Question re Boyd's plastic trigger guards

[Bang]

I have a Thompson Center Compass in 6.5 Creedmoor. It is very accurate, but the factory plastic stock is no fun on the bench bags.

I have ordered a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock. I have a Boyd's on a Savage .22 rifle, and know I am probably going to need to "work with" it.

With a F.A.T. wrench, I torque the factory assembly at 35 inch-pounds.

The question I ask, of anyone with experience, is how does the plastic trigger guard hold up to the rear bolt torque?

Metal guards are available for other makes, but seems none for the Compass yet.

I'm thinking about making my own guard from strap steel. Won't know if that is practical until I get the stock next Tuesday.

If the plastic is up to the task, then all will be well.

Edited to say, just found video showing it may come with a metal guard. Here's hoping!

I have no idea about your question.
I just wanted to say ... thank goodness you finally have a different gun.

LOL...

Now, if we could have a different MSM...

Tuesday. Day after tomorrow. And time keeps d r a g g i n g o n... it's somewhere in Indiana...(Boyd's pro varmint stock) Fremont....the other side of Ohio...sittin there since yesterday...
Aha! Progress. It's on the move. Hagerstown, MD. Hope the Maryland gendarmes don't grab it for investigation.

WOW!!! The stock came this morning!! And it looks beautiful. Boyds filled the order rapidly, and delivery was ahead of schedule. So pleased!! And yes, the trigger guard is metal.

Some make a bit of a deal over the Boyds stock magwell being too ample and allowing lateral and rolling movement of the mag.

The answer is careful application of a bedding compound if that anal. I simply applied three layers of electricians tape to each sidewall. The mag installs nicely, and is snug as a bug in a rug. I think that will suffice on the range. If I ever use this rifle for deer again, it will go back on factory plastic stock (with a far more appropriate scope).
