Thank you Dogshooter! That was more detail than I expectd, and exactly what I wanted to know. I know exactly what you're talking about with the flimsy stock. I've gotten vertical stringing on everything I've shot so far. Not bad, but taking away the stringing, it'd be a half-moa shooter. I like what you did there with the putty. Part of the magic of the cheap rifle is the ability to 'redneck' it guiltlessly. I'll play around with a few things this week when I can get out next, and will likely try something like what you've done there to add stiffness to the stock.

I appreciate it, man.
