Has anyone had any experience with Boyd's wood stocks for the Encore rifle? How did you like them if you have?

Good quality. Not a high end custom, but well worth the money. I've also purchased aftermarket laminate thumbhole stocks from Stockys Stocks. They sold Boyd's for a while, but now carry another brand. I'd buy either again.
All the best,
Glenn

If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

Like Glenn, I've had a couple of sets of each and they look and feel good. Would buy again if they pop up at the right price.
Good Question.

The barter system is alive and well, but the learning curve can be painful.

I have never owned a Boyds stock for an Encore or Contender but do have on on a Ruger model 77 tang safety. Very pleased with it. Good workmanship and everything I could ask for except the Ruger grip cover with the R on the pistol grip end.

Thanks much! I ordered a set. I ordered a set with thumb hole stock. I've been wanting a wood set for awhile but never could make myself turn loose that much money for stocks. These were a great price so I thought I would try them. It really surprised me the thumb hole stock was cheaper than the regular stock.

I just purchased and installed the boyds thumbhole stock on my encore. I love it! It fit perfectly without any mods and pulls up very nice. I would never hesitate to buy another stock from boyds.

Been happy with my buys, may need to remove a little wood for a better fit, but would buy from them again.
T/C drop in, 10/22 removed a little wood, M1 Garand removed a little wood.
