Ok so I need to add some weight into the back of my stock. I have a 452 Silhouette, which I already have been able to get the rubber but pad off with just a blow dryer. What do you guys recommend putting in the but of the stock. I need to add 1lb. Currently the rifle weighs, 7.2lbs and I would like to get it up to 8.2. All ideas are appreciated. Keep in mind this is a synthetic stock so melting lead and pouring it in I dont think is an option as it may melt the stock.

Best regards, Baby Huey.

Ok, hollow out your butt with a drill and a 1 inch spade bit, preferably with my drill press. Ask Big Dave for a pound of #8 shot. Mix it up with some silicone and cram it in your butt. Reinstall pad with some leftover silicone. Clean up with some mineral spirits before it dries, being careful not screw up your CZ stickers. Voila!

Somewhat a kin to a flex sigmoid in reverse...

Thanks Ham, when can I use your drill press?

Totally off topic, but the image in my head of you holding that little CZ silhouette stock and trying to shoot is just hilarious. I hope Hammy or someone is fixing you up something to lengthen the pull on that.

Sounds like this should be posted in "behind" the berm

I just shoved a half pound of shot and some silicon up my butt. Of my 1710 of course. Now to put my butt cover back on.

Use the banana peel like the one in the photo to cover your butt.

Oh trust me the little CZ is only temporary. Want till I get the big dog rifle.

And what is the best way to get the lead in the but, through the back I guess?

On a more serious note, Is there any possible advantages of drilling on an upward or downward angle and not just going straight in. I kinda think drilling downward would be best as it wil put some of the lead closer to the to the bottom or base of the stock and create better balance? Sounds good in theory right?

On a second thought, starting at the absolute bottom and just going up enough to follow the bottom of the stock would put all the weight on the absoulute bottom of the stock. Any objections?

Hey Jason, here's a pic of our hero and his CZricket... we're both coming to the Conard Cup next year and staying at Byron's house, he just doesn't know it yet.

Wheres this hammy? And jeeze, by then I wont be shooting a CZ.

Heres the new bet, you can take the under or over... New rifle in under 3months from this date or over 3months from this date. I know where Im puttin my money!!!
