    question about stock on stevens 200....


    This may sound funny to you...Being a man of thin wallet
    and looking foranother stock,I got this wild idea....
    If I were to fill the voids in this stock with body putty
    do you think it will make it more stiffer for target shooting..
    It has pillars in it already..And I do have to open the channel
    a little for the heaiver barrel..So tell me your thoughts on
    this..I know there has to have been someone that has tried
    this befor..

    Yes, it has been tried and talked about and photographed and done, and done over again! A search on here can find piles of reading material on the subject.

    It can help a little, and keep you out of the "strip bars" :-)

    When you say target shooting, one assumes you mean against opponents, but with such a stock you will not be competitive.

    Such a stock can, however, make a suitable, light weight rifle for hunting.

    JMHO ... Jim :-)

    Yes, the factory "Tupperware" stock forearm can be stiffened but, it still won't be a stock I would rely on for competition. The barrel channel can be opened up but it wont have much side wall left when done. I've doctored up a number of them for sporter rifles and they do work well for that application.

    Beat me at what, harvesting deer or punching holes in paper ?? :-))

    edit ... And by the way, no matter what you've done to your tupperware, your stock is not stiffer than mine ! ! ! :-))

    When it comes to polishing turds, tupperware doesn't shine up too well......
