Added some weight to balance my rifle
I recently changed out rests and my rifle has not been tracking well when shooting heavy bullets. It is fairly barrel heavy and I wanted to fix that so it will ride the rear bag better. I drilled 2 holes in the butt with a 9/16" bit and cut 2 pieces of 1/2" copper pipe to fit in them. I then filled the pipe with lead from melting fishing sinkers. After they cooled I used some epoxy to keep them in place. I also made another small piece of lead to fit in the recess in the butt pad. In total this added ~10oz and shifted the center of gravity back toward the action quite a bit.
