[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1927239, member: 91402"] I have had a couple stocks crack in the same place. Both were on customized Mauser '98's. One was wood and the other was a well-know cheap fiberglass brand. Once this happens it is a difficult fix. I had to route a channel and imbed metal pins in the fiberglass model, as well as re-bed the recoil lug. The wooden one I had to flex until it was almost broken and fill the crack with epoxy, and also re-bed the lug area. It helped that the wood was straight grained and uncomplicated. The wood on your stock looks much more complex. If it were me I would hog out the recoil lug area back to the magazine until the fancy wood on the outside was little more than a veneer and fill it with epoxy bedding. I would also check that the foreword stock screw isn't in contact with the wood or the action isn't flexed when the screws are tightened. I don't know CZ actions but this has an effect on the Mausers and a few other rifles I have worked on. [/QUOTE]
