I have Bedded the recoil plate in fore-end of the stock and Installed a pillar on centre bolt of my Ruger M77 MK11 LOTT. This is after the first stock cracked on the weapon not long after i received it from Ruger. Anything else i should do to get away from another cracked stock?

go synthetic

If someone made a synthetic stock for a Ruger LOTT i would!! No one does!!

Zimguide,

Check out www.armtec.co.za. They are not too far from you and they will make you a made-to-order synthetic for your rifle. Last time I checked their prices were fairly reasonable as well.

I would buy a Brass threaded rod about 8mm diameter,drill a suitable hole across the upper pistol grip, thread and epoxy it in and then sand down smooth.
This area is where they always seem to break.
A mate did this with his CZ LOTT after it cracked and it worked well with epoxy also in the crack.

a big ass pillow between the butt stock and your shoulder....kickn mule...

Check bedding screws often to make sure they are tight, even a very, very slightly loose bedding screw will cause a problem.

I also own a Lott and have experienced a broken stock, i check the screws religously and they do need to be tightened from time to time. You dont want the action having a run up aganist the wood when you fire it.......

Armtec stock for my custom lott with steel frame and recoil reducer was R 5900. Built on their Jefferey shape stock with 5 shot drop box magazine.
Fitted for LOP with a Decelerator pad.

Will try post some pics
