I have been using calguns as a great resource for info over the years and was hoping to get some info. I know this is only my first real post, but usually I can find the answer I'm looking for on the forum and don't feel inclined to ask the same questions that have already been answered. But I'm kind of at a loss as to how Boyds handles warranty/quality issues.
My wife bought me a Boyds laminate stock for my birthday in 2015. It went onto a savage axis in 308. Stock was an awesome upgrade over the factory plastic stock and was able to get 1-1.5 inch groups with it. I was happy with it... well i took it out this last weekend to try out some lead free ammo and couldn't get it to group at all. 8-10 inch groups, figured maybe it was scope mounts, nope... receiver bolts, nope... ammo, nope (switched back to what I originally sighted in with and had been using). So I get home and decide to investigate further. As I was taking the front receiver bolt off I hear something fall on the table. Look down and there's a small piece of plastic. Get the receiver completely off and look down where the mag catch is and there is more plastic. The whole front "plastic" pillar had self destructed. I was just a little pissed that it was plastic. So I'm thinking of how to fix it, pop the plastic mag catch bracket out and am staring at the stock and notice that the stock has cracked as well. I've put less than 60 rounds through it and it's already failed.
Will Boyds replace the stock?
If I send it to them will they replace it?
Or am I just SOL and have to use factory plastic?
