I have done a couple of inexpensive stocks to make for a temporary fix until I build or buy what I want. Problem is I like them so much now they are staying on the rifles. I was in a Lowes store and saw some JB 2 part Epoxy that I had never seen before. I usually use Devcon, Marinetex, Acraglass and sometimes JB for small repairs. The newer JB product is very light and works well. Seems to be extremely strong, I tried to break it and it held tough.
Above pics are a Savage Model 11
Above pic Is a Ruger predator with a modified forend and a butt hook built in like the savage. Grip is a Tikka fitted on. I do them to ride a rest on the bench better as well as a rear bag.
I use a dremel and do a lot of cross hatching and deep grooves in the entire area to be built up. I then will add screws into the stock to help guide me on depth and to give a very solid anchor for the material. Next sand with course sand paper and clean everything with lacquer thinner. Then build up your areas and shape to your liking.
The stock in the Picture was a cheap plastic stock for a model 11. As I built it to fit me it is one of the most comfortable hunting stocks I have. They are very light to start with and this material is extremely light for what it does. Good thing is if you don't like it grind it off or just throw it away. Lol
Hope this helps. Very simple, does not take long at all if you have done this work before. If you haven't let her rip and give it a try, you can always buy a new stock.
