Who has put sand in a rifle stock for recoil?
#21
In general, when guys (guys that know what they're doing at least) weight a rifle for recoil, they add weight to the buttstock as well as the forend, such that they don't alter the balance point of the rifle.
Also, the best method is to add the lead by fixing it in place with epoxy (or wood glue). If you want to have it be removable for future use, for whatever reason, you can make a mold (spray with release agent, of course) that matches the dimensions of your desired installation cavity, and then run a screw through the "weight" to secure it in the stock.
