Recently purchased the AT-1 thumb hole stock. Edges at the grip frame are much rounder and ergonomic. Stock is lightweight. I do recommend getting the metal trigger guard when you purchase the stock so you get one shipping cost. Yet to shoot yet but looks amazing. Install was on a Ruger American 6.5 creedmoor for reference.
I have a AT-1 on a Howa 1500 barreled action. I thought I would like it at first, but it grew off me. You showed the square corners, I tried to round the grips over, but there isn't enough plastic. It digs into the top of my hand and hurts, scrapes and bruises. I wear a work glove on my left hand to prevent this. It also lessens my dexterity. The skinny fore end had to be replaced. The buttplate won't hold a Limbsaver. This old man needs one with the .308. I know that Boyd offers the fore end and pistol grip as an option, but for the extra cost I could have had an adjustable rest on a varmint stock. It's definitely not a hunter either. Those sharp edges hrt if you carry it in you hand or on a sling. Cute is not always the best.
Just got my Boyd's AT one stock today for my Savage Axis 30-06 in zombie hunter green and it is awesome , fit is great , finish is great , pictures don't do them justice they are beautiful . The stock is very rigid , nothing flimsy about it like I read in some comments , solid as a brick and not very heavy , we will see how it holds up to the recoil though , 30-06 should be a good test .
Good, Informative, Helpful Post ! I have glass bedded THUMBHOLE @ ONE STOCKS on my RUGER ALL AMERICAN BOLT .22 and KIMBER M82 GOVERNMENT. The only stock I like more is the OEM one on my ANSCHUTZ 1913 SUPERMATCH .
I am looking into Boyd at-one so this video was perfect, for the price of at-one, i should give it a try! Subscribed and will find time to watch all your videos!
Thinking of At-One Thumbhole camo for my Ruger American. You mentioned easy bedding, what technique? I'm a rookie but I understand there's pillar, glass, or epoxy? Boyd's sells the pillar system with the gun, do the pillars drop right in or require additional drilling? Something that a mechanically inclined carpenter/mechanic should take on or gunsmith to get it done right?
I've only purchased 2) At one stocks. The first stock from boyds was close to perfect, the second I had to do alot of sanding & Dremel work, Be sure to check clearances barrel to stock clearances before applying any compound,
The extremely short length of pull, the rigidity of a wet noodle, the inability to support a 6 pound rifle, the inability to handle more than 10 inch pounds of torque on the action screws before the stock is crushed, the hours of fitting required to finish the inletting due to their awful work, and their absolute bottom of the barrel customer service. Other than that, there's probably only a handful more things not to like about the stock.
Really love the videos. Glad I found your channel! I too have the savage 12fv in 6.5 creed, thats going to be my winter project. Looking at buying the boyds At-One stock as well. Really appreciate all the wisdom your sharing!
I bought an At-One for my Savage. The stock is very flimsy and I could easily break it with finger strength. It's extremely fragile. The length of pull is adjustable from child midget to full grown midget. The longest length it can be set to would be too short for someone 5 feet tall.
I heard about people taking sand paper to the 90s, and then adding a slight palm swell indent on the right side; just after of the black pistol like area.
Thanks for the videos! I am ultimately thinking about taking my enjoyment of the 6.5 147s and 150s b.c. and mixing them with Americano 06. 6.5-06 build off of a Tikka perhaps.
Landon Miller, Alamo Precision finished the build yesterday and just my luck I had to go out of town. The delay was do to the chassis I requested. I am looking forward to reloading with RL26.
Yes sir,watch all your videos,and really enjoy them. Thanks for what you do. Need your opinion on a stock for Ruger American predator 6.5 creedmoor. Looking at Boyd’s at one and the magpul Hunter for Ruger American. Magpul will not be available untill late summer. Which do you think would be the better stock. Thanks in advance for your help. Rifle is mostly used for distance shooting. Thanks!!
