Got it in today, overall not bad for a $80 stock. Never fired it since it was cut and threaded. Should be able to harass the local varmints with some 17 V-Maxs.
Yep its laminate, you can see it in a few spots in the inletted portion. ordered some stencils, have to spray it next weekend. Thinking a Brown, Black , FDE, scheme. Hope it shoots good after all the waiting. I have never fired it!
Glocker17, does your 17 HMR have the barrel lug or is the action secured with two screws? Trying to determine if the 452 Varmint in .22 will work with the Tacticool stock (has single action screw and barrel lug). The images of the inletting on Boyd's site appear to accommodate the barrel lug, but their compatibility description is incomplete.

Yup, realize that... here was my attempt on my 10/22 Tacticool from the first release... there are a lot of curves to try to stencil around!
I dropped my american in a tacticool today. Had to drill a hole for the rear bolt and then bore a hole for the lug thingy, but it was a 10 minute job and fits stellar.
i couldn't wait for my OD color to come in, so i called and changed my order for a "in stock" sand. I should be getting mine in this monday for my grandson's savage 93 17 hmr. I'll post a pick when i get'er mounted.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: marctolate</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Damn, I ordered a black one! Than I have to repaint it
The color seems to be a different than the 10/22, isn't it? </div></div>
Not trying to hijack this thread but..
I havent seen the 10/22 version so I cant say, but from most the pics ive seen where it looks really light, it is in harsh sunlight or flash photo, so it seems much lighter than to the naked eye. In more natural lighting it looks darker, like in the photo I posted. That being said, it is pretty light to be considered "OD" and next to my OD AICS its not only lighter, but much cooler in hue. id def consider it more of a magpul foliage green. Im happy with it tho. At the range today it looked very nice.
Got mine today. I'm very pleased with the stock. Now make it fit my 453 Varmint. I'll post some pics tomorrow of the stock and the difference between the inlet 452/453.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: XTR</div><div class="ubbcode-body">marctolate, PM sent to you, same here. Looking for pictures of your modifications to fit the 453V action in the tacticool stock. </div></div>
Same here do you have any pics of the modification that were done to the inside of the stock?
Mine is a 452 varmint.....cut to 16.5 and threaded. I dropped it into a tan tacticool and fitted a Rifle Basix trigger. DIP slanted base and Weaver 3-10x40 mil/mil.....it's the rifle I shoot the most!
I wish that they would just make a tacticool in a 453 already. I can do the work, but I don't like having to spend 100 on a stock the start hacking on it to make it fit.
This looks like the way to go for a trainer . Im liking the looks of the new CZ 22 lr in that Manners stock , but not available yet and 800 bucks ... Gulp
You have got to be shitting me. Why wasnt this posted a couple months ago!!!! They look great, especially for the moola. The Manners I ordered better blow this thing away!!!!
I saw the new CZ Precision Trainer but prefer the 453s over the 452/455. So I have a Manners' stock on order and the 453 22LR Varmint disassembled to send the barrel for threading. I'm just waiting for the modified bolt handle (tactical knob) and the DIP trigger guard to be delivered so all can be matte blued/blacked.
I have the Savage TRR-SR but not quite happy with the quality. It shoots well, but it's just ain't the same as the CZ (personal prejudice).
