Adding weight to Savage 12BVSS-S rifle

Does anyone have any tips or tricks? It's a laminate stock, and I wanna get the sucker as heavy as possible. External weights are also an option...

Easiest options would be to add a recoil reducer, since they usually contain mercury and are heavy, to the rear of the stock under the recoil pad. Adding weight to the front end could be done by adding a large round of steel that is machined to fit over the barrel from the front and slipped back to the stock. Can also make it so it tensions the barrel and will make rifle more accurate.
