Looking for a way to reduce weight on a factory standard wood stock for a Win 70.

Looked on the search link and only found a thread for reducing weight on the recoil pad. Did not look productive.

I had thought about drilling some holes in the rear of the stock under the recoil pad?

Would the wood taken out make much of a difference?

I had oil finished the stock, and this past weekend removed the cheek piece. Looks very nice, but with the action out of the stock, I noticed how heavy the butt section was.

Has anybody drilled holes in the rear of a wood stock to reduce weight?

thanks,

Curly
