I have the left handed featherlite for Rem-700, and an M1 Garand stock. The At-One looks cool. Sadly though I am all stocked, and I would have to do this to a 700 Police. The 700P is floated and bedded and adding a Boyd would drop the accuracy. The Boyd stocks are like 95% done. You have to do some dremel and hand sanding when you match it to a weapon. They always send it with a how-to and it's not hard to do; but it's not like buying a bedded McMillan, Hogue, or JPE.
Boy'd that's ugly.
I'd look carefully at the robustness of those push button controls and how firmly all those interchangeable pieces fit.
I really liked the Magpul 10/22 stock and expect that the Remy 700 would be as nice. Everything else is a lot more expensive.

I have 2 of the pro varmint ones and I pillar bedded both of them. Besides having to to open one up for a bull barrel because that factory option wasn't available for the one rifle they were pretty much drop in with no fitting.

I ran into problems with both as follows:
* The Remington 700 XHR took the Featherlight Left Hand. I had to sand a little at the bottom for the lower to drop in correct, and add 2 washers so it would tighten without causing the bolt to bind. Right from Boyd's, if you put in the 2 bottom bolts the bolt could not move at all.
* The M1 Garand I had to dremel and then hand sand So that the trigger starts it's bind at 75% closed. They cut them to start at 25% knowing that each lower is different, and give you instructions on how to sand properly to seat at 75%.

I had looked at the videos for pillaring and glass bedding this winter; and it seemed like there was easily $1K invested in the custom jigs. I watched the Midway USA video. I already have the vice and have a drill press; but Midway USA had these really custom jigs for aligning and drilling. How did you do yours? I wish there was somewhere here in Central NY where you can bring a rifle and have them pillar, glass bed, and blueprint the unit.

I used a milling machine to drill the pillar holes in both of them and some nuts, bolts and washers to hold them in place while the JB Weld cured. I use these guys pillar inserts and they worked great Raven Eye Custom - Bedding Pillars
One is a 10/22 and the other is a 77/22. Both are custom and I can shoot 10 round groups and cover them with a dime at 50 yards.
