Stevens 200 Tupperware stock mods

I know I am not answering your question, but I believe it's a fool's errand. The stock cannot be stiffened sufficiently to make the effort worthwhile. Yes, you can add arrow shafts to stiffen the forearm, but it doesn't help solve the problem. The primary problem is the stock flexes near the recoil lug and none of the "fixes" of the past have addressed that.

Save your effort and invest in a Boyd's laminate stock (least expensive and effective option) or a higher end stock such as Bell and Carlson, Choate, etc. On the bright side, unless you are attempting to build a target rifle or a tactical rifle you plan to shoot off of a bi-pod, it isn't all that necessary. The factory stock free-floats the barrel if you shoot off of sandbags placed under the action (as opposed to the front of the forearms). IMHO

It's certainly good advice and I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I'm sure you are likely right, because the intent is to add a bipod soon.
I'm trying to skimp, but I suppose the low cost of Boyd's stocks could be thrown in considering all other costs that are going into it. I will just need to confirm the action type to the matching Boyd stock and wait for santa to bring me some cash!
Thank you for the insight.

As a member, you can look on classifieds and find a compatible stock in laminate for less than Boyd's. Stevens and Savage stocks are identical with the right model numbers...

And, Foxx is right.
