JB: Thank you for the information. It seems that I have a nice rifle that I should not shoot for fear of cracking the original stock. Should I get a replacement stock so I can shoot it and keep the original undamaged or should I just not shoot it at all? I have plenty of rifles, so it is not like I will not kill a deer this year without it. I do enjoy shooting it none the less.

Whether you choose to shoot your rifle is a personal decision. I can understand your attachment to the rifle and desire to shoot it. Under the circumstances, I would recommend that you shoot it as is with the original stock. If, however, you find yourself desiring to shoot it regularly and often, I recommend that you acquire an arsenal-overhauled rifle for that purpose so as to preserve your original rifle.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