Declay44mag that’s a tough call. Really comes down to what you think is more comfortable actually. I’m a huge fan of the Boyd’s ProVarmint with the adjustable cheek.
What's your take between the thumbhole and the at-one for all around use? The thumbhole looks a little better and more comfortable, but I do like a high comb that you can get on the At-One. Unfortunately Boyd's only allows the adjustable comb on the varmint and At-One.
Greg Geis tough call, it’s a personal preference thing for sure. I’m not a fan of the thumb hole stocks. I really like the adjustability of the At-One. If I had to choose, I’d go with the At-One.! But again, that’s just me.!
I ordered one, as there's nothing else available for Thompson Center rifles. 2 Q's, did it come with a trigger guard on it, and did you need to use bedding compound with it?
Ian Zoerb no trigger guard and YES you really should bed it.! It will probably say in the paperwork that comes with it that Boyd’s recommendation is to bed the stock.!
I’m currently building a 6.5 creedmore with a savage model 11 action.. I’m looking for a cost effective chassi system but you’ve got me interested in a Boyd’s until then.. do you have any tips!? Love you’re channel by the way!
Tom, yes they offer it for the 12, I own several. I don't know the specific model number, you'll have to walk though the Boyds site and enter in all your rifle information.
Great series of videos. I've subscribed to your videos plan on watching a bunch of them great learning and honest reviews that should help in putting together a quality rifle. Question, have you used Brownells Alumnhyde II? I plan on using it soon and heard its very similar to duracoat. Just curious what your thoughts are.
Mark Robinson, in that opening NRA advertisement, is a national hero for expressing it all so well. Kudos to Mark, and piss on all the antiguns. Now go out and buy more guns and ammo, and if you haven't, join the NRA and it's ILA, dammit.
Awesome, the reason I asked is because I saw a video where this guy said it cannot be pillar bed, because there is something in the stock it wont let you drill the holes, looking forward to see when you work on this stock, thanks for the info and happy new year buddy.
Mark Hernandez there is something in the stock, so he’s right.. this stock the costumer brought me had aluminum in it. However, it doesn’t touch the action and is inside the wood. It would be simple to drill through and insert a pillar, just drill the correct size hole.!
I was thinking on that video I told you about, I watched it this morning and there is some kind of metal like you said, he said that his gunsmith used a magnet and found out there is a metal so he didn't install the pillars just bed the action, I hope you can talk more about this stock, I really like to see if it really help with accuracy, I was thinking on maybe getting this stock or maybe go with a MDT chassis but I haven't decide yet, this is a small project for my son so I don't want to put to much money in it just the right components. Thanks again
These look like a million bucks in the video, but they are pretty lack luster products. Why would you make an adjustable stock that only makes the gun smaller. The butt adjustment makes the stock length almost as long as a factory stock (CZ 457) in the out position, and makes the length youth sized when closed. The plastic 'grips' are rigid and harsh to hold onto. The buttons for the cheek and butt adjustments are clunky and require to much force to operate. If I would have purchased this anywhere else but directly from Boyds, I would have assumed I got a cheap Chinese knockoff. Not impressed.
Boyd's at one stock for the Savage is junk. Everything is cut too deep. Nothing worked, safety, trigger, mag. Also you'll need to shorten all screws or add washers and spacers to make it work. I put it back into the original stock in less than a minute and everything works perfect.
Great information! Keep up the good work!!!

