I have a Remington 700 synthetic stock. While I love shooting it, as everyone knows, it's kicks like a mule.

I had an idea that I was wondering if it would work or if I should try something else.

I took off the recoil pad and noticed that there is absolutely nothing inside. I was thinking about lining the inside with fiberglass and inserting two mechanical recoil reducers made from PVC, springs and washers. After inserting the mechanical devices, I was going to spray expanding foam to cover the empty areas to keep the mechanical devices in one spot.

Does it sound like I'm wasting my time? What would you do?
