best way to weight a rife stock

[ltfirehunter]

What I have is a Rem 700 with a 26in MTU contour barrel in a Manners T1 stock.
Would like to add a little weight to the stock to give it a better ballance and come a little closer to the max weight for shooting F/TR class.
What is the best way to do it.
And have it where it is removeable

Is the butt hollow? If so you can use epoxy and lead shot and fill it up to what ever weight you need. Hope this helps.

I don't think the butt is hollow on the Manners.

If you are just going to add weight, drill and fill with epoxy resin, milled fiber and shot. The mcs-t1 stocks have a 1/8" aluminum plate in the back for the adjustable spacer, you will hit this about 1/4" in. Give us a buzz and we can walk you through it or you can always send it to us and we will get you fixed up. Thanks
