[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2812414, member: 42494"] On my wooden stocks, besides glass bedding the action, I added a RECOIL ROD to supplement the recoil lug which would theoretically take some of the pressure off the recoil lug recoil. A 3-4 inch long hole was drilled into the wood stock aft of the action at a downward angle into the handgrip. A threaded metal rod, glued in with epoxy, was fitted into the hole so that it touches the rear of the action. I usually glass bedded the action 1st, then after curring, added the rod to touch the back of the action. This rod also strengthens the wooden handgrip. [/QUOTE]
