Default Boyds gun stocks, anyone have any experience?

I have 2 Remington 783 rifles (223 & 308). I would like to upgrade the stocks. I've looked at their website and watched some YouTube videos.
Anyone here have any real life experience with them?
I'm just a casual shooter, paper puncher; so any suggestions on which model would be appreciated. Looking specifically at the Prairie Hunter, Heritage and Classic.

Thanks in advance, hope everyone is staying safe

I've used there unfinished WWII style stock for a M1 Garand it fit pretty good with a little hand fitting.
I used real tung oil from Real Milk Paint Co. and was very happy with how it came out.

It's been a few years back, I bought an unfinished Remington Model 7 walnut stock.

I finished it with tru oil, did a bit of inletting and glass bedded the action.

It was an excellent value that took very little work to produce a good looking/shooting hunting rig.

I just got done sticking a Mohawk 600 I re-barreled in one. It fit the stock gun perfectly. I had to open the channel up with the new heavy barrel (6.5 Creedmoore) No problems with a 1" diameter sanding drum . Seems to be a nice stock and looks good to. It is a laminated thumb hole with a rubber butt pad.
