Welcome to part four of our epic series, where we are taking a simple varmint
rifle - the Savage 12 FV - and we are tricking it out to be a real long-range
monster of a rifle. We want this to be a precision rifle we can use in a bunch of
different ways - for maybe some medium to long range hunting - and then we're going
to test this at a mile, just be able to hit a large steel gong out at a mile.
This is a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. We've talked about its specs. But what we're
going to talk about now is the number one part that I would swap out on any of
these kind of simple entry-level varmint or tactical style rifles and that's
going to be the stock this is of course not the stock that came on it this is a
Boyd's At One and we're going to discuss why we went with this stock but the the
one that's going to come on most of your rifles is going to look a lot like this
this is going to be on your Tikka's and you're Rugers and all kinds of things
this is going to be a very common stock shape it doesn't look much different
from anything that you're gonna have on your hunting style rifles and that can
be a real problem with a rifle that's set up like this with a big heavy barrel
we'll delve into that here in a second I'm Kyle Broderick welcome to The Social
Regressive I want to thank first of all the people that are making this possible
thank you patrons of the destructive arts Peter and the Sportsman's Guide at
the 300 Win Mag and the 338 Lapua Magnum levels and yeah thank you to all the the
various folks that might have donated some of the gear that's on here the
patreon supporters bought everything else if anybody else wants to chip in a
buck or two a month to keep videos like this coming I'll put the link to Patreon
down here so now let's jump in and let's talk about the deficiencies of these
plastic stocks that come on modern rifles there are actually some really
good things about these first off they are going to be ambidextrous you can see
just by looking on a kind of top level here there's nothing cast off set off to
one side versus one of the the other sides so this is going to be a righty or
a lefty stock you know usually with a stock like this if you if they make a
lefty model like Savage usually does they just they make a cutout on the
other side and there you have the leftie model easy to work with and
actually some of these newer ones they have a pretty decent forearm swell you
can see right here and some of them are gonna have a little bit of pumps well
through the grip right here this one does not this is a very simple thin grip
and one of the biggest reasons well they're gonna be a couple reasons why
you want to swap out one of these plastic stocks the first one is going to
be the construction itself what this is made of in general these are not going
to be particularly taut these are not going to be of very strong so when you
place them on a bipod which is of course what we're gonna do with a big heavy
rifle like this this is not one that we're going to you know shoot offhand
with at least not very often I've had to do it a couple times out varmint ink
just because that's the only shot I could get and I'll tell you that was a
close range I was like 75 yards I didn't want to take a standing shot any further
than that but yeah for the most part we're gonna be shooting these prone off
a bag off a rest something like that and in a lot of cases with a plastic stock
like this upward pressure is going to cause some kind of it's it's just gonna
flex through here something is going to shift and it can throw off not just your
point of aim a little bit sometimes it can actually just open up those groups
overall the worst example of this is the old Stevens 200 that I had the original
plastic stock that came on that one would actually open up groups all of a
sudden it would shoot you know like a half-inch group at a hundred yards and
then suddenly it would open it up to six inches or a foot just with no warning at
all and it all came down to the stock once I swapped it everything was great
and in some ways that's actually the rifle that I turned into that axis
project rifle I actually swapped the barrel over to that some of the other
deficiencies in a stock like this it is going to come down to comfort the first
off the comb is going to be very low on these that the cheek piece right here if
if you're actually looking through a scope you can see that this one's
mounted a little hi I am gonna reduce it a bit but even
mounted as low as it can go down on top of that receiver I'm gonna have more of
a chin weld on this comb right here than a good cheek weld I want it to sit nice
and flush against this side of my face push just a little bit up into my cheek
bone right here that's my ideal sort of setup and this is going to probably sit
just right down here not very good for repeatability if I need to get back on a
quick shot and just not very comfortable overall it's not very stable the biggest
reason why I think that you might want to swap the stock because actually the
savage 12 FV in this case this stock is actually quite nice it I'm not sure if
it has fibreglass running through it or what but they have done some work to
reinforce this stock and it does not feel very flexible at all this feels
very rigid and I think they would actually do a great job in here this is
actually steel pillar bedded so you should get good accuracy out of it as
well I really think that this stock as far as accuracy goes is going to work
just fine maybe not with all the rifles that you guys have you'll have to kind
of get your own mileage on these go out and check the forums and see what we
will think of their original stocks but the biggest reason to swap this out is
going to be this grip right here if you are down in the prone position this is
going to be a torture device I've mentioned this a couple of different
times when talking about different rifles that are set up for prone if you
have a hunter style grip that's designed to be shot off hand where you're kind of
leaning into a rifle yeah this is very comfortable for that it works just fine
nice and slim but then if you are down on the ground trying to rest your elbow
it means that your wrist is at just a terrible terrible angle so we need to
start looking at something else the last issue that you guys might want to think
about when you're swapping your stock is going to be the magazine the magazine
inside the twelve FV is a blind magazine it's a little four rounder
I believe with your your 308 and your 6.5 Creedmoor and this right here can be
