[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1670622, member: 9308"] I've got a Tikka T3 in .338 Win Mag that has a plastic stock in need of similar treatment. I've been thinking steel rod lengthwise in the forend, then epoxy over the top of that. I can see why you are going a slightly different route with your stock since there are already some perpendicular cross bolts in there. Should have same/similar outcome if we use the right epoxy and drill some holes in the plastic stock at various angles to give the epoxy some places to bed-in and stay put once it all cures. It should add some weight, too, which is good in my case. My .338 needs a bit more heft to take some of the sting out of it. I've already free-floated but now I'm going to hog out a whole lot more around the barrel, too. It may still make contact but hopefully with enough gap, that'll happen long after the bullet has said "sayonara" to the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
