[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1120271, member: 78569"] Filling the butt stock with spray foam is a good solution but personally, I don't mind the empty space there. You can also add lead shot to the foam to add weight to balance out the barrel. I would not use a spray foam or bondo in the fore end or where it could contact metal. Those materials can adsorb water which can cause rusting. Also, the spray foam will deteriorate over time and is not a long term solution. 1+ on clay is a bad idea for similar reasons If you want a quick fix, I would recommend the carbon arrow solution. You can tape over the open ends of the arrows so they don't fill with epoxy. That saves a lot on epoxy I think I used 2 arrows and 2 packs of JB. I didn't mention in my earlier post that I bought a B&C sporter stock and it flexed the same towards the barrel as my stiffened stock. I had to float it 0.1" to prevent contact. I would get the M40 or varmint stock which has no flex in the fore end. [/QUOTE]
