Gunsmiths, I need your expert opinions.
I need to add weight to the rear of my stock. I need this weight to balance out the heavy barrel I've had added and to provide a more stable shooting platform.
The stock is a Bell and Carlson aluminum bedded medalist stock.
I have cut off the recoil pad and have found a hollowed out cavity perfect for packing with Lead or Mercury recoil reducers to add weight to my stock.
I already own the mercury recoil reducers so glueing them in would be quick and easy. However, is there some outstanding reason that I should buy a bag of lead shot and use it instead? Is there a major drawback to using mercury recoil reducers for adding weight to a rifle stock?
I need your expert opinions, please!
Thanks!
