What is the caliber you are trying to reduce recoil on?

.458 Lott, it’s not very bad considering the caliber just curious on what one would do

I wouldn't put a muzzle brake on it, that will be stupid loud when you shoot it. There's any number of recoil reducers that can be added to the stock. Some that just simply add weight. Others that use spring loaded weights and/or mecury filled that not only add weight but more action to counter the backward movement of the rifle under firing.

The main things you can do are add weight, muzzle brake, and a better recoil/butt pad.

I personally really dislike muzzle brakes and I feel bad for PHs that have to get their ear drums blown out by everyone adding one to every gun possible. So my preference is to stick with the other two methods.

I don’t want add a muzzle break, yes there loud and I just do t particularly care for the way they look on certain rifles, What are some trusted brands of reducers?

Tungsten is about the heaviest material that is readily available per unit of volume, if you have the tooling available. Lead is a simpler option, DO NOT POUR MOLTEN LEAD IN A WOOD STOCK. I would pour the lead into a copper tube then cut to length. I have been looking to add weight to a single shot 600ne and there was lots of math figuring out what way to go.