a bit of a pain in the neck when you're out doing certain styles of shooting if
you are just a target shooter maybe that blind mag is going to work just fine but
for the rest of us that maybe we're gonna be shooting prairie dogs we're
gonna be maybe doing coyote hunting or something where we need to be able to
get rounds in there really quickly one after the other
once you've tapped out that magazine you're either single feeding really
quickly or trying to jam rounds really quickly down inside this magazine
sometimes that doesn't work out well as I know in my own testing so we're gonna
take a look at some stocks that can address all of these issues beginning
with the Boyd's at one right here we are going to test two after market stocks on
this rifle and you can see them both right here first off you guys are
probably already familiar with the Boyd's at one especially if you're
subscribed to my channel already I have done a full review on the Boyd's at one
and it is a wonderful stock both for offhand shooting and for prone since
this is going to be a prone rifle with its massive heavy barrel we are not
going to be using those swept-back hunter grips that you can swap out right
here we're going to stick with these vertical panels the vertical panels you
see right here are an extra expense go ahead and add these to your cart if you
do buy and at one some of the other parts you can swap out are going to be
the front the kind of forearm panel right here you can get more of a beaver
tail shape up here at kind of a semi beaver tail that flares out very
comfortable for off hand if you're going prone I don't know if it's gonna really
matter much the maybe you want that beaver tail for its wider base if you're
gonna run off a bag or something but this should do just fine if you're just
running off a bipod moving a little further back we have some adjustable
parts first off we do have a push button swivel that's included and that's pretty
cool and there's a socket for these on both sides of the stock pretty cool
moving a little further back here is the cheek piece this has kind of a
rubberized texture to it quite comfortable shooting outdoor
in the Sun and all that even though it's black this one does not burn the face
I've been quite fond of that so you just push this button and you can drop it
down push it up this does have quite a bit of extension but one thing that I've
noticed here I had my scope mounted just a little too high I had the wrong rings
I'm gonna bring these down to some lows but I couldn't quite get optimal cheek
weld and look through the scope at the same time in this case once I get the
lows put on there it's gonna be fine at the very back we have the adjustable
butt pad back here this is gonna get you an extra one and a half inches of space
and it has a very nice squishy rubber butt pad on the back that's not sticky
or anything it shouldn't really hang up on your clothing and it has kind of a
some rubberized or some kind of rounded edges back in here so it does fit very
neatly into the shoulder this is straight up and down but there are some
extra pieces that we can work with from Boyd's they do have an extended butt pad
that you can get and they also have an intermediate piece you can put in here
that allows you to can't the butt pad to fit it a little better into your
shoulder and we're gonna take a look at that on the next stock down here now if
you do get a Boyd's out one you have a couple of different options first off
make sure that the barrel channel is going to be correct for you make sure
that it's a varmint profile barrel channel cut in here make sure that if
you are going to add bottom metal that you get it in letted for that if you
want to stick with your original blind magazine I just go ahead and leave it as
is and yeah you will probably need to get that an extra trigger guard here
because the savage 12 FV includes some kind of funky trigger guards some
of them have a little hook that won't actually go into this Inlet right here
if you do get an at one go ahead and get the the Boyd's trigger guard I think
you'll be very happy with how it works out
it can be kind of frustrating if you get the wrong one the laminate color you see
here is the coyote laminate I quite like this one it's a little bit rakish a
little stylish but it's still going to blend in pretty well if I'm out do
varmint Inge and I don't want the animals to really see my rifle all that
well this does have some camouflage to it they have a bunch of different colors
though if you want your rifle to stand out or if you want it to blend in you
have some forest camos and things like that or you can get things that look
like Yellowjackets you can make as crazy or as subdued a rifle as you want some
other boyd's shapes that you might consider might be the thumb hole this is
one that's kind of a hybrid between offhand and prone I think that it's not
quite dedicated enough that you know for a rifle like this it's probably not
going to work all that well some people like them but I think that it's probably
not going to be exactly right I would take a look instead at the pro
varmint that's one that it has a little bit of a lower comb and you might want
to go ahead and opt for the extra cheek riser that you can get on that but it
does have a very good vertical grip it has a good shape overall and should be
great for prone the other stock that we'll be testing is this crazy-looking
one this is one of the strangest looking stocks on the market this is the GRS by
Frost this is kind of a next evolution of
their berserk the berserk is a very excellent rifle stock that I've
previously reviewed I'll put a link to that review around here it has all kinds
of really neat trick parts and it's obvious that they just kind of threw out
everything that you know about a gun stock went right back to what people
actually need and then put them all in one stock with some just nutty ideas
take a look at this first off you have the grip this is the most extreme part
about the whole stock you can see that it does not actually line up with the
center axis of the stock it's actually offset and it's at an angle this is
totally unique in the industry there are some that will get some offset but to be
able to get both offset and can't in a grip just straight from the factory or
whatever this is something that I have not seen anywhere else you can see that
you have some thumb grooves right here a great big rubber panel for traction
and then you have this guide leading your finger all the way in to where the
trigger is you get a little bit of a shelf back
