I mention this because, as far as I’m concerned-when I’m the one doing the shooting-group variances of under ¼ inch are inconsequential I’m just not good enough to call a measurement “definitive” that’s that small or smaller. Regardless of how precise a rifle shoots, if I shoot a group smaller than ½ inch, celebration is in order. With a really good-shooting rifle, I can occasionally shoot groups measuring as small as ½ inch. All three of the Boyds Spike Camp stocks were installed and tested from the bench-right at the range.īefore we get into the actual shooting results with the Boyds stocks, we need to establish a practical fact: When it comes to the measurement and comparison of little groups, the shooter’s skill level is a prime consideration. The factory Remington-barreled action in the AG Composite stock shot really well, averaging 0.69-inch for three, three-shot groups.

However, unlike most accuracy or precision tests, I fired these rounds quickly-nine shots in 150 seconds-because I wanted to see how the stock would respond to a hot barrel. With the current AG Composite stock on the rifle, and with the help of a Nightforce ATACR riflescope and several boxes of Federal Premium 168-grain Sierra MatchKing ammunition, I fired three, three-shot groups at 100 yards from a sandbag rest. Prior to testing, I wanted to establish a baseline for precision with the rifle. Other than color differences, all three stocks were identical, including the aluminum pillars. I didn’t request any particular color and ended up with one of each of a Coyote laminate, a Forest Camo laminate and a Zombie Hunter laminate. Front and rear aluminum bedding pillars are available for an additional $55, bringing the total cost to about $170.īoyds sent me three Spike Camp stocks to fit a Remington 700 SPS tactical AAC-SD. There are 14 color options available, and sling swivel studs are included as standard.

The forend is relieved enough for the barrel to free float. It’s a thumbhole design with a low Monte Carlo negative drop comb. The Spike Camp is about 29 inches long and weighs approximately 2.5 pounds. The total time to fire all three groups with each stock is listed under the “Time” column. Notes: Three three-shot groups were fired with each rifle stock using the Federal Premium 168-grain Sierra MatchKing load. Before a stock is completed, it’ll also pass through the hands of more than 20 people to ensure strict quality-control standards are met. It’s made of American-sourced hardwoods, it’s laminated, and then, it’s passed through multiple CNC processes. In a world of gadgets and adjustable features, the Boyds Spike Camp stock was designed to be an essentials-only stock, costing right at $100. How-To: Properly Mounting a Scope on a Rifle.
