I think you pay extra for pillars $50 or so. Let me know if you pull it apart.suddenly I want to pull the Boyds ADL thumb hole stock off of my beater .270 and see if it has pillars

I didn't realize I was being critical. I thought a saw what was perceived to be a possible issue and mentioned a possible solution
I didnt want to get carried away with criticism of the OPs pretty new stock but pillars are almost mandatory on the Boyds laminate material
Not you man. You said what needed to be said. My initial response was pretty long and before posting I reworded it significantly and I didnt want to come off as overly critical on someone elses new stock.I didn't realize I was being critical.

can shoot eyes @ 100 with it...might not come apart soonLet me know if you pull it apart.
Wouldnt forego a range session. Plenty of time for pillars later if it doesnt shoot or if the escusheons start pulling in.I was responding to @bighonkinjeep - just saying if I need to get pillars going now id rather hear it from y’all before wasting range time
I’d rather get good tips from you and @Jester896 than going down the wrong path! No offense taken at all.Not you man. You said what needed to be said.

Maybe to the point of sidestepping the known weak point and the best solution in favor of a warning about watching for over torque.
Pretty stock! What is the weight of it vs factory?Went ahead and picked up a Boyd’s Prairie Hunter stock to replace my Tupperware stock on a 111 in 25-06.
Bought the rifle in 2007 for antelope and it was my first new (off the shelf) rifle I owned. Until then I was perfectly happy with my inherited 35 Rem and 7 RM. But I moved west for work and thought that 25-06 would be a good addition.
I probably shot a dozen antelope and half dozen mule deer with it using factory Hornady 117 SSTs and a VX1 4-12x40. Now I have several other rifles that I’m pretty fond of but this one shoots great and has a special place in my mind from the hunts.
I decided to try out a Boyd’s - seems like there are mixed reviews so I suppose we’ll see. Also wanted to swap out the last of my Leupolds after a catastrophic failure of a VXIII on a hunt.
The swap was really straightforward and the rifle looks pretty sweet. As much as I hate to say it, the DNZ mount I have won’t fit the new Trijicon Huron I was intending on using. I put the Leupold back on there for now but will need to pick up a rail/ring system with more flexibility (the DNZ won’t let me slide the Huron back about the 2 mm I needed to!).
Pictures attached - will update after some range time following hunting season.

Very true… basketball at 10am but I’d hate to hit the range if I can sneak in a morning hunt! Think someone shot the buck I was looking for though.remind me again what time the game comes on...I think you could sneak to the range that morning
