Old thread but it needs to be said that currently Boyds lead time is OVER 60 days (I have been waiting that long) and MANY complaints about poor customer service.
I also am not seeing ANY other makes of airgun stocks at all on their site.

Edit 07August2016: Boyd's has now missed their promised date of the end of July for my stock as it has not yet been listed as completed or shipped. They have, however, added the Discovery in the list of available stocks.

Edit: 15 Aug 2016 Tracking number received......Order was placed 06 Jun 2016.

Received my stock in Forest Camo Laminate Thumbhole after only a 72 day wait. I just don't know where you can find that kind of quick service! :p

It is nice but has some rough edges that will need sanding and the butt pad looks like it was loaded with residue from a wet sanding process.

All in all though it is WAY nicer than a factory SynRod Stock! :)

Edit: I saved the pics of the first Boyds I got from plinker and it is a totally different stock than the one I received. I LIKED it a lot and this new design is severely lacking in several areas compared to the older version......namely this one has no provision to shoot thumb up and the Cheek weld is more of a lower jaw weld. The original was also shorter and lighter. Viewed from the top down the Current offering's Butt section has all the beauty of a laminated 2X4 viewed edge on! Shame on you Boyds!!! :( 

Edit 30 Aug 2016: Turns out the stock I got from Plinker was an uninleted Boyd's Blaster stock FOR the Marauder Gen II. I have ask Boyd's if they can produce this style stock for the Marauder because it BEATS their current offering in all aspects BUT Boyd's knows best or so they think and I have had to order one to inlet myself since it seems too great a task for them to accomplish! As I said before......Shame on you Boyd's!!!!!!!! Sooner than later your inflexibility to customer wishes WILL be your undoing!! :(

Sometimes I think I might be an idiot (at least a glutton for punishment). I ordered an un-inleted Boyds Blaster Stock 2 weeks ago. It never showed on my order page. I inquired 2 weeks ago about it and they said because I used a different name (my business) even though it was the same customer number that it did not show up initially but assured me they had the order in the que. I contacted Boyds a day or 2 ago to see what the progress was and got a reply saying my order had fallen through the cracks due to an ordering system glitch but they would start it right away and make it a priority. You would think I would learn after waiting 72 days for the first stock but nooooo............. :p
