Lead Tape

Post by FinnishPower »

hello

Well Sako P94S is a bit on the light side.

Within the rules are you allowed to add weight to the rifle such as putting some lead tape on the inside of the stock?

You can add the weight inside the stock, I have 10oz in the forarm of my Anschutz 1712.

Good luck, Paul

I mixed lead shot with bedding material and filed the forend with it. I weighed the shot and accugel before adding to be sure that I did not end up over the limit.

I'll bet that realy cuts down on the recoil. I think I'll try it.
