Boyd's stocks are well worth it, and less expensive than many others.
Quality is darn fine!!

It will be worth your time to take it to a gunsmith and pay him $50-75 to have it bedded into a new stock...
I'm flat running away from telling new gun owners with little experience in repair to do a bedding job themselves,
as there is ONE huge thing that non-woodworkers/non-gunsmiths tend to mess up...which is called following directions...LOL

If you ain't already a skilled woodworker, take it to a PRO, see how it looks when DONE RIGHT...
then you have something to refer back to if you decide to do a rifle yourself!!
THEN try your hand bedding a few cheap .22's before messing around with expensive/potentially-dangerous-if-done-wrong centerfires.
