Boyds' was very decent about the whole thing, and the stock has gone back to them. They seem like decent enough people, but I gather that it's not the most organized shop on the planet.
The gun just isn't going to be ready to hunt this fall. It's not like I don't have alternatives, but I did have a particular hunt in mind for it.
In the original, I opted for semi-fancy wood, and it really is a grade up from straight grain. I sprung another $30 to move up to X grade, as long as we were doing a re-do.
