Haven't been on this forum for quite some time, but when I read this thread, it prompted me to log-in so I could reply. I bought a Boyds Prairie Hunter in royal jacaronda laminate to use on a Mini that I'd re-barreled to 22 Grendel, got it bedded, and shot with it a bit, then decided that I didn't care for the rather open radius pistol grip, so pulled the bbl'd action out and bedded it into a B&C M40 style stock, which I prefer to the Boyds. So, the Boyds is surplus to my needs. Next time I have time, I'll post a for sale thread in the classifieds.
After using a couple of B&C M40 style stocks on a 6.5 Grendel that I re-barreled with a Bartlein 1-8tw bbl in Remington Magnum Sporter contour bbl, and as mentioned, the 22 grendel, I decided to try the newer B&C Sporter for a Mini in 223AI that I barreled with a Krieger #4 sporter contour. 1-8tw bbl, finished at 24". It's got a very slightly more open radius pistol grip, but is comfortable, and I like the slimmer forearm. I did have to sand the bbl channel slightly larger to hold the #4 bbl, but it was pretty quick and easy, and I'm happy with it.
