Just saw the posting from Boyd's that it was available today. I went and ordered two for my last two Axis builds.
Anyone else order yet? It said out of stock when I ordered, so I'm wondering if their waiting til they have the orders to make them, if the site's not updated, or if they already sold what they had.
Can't wait to get them!
I will be ordering one. I been waiting for them to release the tacticool stock.
will be possibly ordering one in the next month or so !!!!
I was gonna until I seen the barrel contour
Opening up the barrel channel should be pretty easy. I've done it with my Prairie hunter on my 308 Axis, and a few other stocks.
A dowel, socket, or pipe of the proper diameter, and some sand paper is all it takes. Well, that and a little time and elbow grease.

Yes sir..i did. I actually ordered one before they even posted that they would be available so im 100% positive that they were never IN STOCK as i had to be one of the first to order. Might just be finishing up the final details.
Placed my order on Friday 3/7. At the time it said out of stock. I love Boyds for listening to there customers. I have been asking and asking about that stock. And now its finally here!
Tried to reply to your PM, but your inbox is full.Quote:

I ordered a tacticool stock about 6 months ago for my Savage Model 11 (posted pictures right after the install). It only comes with a cavity for a blind magazine so I built one using parts from the detachable mag that came with my original Trophy Hunter. I believe I ordered the varmint barrel contour and it fits my EABCO .260 barrel like a glove. I installed a Karsten cheek rest and I plan to sink a rail into the forend so I can either attach a swivel stud, a bipod or leave it bare for shooting from a front rest. Pacific Tool and Gauge is coming out with new bottom metal for Savage short action and they even have a version that accommodates the bolt release that is just forward of the trigger. If I get it in gear to set up a sled for my router, I might be able to do a decent job of cutting an inlet for the PTG bottom metal and AIS box magazine.
I'm ordering one Monday for a HB .308 build
Just an update - starting later today/this afternoon all Boyds' TactiCools can be ordered in laminate or Walnut.

Thanks!
Still working on updating the site :-)

Very cool!
Now I have to see about changing my order.
Decided to stick with the textured black finish on both of these (will probably get a different laminate for a 110 build), and they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow!
Well post up some pics as mine isnt scheduled to arrive until thrursday. The suspense is killing me..lol
I'm ready to buy a laminate Tacticool for my lefty FLV 12 in .223. Probably a stoopid question but I'll ask anyways: could I get it checkered?? I didn't see an option for it.Quote:

Unfortunately at this time we do not have any checkering options for the TactiCool models, we are adding new options weekly and I will be sure to let Engineering/Design know that this would be a good option to add!!

Unfortunately we are not equipped for this type of custom option (altering a standard shape) at this time. However we are working on several new shapes/designs and I will be sure to let our design team know that this should be an option! Thanks for the inquiry!

What's that last pic?
i found getting a 3/4" peice of pvc and some sticky back sandpaper makes short work of opening up a barrel channel
I am waiting for the left hand stock with right hand option on a thumb hole stock. Boyds makes right and left stocks but not with different action sides yet. as a left hand shooter with right action i prefer a thumb hole stock to help hold rifle while off hand shooting as its the right hand that comes off stock to operate bolt leaving left to balance gun. with thumb hole stock this makes it a lot easier. you can counter weight of gun with top of left hand. while pulling it tight is easier also . if you are waiting for left stock with right action sound off . ps this is for axis stock
Kingdom, I'm a lefty as well. I'm running into something similar with my Rem 700 that has a detach mag. I wish it was a blind mag. Now, for my FLV12, I had to convert it from a blind mag to DM for the tacticool..
Elgin, how much do these each weigh ? Thanks . GaryQuote:

Your thoughts on using them for the Model 11-VT (24" 308)?
Both weigh right about 9.5lbs on my shipping scale, as shown in the pics. My Axis in the prairie hunter stock weighs 10.5 with the scope.
I have the Savage 11VT (Dick's Sporting Goods Special) with the plastic bottom metal and bottom bolt release. The Mag 'spring' is integrated into the magazine itself. Will the tacticool work? Will I need to buy different bottom metal parts? Here's what the mag area looks like:

So my Tacticool arrived today for my lefty FLV 12 in .223. Its got the varmint barrel from the factory. I ordered the Tacticool with factory barrel. The barrel channel is over an eighth inch to skinny. Guess I neededto order a bull barrel version - but Boyds doesn't offer it in lefty.
All I have to do is get a large dowel or socket with some good sandpaper and open the barrel channel up?
Other than that, the new bottom metal fit perfectly.
