[QUOTE="bonafide, post: 2663148, member: 125020"] I had a gunsmith install a recessed magnet receiver for the Spartan tripod in my Sako .338 Lapua. The gun is very heavy and the adapter is not in the middle of the weight, so that when the tripod is holding, there is a lot of tension on the stock. It has started cracking badly (pictures below), and I am wondering if y'all think it is worth trying to repair. I am not a gunsmith, but I would be willing to give it a shot and move the adapter further back towards the clip (if possible) to give it more balance. I am also shopping for a new stock and operating under the assumption that it isn't worth repairing. But of course finding a stock for this action is pretty tough since no one seems to manufacture them anymore. I suppose, ideally, I will find a stock (I have a few leads through LRH), but try to repair it also to get some experience and have a back-up. Is it worth trying to repair? Thanks for your feedback.
