Temptation - New Savage BMAG 17WSM

[Bradical]

A local shop near me has several in stock. Their "special" is asking $263.00. With taxes and fees that's $304.00.

But, that awful cheap plastic stock is such a turn off. However, I have checked Boyd's and they are making several options for the BMAG. My interest would be in a classic sport style stock. Even if I sprung for high end walnut, bringing the Boyd's Classic to $350.95, I could be into it for less than Ruger's offering.

Has anyone bought a Boyd's stock for their BMAG?

Mine is in a laminated thumbhole stock, but it came that way. You definitely want a heavy barrel one with a K or later prefix in the serial number.

The rifles offered at $265 all had thin barrels. They also had the heavy barreled versions with laminated thumbhole stocks. I'm just not interested in lugging one of those around.

Will non-heavy barreled versions have the "K" designation in the seriel number?

I put mine in a Boyds rim fire hunter and bedded it with JB weld. She's a shooter but I sure with the bolt wasn't so sloppy or waked my scope.
