Several shooters with actual experience on the exact topic said the same thing before John did, Mule Deer just agreed with those posts. Now he's the only one that provided a pearl?

TopCat Campfire Regular Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 1,336 Way Out West	Originally Posted by Gary O I will try the marine resin/carbon arrow shaft style on mine. Also the expanding foam from Loews in the butt-stock... Forgot to mention that the low expansion foam works best and use 3-4 partial fills with enough time in between to allow the foam to expand fully. Slightly compressed styrofoam peanuts in the hollow butt works and is less messy. It's a good idea to relieve the barrel channel as well. It ain't all burritos and strippers my friends...

If you get the one that expands the most, go slow and put a little in and let it finish expanding before you add more. It can warp or burst a synthetic stock. miles Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

These are medical grade rods, capable of supporting hundreds of pounds of deflection (trust me, I have the test reports). I am willing to give one to an enterprising handy person willing and capable of securing them within a stock. PM me for details. They are gone now, thanks. Last edited by cotis; 12/03/14.

All that to save a POS extruded stock with a VEE-BLOCK BEDDING SYSTEM!!!!!!!!! The answer to the question no one should be asking. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
