Stock is a reject from manufacturer - Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks Prairie Hunter Savage Axis Detachable Short Action Rifle Stock

I bought a Boyds stock from Optics because the manufacturer was out of inventory. When you read the info about Boyd stocks they tell you the stock will have flaws in the wood. The one I bought wood make better fire wood. I was looking for a better than plastic stock for my Savage axis II. I wasn't looking for a perfect stock in a field rifle but, this is a real reject. It looks like when they put the finish on it they missed a few spots sanding and the clear coat streaked at color transitions. Very poor quality control or OEM shipped it to secondary supplier. I would highly recommend to wait for Boyd to build one if not in their stock. I might sand it and paint it black to hide the ugly.
