Title: synthetic stock repair question
Post by: deerhunter_98520 on January 04, 2014, 09:48:04 AM: I have a weatherby mark v ultralight and on the forearm the stock split on both sides of the sling swivel stud....would you guys send it in for repair? I was thinking about putting some epoxy in there...not sure what else they would do besides replacing the stock....any other suggestions?

Also I have a Harris bipod on it...I'm thinking that could have caused the crack....any of you have an ultralight with bipod and had this problem? I might just goto shooting sticks instead

Normally when I run a bipod on my rifles I installed a second swivel stud a little closer to the action for better support.only about 3" closer. If weatherby won't replace it id try the epoxy.