here you can run your thumb all the way around the back of the stock and this is
how I like it if you want you can put your thumb up against the side but this
is one that's very good for getting full control which is something that I really
love when I'm out Varman ting I want to be able to really control the rifle hold
it much like a pistol and it just seems to work out a lot better for me when
you're at the range it works out well - you know maybe you ride your thumb along
the side but there are plenty of times where you're just in an uncomfortable
position and you're trying to kind of maintain control over the gun and it's
nice to be able to kind of wrap a thumb around get a good strong grip on it up
front the rifle comes with two QD sockets and one push-button swivel you
can swap to whichever side you want on the underside you have a regular swivel
stud right here and the rifle actually comes with a little Picatinny panel that
you can put on the side here on the bottom or on the other side these little
black things that you see right here these are little rubber sockets these
are protecting the threaded areas for that little Picatinny panel and you can
just pull these out if you want to swap these around adding to some of the
interesting features of this rifle right up front you can see that there is a
little black dot right here you can also remove this and this is going to accept
the spigot for some of the accuracy international or other kind of
highfalutin bipod adapters you can get out there these are ones that are going
to can't really well and they're going to sit a little bit higher up on the
axis then you're typically going to get with a bipod that sits a little further
back over here now this is also something that I'm speculating after I
pulled this little socket out I could see through here that this is not all
one piece this rifle stock is actually in several pieces and I suspect that
this is from modularity think they're going to be able to swap
out different parts in here and we'll see eventually why they might do that
but this is actually bolted together right back here there's a there's a
channel running all the way through here to bolt this stock together let's take a
look at the channel the channel is quite large this is going to work out just
fine for our varmint barrel there's plenty of room you could probably get a
full bull barrel in there without having to modify this in any way the material
that you see this comes in two colors you have tan and green and this is a
fiberglass reinforced polymer and they say that this is actually more rigid
while being lighter than the wonderful berserk that I reviewed last year you
can see that there are some differences here in the the top Inlet okay here's
where the recoil lug goes this is right now they have this set up for tikka the
tikka t3 and for savage the 12 the 16 the 10 I guess and you can see there
right here the holes drilled in here instead of having any kind of steel
pillars it just goes right through the material and right back here there's no
room to actually put steel pillars if you want to put these in later however
they're saying that it is not necessary that this material is so rigid that it
should be working just fine you don't need to put in any pillars at all and
we're gonna put that to the test we'll see how this does so when might you want
to choose one stock over the other let's talk about price first the one at the
back the Boyd's at one cost a hundred ninety bucks which makes it a steel in
the market this for the base model with whatever Inlet you want
and with those adjustable parts at the back one hundred ninety dollars and some
odd cents it really is an amazing price for an amazing piece of hardware
by contrast the g RS front costs probably about I think it's about 750
for this stock as you see it right here and this is going to have all the bells
and whistles already applied now if you do want to trick out the Boyd's at one
so that it includes the canting butt pad or some extra space
at the back you want to get a little bit longer length of pull then you can
probably get that up to probably about 350 bucks for those parts to include
right there and then you have you know the twelve bucks or whatever for the
vertical panels you see hanging out right back there so yeah this one does
come a bit more you know squared away with some of those extra bits just right
out of the out of the box and then the at one you might have to add a couple
things if you just want to get that extreme edge of performance but yeah
there is a pretty good gap in price there as far as weight goes the GRS is
going to weigh less laminate while it is very rigid and very pretty is also a
little bit on the heavy side I have spent lots of time with both rifle
stocks and I've come to love both of them if I can make a clear distinction
between the two that Boyd's at one is going to be the better bargain and it's
going to have all kinds of zany colors that you can choose to personalize
yourself well the GRS is going to be the most
comfortable stock that you can buy I have not tested anything else that feels
this good and here's where I should throw in a note from em read out in
Ireland mrad outdoors he thought the berserk had just a little
bit of a too large of a grip too big of a swell for folks with a little bit
smaller hands and I can second that I have rather large hands myself so this
feels excellent for me but there might be some of you if you do have smaller
hands maybe you want to go for the Boyd's instead it has a little bit of a
thinner grip back there whereas this one even with the spacing between the
fingers right here this is set up for somebody that maybe has a little bit
larger hands like I mentioned at the beginning of the video if you do swap
one part on your rifle I recommend that you do the stock this is going to pay
big dividends in the end you're going to get more accuracy out of your rifle
you're going to get more flexibility with the magazines and then mostly
you're gonna get better comfort back here and that is going to it's really
gonna pay off big-time especially as you're spending more and more time
out at the range or out in the field having that vertical grip having that
higher cheek piece or an adjustable cheek piece getting the right length of
pull it really makes a huge difference in how comfortable you are taking that
shot and you know for example you might actually end up kind of shaking if
things are getting worn out or tired like my wrists would get out prairie dog
hunting a better stock is going to make things work much better overall thanks
