[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1313762, member: 54178"] CAM, Last month I took my Dremel tool and a small sanding drum to my Ruger plastic stock's fore arm. I ground a groove through the plastic reinforcements inside the forearm so I could lay a cut down arrow shaft down inside without touching the barrel. I made putty glue "dams" at each side of each internal reinforcement (so the epoxy would stay in place).Then I put JB WELD inside the putty dams. After the epoxy set up I removed the putty dams and now that forearm is MUCH stiffer but still light. Yeah, the fore arm wasn't "broke" but it was wimpy and put pressure on the barrel if I wrapped my non-trigger arm into the sling for support. It begged to be stiffened. (Ha, "That's what she said.";o) Eric B. P.S. I always hunt with my Bushnell 10X laser range finder binoculars. They have ballistic tables that get me to "minute of antelope" hold IF I read the wind correctly. They read accurately (according to test reports) to 1,700 yards and I only need them to be good to 600 - 700 yards for hunting purposes with a 6.5 CM. These days in competitions I consider that distance "medium range". It's amazing how LR competition quickly changes your perspective ([I]and [/I]ability) on distance shooting. [/QUOTE]
