Why Hardwood

Hardwood outperforms ordinary composite stocks

Like every Boyds gunstock, the Quest is constructed of top-grade laminated hardwood that's dried to exacting specifications to ensure rigidity and stability. It’s also sealed with chemical-resistant finishes for long-lasting durability in all weather conditions.

HARDWOOD ONLY At Boyds we use only top-grade hardwoods, because a hardwood stock performs! Every stock is dried to exacting specifications to ensure rigidity and stability, then sealed with chemical-resistant finishes for long-lasting durability and performance in all weather conditions.

ENHANCED ACCURACY

Boyds stocks are engineered to perfectly fit the gun. They’re tight where they need to be tight, loose where they need to be loose for superior performance and improved accuracy you can measure.

SINCE 1981

Our engineers have continued to perfect manufacturing methods since 1981. That’s why you get far more gunstock for the money.

Frequently ASKED Questions

Answers to your questions about QUEST Gunstocks

Here are the answers to the questions we commonly get regarding the Quest Gunstock.

Q: What is the overall shape of an Quest gunstock?

A: While not the customary “traditional” styled gunstock, it’s designed to be ergonomic and lightweight. The Quest gunstock is a ambidextrous thumbhole with tactical aesthetics. The lower buttstock has a shooting bag cutout and the forend features diagonal cut cooling vents. This shape has a short Monte Carlo comb. 

Q: What is the wood?

A: Quest stocks are made of hardwood veneers and solid Walnut.

Q: In what colors are they available?

A: Apple Jack, Black Jack, Blaze, Coyote, Forest Camo, Nutmeg, Pepper, Royal Jacaranda, Royal, Sky, Hornet, Zombie Hunter, Maroon, Shady Camo, and standard Walnut. 

Q: What is the finish and how do I care for it?

A: There only one finish available; a satin finish. Our finishes are known for extreme durability and ability to resist not only water, but chemicals as well. Wood stocks can be dressed with high-quality wood finish products.

Q: How do I maintain my Quest stock?

A: Remove debris with a soft-bristled brush, and warm soapy water used sparingly. Dry immediately. Use a light film of good quality gun oil on metal components. Plastic and over-molded components may be dressed with a good-quality plastic and rubber restorer. The wood stock can be dressed with a good-quality wood finish product.

Q: Of what material is the butt pad made?

A: 1/2” thick over-molded rubber

Q: What about fitting?

A: Most factory Quest stocks can be pulled from the box and your firearm will insert with no need for fitting. However, due to variations in manufacturing, production processes and tolerances, some minor adjustments may be needed to achieve that perfect fit. Please consult a competent and qualified gunsmith if you need assistance.

Q: Should I "bed" the action?

A: Bedding is a technique employed to make a rifle more accurate and prolong the life of the stock. It creates a stable and precise fit to your action. Boyds stocks are meticulously engineered and machined from the most stable materials. In some cases, however, you may want/need to have the action bedded.

Q: Does it fit my make and model of rifle?

A: We will fit the Quest to as many of the variants of inlets listed on our website as possible. Just as with our other stock shapes, it's best to check our website for your specific make, model and action and confirm any measurements, hole spacing and barrel contour measurements on your rifle to be certain they match the stock. This will aid in precluding errors in ordering.