So tuned in for the Boyds thing and got advertising the whole video,,,well almost the whole thing

Exciting stuff man! Stoked to see some builds!
I am looking into Boyd at-one so this video was perfect, for the price of at-one, i should give it a try! Subscribed and will find time to watch all your videos!
Mine came in for my tc compass 3/13/20 I love it!!!!! Best 200 bucks I've spent. Gonna pillar and glass bed it this coming week also.

I've been looking into getting this type of stock! Thanks for posting this!
Don't do it.
You rock, Curt! Love what you did! Keep up the great work!
Beautiful! So glad you built a 6.5 Creedmoor from the Savage 12 FV action as I own a 12 FV! Can't wait to see how it shoots!
Everything seems to be "slick" lol
😂
Beautiful stock. Especially for the money. What’s not to like?
The extremely short length of pull, the rigidity of a wet noodle, the inability to support a 6 pound rifle, the inability to handle more than 10 inch pounds of torque on the action screws before the stock is crushed, the hours of fitting required to finish the inletting due to their awful work, and their absolute bottom of the barrel customer service.

dieselmakesmehappy thank you.! Hope it helps you out. Send me a picture of the finished rifle if you don’t mind, I’d like to see it.!
Vaughn Precision Most definitely, will do!
i know this is a old video but what is the diameter of that barrel and did you have to remove wood from the barrel channel to get it to fit?
I don’t recall and I don’t have that rifle anymore. I didn’t have to remove wood I know that. I think it was around 5/8” near the end of the stock
OK Thanks
It looks good with the stainless barrel and the stainless on the length of pull stainless look.
Big Gee ya I’m not sure why he’s going black, but that’s on him.!
I have the Axis ii xp. Do they make a stock for my model?
Not sure, you’ll have to visit their website
Finally someone actually shown us how it adjusts, nice stock
I bought an At-One for my Savage. The stock is very flimsy and I could easily break it with finger strength. It's extremely fragile. The length of pull is adjustable from child midget to full grown midget. The longest length it can be set to would be too short for someone 5 feet tall.
Did you have to make the barrel Channel bigger? My channel is to small
I did on a few of these yes, but some were bull barrels so I had no choice.
I heard about people taking sand paper to the 90s, and then adding a slight palm swell indent on the right side; just after of the black pistol like area.
Big Gee would be nice to round off some corners
Thanks for the videos! I am ultimately thinking about taking my enjoyment of the 6.5 147s
and 150s b.c. and mixing them with Americano 06. 6.5-06 build off of a Tikka perhaps.
@@slightenigma Built a 6.5-05 this summer and havent regretted it
Landon Miller, Alamo Precision finished the build yesterday and just my luck I had to go out of town. The delay was do to the chassis I requested.
I am looking forward to reloading with RL26.
how long does it typically take from the time you order them, to the time you get your hands on it?
I wonder if they make these for the Ruger American Magnum rifles? The 7mag, 300 mag and the 338 win mag
Yes sir,watch all your videos,and really enjoy them. Thanks for what you do. Need your opinion on a stock for Ruger American predator 6.5 creedmoor.

for target shooting your thumb is NOT gripping.
I would love this if it didnt have those almost 90 angles...
Do they make one of the heavy barrels for a 742 Remington in 30 06 26 in. Long
I'm not sure, you'd have to check their website and plug in your rifle info to see if they make one.
Do you do work for customers? Looking to have my barrel threaded if you are able to...?
Do you have any experience comparing the DURA-COAT to the CERACOAT and BIRDSONG BLACK-T finishes ? Thank You
Ron Sindric unfortunately I don’t. I’ve primarily used just duracoat
Thank you. I found the BIRDSONG BLACK-T on my carry P95 to be an incredible addition.
I ordered one, as there's nothing else available for Thompson Center rifles. 2 Q's, did it come with a trigger guard on it, and did you need to use bedding compound with it?
Ian Zoerb no trigger guard and YES you really should bed it.! It will probably say in the paperwork that comes with it that Boyd’s recommendation is to bed the stock.!
@@vaughnprecision thank you, just learning this practice, but I will have someone assisting me with it.

I see you have the Berger manual, how do you like it?
Have you put a Boyd stock on the Mossberg MVP 308 Patrol?
Jazzmine Jackson no, not yet at least
Where can I buy the exact same barrel and trigger to drop in that At one stock
muddeast79 shilen for the barrel and E. Arthur Brown for the plate
I have the same rifle, what was the actual model number of stock from Boyds? I was told that they don't offer one for a Savage model 12FV.
Tom, yes they offer it for the 12, I own several. I don't know the specific model number, you'll have to walk though the Boyds site and enter in all your rifle information.
When is the Android version comming out?
Jake it’s something that we’ve been looking in to. I can’t make any promises but I know a ton of people who would like it..!
Great series of videos. I've subscribed to your videos plan on watching a bunch of them great learning and honest reviews that should help in putting together a quality rifle.
Question, have you used Brownells Alumnhyde II? I plan on using it soon and heard its very similar to duracoat. Just curious what your thoughts are.
Chad Purcell no I haven’t used that. But everything that I’ve used from Brownells has been good stuff..!

Now go out and buy more guns and ammo, and if you haven't, join the NRA and it's ILA, dammit.

Durability: Duracoat. Better than rattle can. Less good than Brownell's. Cerakote is quite the besr.
Can you pillar bed this stock ? I have been trying to decide if getting this stock for a savage 11 vt
Mark Hernandez yes, you can pillar bed this

Please call it a sling as I have been military also national competititor never herd that thing called a strap but a very well done
How much money is the coyote stock with the coyote symbol
Coyote stock is like $205 the laser engraving is $30ish I think. You can build it at boydsgunstocks.com
This is good for bench shooting but not very comfortable for hunting situations.
hey man instead of another Creedmoor build like everyone is doing. How about a 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum build to see what that rocket is capable of?
Cool Breeze I’m talking to a customer who might have me build one. I’ll know in a few weeks.!
THAT WOULD BE A 500 ROUNDS A BARREL RIFLE, NO??!! holly 🐮 😂😂
Great video but wow they have become caught up in ads
I’ve noticed that to, way more add playing these days.
Why the hell would you want to paint a beautiful stainless barrel...

Lmao brah that shit looks like a piece of unfinished wood 🪵 prolly like holding a fucking 4x2 board
