    Default Is there an underrated color from Boyd's stocks?

    I've been perusing pictures for days trying to decide which Boyd's stock color I think I want. I've gotten nowhere. I'm at the point now where I'm considering calling Boyd's and asking them which color is the most underrated and just going that route.

    Any opinions?

    What do you mean "underrated"?

    Excellent but not as popular as it should be.

    I don't understand.

    Are you buying it for yourself of someone else?

    I'm not trying to be a dick. I honestly don't understand the question.

    There are some hideous laminates on that site.

    Choose your top five and winnow it down from there.

    Underrated meaning undervalued. Something that is fantastic in person, but doesn't sell as well as it should. So there's not a million of them out there. Zombie, blue, and Pepper appear to be very popular, and I'd rather not have the same thing as everyone else if there's a nice alternative that just doesn't sell as well.

    I can't tell what these things will look like in person, and the different colors appear to vary wildly in color and personal appeal when looking at online photos from customers.
    This would be to replace the black plastic on a Savage 93r17 with the sporting barrel profile. It is for me.

    Good to know. Share some specifics if you're so inclined. I'm interested in replacing the plastic black Savage stock, but I don't HAVE to do anything. It's a lightweight suppressed varmint rifle that works well as-is, with an irritatingly cheap feeling stock.
