Mine has a 2" crack on the side opposite the bolt, goes from the top into the thicker part of the stock. Will epoxy work or should I drill it and put a small brass pin in it to hold it? Any suggestions? Email me if you have any at mcpapa58@gmail.com When I got the gun at Cabella's it didn't have the best stock of the bunch at the time but it was the only hex receiver on the rack. With a 2x7 scope I can get 2" groups at 100 yards.

Hello,
I would use wood screws. Drive them in, cut them off and grind flush with the stock, or sink them in and hide the holes with wood filler.
I personally wouldn't use epoxy, but it might work.
Stocks are not my area of expertise, so maybe someone else can jump in.
You might note that wrist cracking is generally caused by the rear action screw smacking the wood, and that you should address recoil lug:recoil cross bolt relationship to prevent future problems.
Regards,
Josh

Hello all,
A cracked stock generally is repairable with a good grade of epoxy. Tricky but workable. A better choice might be to replace the stock with a good quality aftermarket stock ether wood or plastic, available on line (eBay and other sites). If you go for the repair you will need to address the recoil lug area to prevent additional damage.
