Regardless, I’d restock it with a Boyd’s or similar and bed it.

I know how google works. The question was “should I”

So Boyd’s can do a stock for the Pro Hunter but I can’t get it here as it goes over $100USD. Any ideas in how to get one of these Boyd’s stocks guys?

Cleavers sells a load of Boyd’s stocks so they could order you one I suppose

It's a shame the price point had to change enough that they won't export them...

Only option now is a LGS that will order them in but, expect to pay a lot more.

G'day all,
this might offer some suggestions, but stock flex is something I prefer to minimize.
