More good ideas, thanks Leigh. I don't think there's enough recoil in this rifle to cook off anything...;^)

One issue is the opening thru which I have to fit anything I want to store in the stock.

It's a rectangular shaped hole that measures 1"x1.5", anything I put in their has to fit thru that and I'm also trying to minimize the clattering around inside the stock as best I can.

It's all fun, I'm going to the hardware store in a bit to see if I can pick up some thinwalled ABS or PVC tubing that I can make into a storage tube.
