B&C Anschutz or Boyd's Tacticool?

[iron330]

I know there's quite a difference in price. Other than price, what are your thoughts? Gun is 10/22 with Kidd 20" match.

I have a Razor 10/22 with KIDD 20" tapered match barrel in a Tacticool. I like it. Got it real reasonable in a trade. Of course, the B&C is really nice if you have the dough!

I bought a unfinished Tacticool from midway (~$80). Took a belt sander to it and shaped it to fit my hand. Came out quite nice, low cost, and fun to shoot.

I have the Tacticool stock...I like the looks and the feel of it.

It depends on the look you're going for and the type of shooting you plan - the design of the stock should reflect the style of shooting. I'm rather fond of walnut and wanted to build a pure benchrest rifle so I went with a B&C Anschutz style thumbhole stock with a nice flat bottom fore end. The flat bottom works well with sandbags and mechanical rests. But I'm not sure they still make those in walnut and I haven't tried one of their synthetic stocks.

If you're going for the tacticool look go with Boyds. If you get a good Boyds stock you're in good shape but I haven't always had great luck with the receiver to inlet fit. One was great, while another was sloppy but they do include sling studs if you need them.


B&C thumbhole Anschutz.

Don't forget to look at Revolution stocks as well.

All beautiful rifles there folks. Being that neither stock is in stock anywhere, I'll ponder it a bit more.

Thanks.
