Thread: "Feather in my hat" 308win Featherweight load development

As it happens my featherweight came with a Boyds laminate thumb hole stock.
I just can't gel with the look and feel of the thumb hole stock so the first thing I did was put the action back in the original stock.
As a last resort I will try the boyds stock but I suspect it won't make any diffence.
I suspect I now know why it was for sale in the first place.
