hey all! i'm trying to set up my savage 10t (in 6.5 creedmore) for success... i've heard that adding weight is a proven method of recoil reduction. so, i unscrew the recoil pad on my new rifle and inside the stock there is a big (i mean huge!) cavity. i've filled it with about 1-2 pounds of small bolt nuts and steel bb pellets. is this a good idea? the rifle feels much more hefty and balanced now (it has a very thick bull barrel that totally screwed up balance). despite of my efforts to tightly pack all nuts/bbs, i hear a bit of a rattle from them shifting a little inside the stock when i shake the rifle... any thoughts on this? good idea, bad idea? can this making recoil impulse inconsistent and inconsistently affect harmonics shot-to-shot?
