Boyd's AT-One Stock

[MachoKing]

Last night I was just cruising the interwebz, looking at different stocks on Stockys and decided to check out Boyd's. Low and behold, they released a fully adjustable rifle stock and it's only $180. I know laminate is heavy, I have two rifles in thumbhole laminates, but this stock looks like it could fit the bill for a lot of people and not break the bank.

I personally think it's kind of sexy. I read a bunch of reviews and most were overwhelmingly positive. I've only purchased one Boyd's but it was a direct drop in for my wife's Savage, and of very good quality. I'm seriously considering this stock for my T3 Hunter as I would like to have an adjustable cheek riser. As it is, with Talley low rings and a Bushy LRHS I am not able to get a solid cheek weld.

I put one on my kiddos T3X, we both like it. The cheek rest is not as solid as a Manners or like with the adjustable. But not the same price either. I would buy another one if it came down to it

I got one for my Tikka CTR. Yes, it improved my groups, but I also bedded it. I'm sure that helps too.

IMO, this stock is just okay. Even with the target-style grip, the angles and sharp edges along the top of the stock are uncomfortable for me. This is a rifle stock, not a goddamn stealth fighter. The hunter-style grip is almost unusable. It quite literally feels like a piece of 2x4 lumber. And for some reason, the target grip (shown below) locates my hand very far back from the trigger. I can barely get my first finger joint on the trigger, and I have large hands.

The adjustable cheek and butt pad are okay, but far from smooth and easy to operate. It is basically a spring-tension button that jams into grooves on the sliding shaft. This is what holds the position. Clever I suppose, but you can easily see why this is a sub $200 stock. And my cheek piece also gets stuck and jammed if I actually try to run it in the complete downward position.

I also have the Pro Varminter with an adjustable cheek that's a $60 upgrade. Much, much nicer feel. If I had to do it again, I'd get another Pro Varminter with adjustable cheek. And as you guys know, Boyd's also sells custom LOP stocks, so why not just buy the Pro Varminter with the correct LOP? Really no reason to have an adjustment at the butt pad.

Just IMO, but Pro-Varminter > At-One

You do make some good points, having not held one I obviously don't really know how it fits. I am looking at the varminter and I am not sure it will fit the bill. This will be for a hunting rifle, and for offhand shots. I do really like the blaze finish though, I did the royal last time. What's the weight difference between the two?

Massive thread necromancy here but I’ll give it a go..
How did you get you cheek riser unstuck from the low position? I’ve got one on a Howa I’m about to move on and as I was giving it a once over before I list it I notice it’s stuck fast.

LOL! A blast from the past!

Obviously you'll need to loosen the screw. Maybe even take it out of the hole. It's a wedge design down inside a hollow tube in the buttstock. My other observation is that it is made of carbon steel, so you might consider a shot of WD-40 or other penetrating lubricant. It may have a bit of surface rust on it from some temperature-change condensation. You'll figure it out

I have had great accuracy with Boyds tacticool stocks:
1) 223 in sav 110 with aluminum pillars I made
2) 7mmRM in Rem 700 with Whidden aluminum V block I bought.
3) 6.5-06 in DuMoulin Mauser with long Aluminum bedding block I made.

Smallest groups ever with 223.
Other 2 rifles killed deer beyond 600 yards.
