I bought an old Stevens 325c bolt action .30-30 off a member here a few years ago. It was beat up, but I bought it for a camping, hiking, scouting, and general "beater" gun. I recently picked up an Eberlestock pack on clearance (got it like 60% off!!!) and was packing said 325 in it the other day.
The pack was pulling in a weird way and making my left shoulder ache. Rather than adjust the pack, I pulled lightly on the butt off the 325. I heard a crack and was afraid it was the carbon fiber frame of the pack. Checked the rifle after I got back to my truck and realized I had cracked the stock right at the bolt handle.
So, I figured what the heck, and ordered a Boyd's stock for it. Stock was a few bucks more than I paid for the rifle, but I want to continue to carry it. Since I was ordering one, I went ahead and ordered a thumbhole stock for my Remington 788 in 243, too.
They came today.
