyds. Is it the Applejack? Do you have a link?

      thanks,

          nice!
          what rings are you using? did you do any polishing work to make mag removal easier?
          when you installed the DIP pieces did you shave down the spring end?

          Ps 25:4-5 NLT Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

                  From the factory its a satin finish. I just polished it with scratch-X and gave it a polish with howards wax and feed. Took about 15min.

                    the rings were from the 3x9 scope (centerfire). I had on the black stock the are for the 3/4 inch dovetail on the rec. The rings that came with the new scope are for a weaver base.

                    No I didn't do any polish work. Just the bolt. The mags are snug but not overly so. The DIP trigger is stock. Seems to be fine. May need to tune after a trip to the range.
