How are you introducing bead board/ packing peanuts/ dry cleaner bags/ expanding foam, etc. into the stock? Take off the recoil pad.

Packing peanuts, bags, or pieces of foam (like you'd find in a gun case) That foam is a freaking mess.

Had some of the marine grade 2 part foam left over from a project at work. Tried it in a savage stock and I thought it worked great. Doesn't weigh much and is solid as a rock. Used epoxy in the for end though.

Double ziplock bag with dry socks, matches etc. Make it a survival kit storage area.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I put some paper towels, a metal match and a 42 gallon, 3mil, contractors garbage bag in my Ruger American. Filled up the space and it is much quieter than it was before. I thought I might as well haul around something useful...

AS someone said, get the low expansion stuff so it doesn't bow out your stock. they have regular foam and stuff for windows and doors.
I would go light and stop half way and see how it does.
let us know how it turns out.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

You got it right. Great stuff "Big gap" foam. Use painters tape and mask all around the end of the stock. Probably should tape a plastic bag or something around the stock as well. That stuff is messy and is tough to get off whatever it dries on.
It actually helps the curing process to spray a fine mist of water in the stock first, because it is a polyurethane base (similar to Gorilla glue).
Fill halfway or so, let it fully cure, and then cut off the excess that expanded out.
Whatever you use will add weight, but this shouldn't be much over an ounce at most. A can of the non-expanding foam might be easier to use since it won't expand out the gaps. I don't know how cured weight compares.
