[QUOTE="TNRifleman, post: 4438246, member: 16556"] I have had a few Boyd's stocks and have had the thumbhole as well. The Boyd's have some really good things going for them and then a couple of small issues that I didn't care for. First, the fit on everyone I have ever had has been spot on. No material to remove and they are truly a drop in fit. Secondly, they look really good and are finished well. Alos, the thumbhole works great as your hand gets to absorb some of the recoil as opposed to all in the shoulder. FInally, I have never seen a drop in accuracy when using one versus an OEM stock. The negatives for me is that the laminate wood is VERY soft and dings up pretty easily. It would be hard to pull it up to a tree stand without marking it up in some way. Also, as I mentioned above the finish is very good but EXTREMELY smooth. it almost felt slippery to me it was that smooth. It was worse when it was really cold and I had to make sure I wore gloves with little rubber nubs on them. That being said, if I were to get another one, I would get the grip and fore end checker to alleviate that issue. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
