Second question is has anyone had this issue before? I feel like I take good care of the gun and never expected it to have a dang cracked stock. My main question is should I be worried about using it next weekend? I have a versamax but I am shooting in a sporting clays tourney and would usually use the o/u for that. Only thing I could think is I had it in my truck Friday since I was going straight from work, but I park in a garage and the truck wasn't hot at all when I got there. It has always been safe kept with humidity control, don't expose it to extreme conditions. I will have to figure out that whole process and I doubt it's under warranty. I know I can call Browning or go to a service center (The one listed for Houston is Freer). It is in the grip and goes from the trigger metal back towards the butt of the rifle through the middle of the grip.

30 minute to 1 hour epoxy would be fine.I have a Browning Cynergy Classic that I have just found a crack in the butt stock. If you add black acrylic paint, that will not be a concern though. The longer the drying time, usually the less yellowing with age. If you've never done epoxy before, find someone who has experience with it, and let them help you. If you use resin, you must be careful of bubbles. I have had good luck with Delta Ceramcoat acrylic paint. Shake the bottle, let it settle a little. They have different brands in a 2 oz bottle.

I use acrylic paint from Michael's, or Hobby Lobby. I like to use this for my fly fishing, and tying needs. The Gorilla Super Glue has not dried up in the bottle, and has a clog resistant cap. But of course what I may like better, others may not. (the one with the BLUE CAP) I have found it to be excellent, and prefer it over ZAP A GAP. Now for just super glue, I like Gorilla Super Glue. I like the UV resin, I have two different brands. The area you are applying to should be clean, and dry. It would depend on how big of a batch you are making. Add another drop, until it gets the darkness you want. You just put in a couple of drops of acrylic paint, stir with a toothpick slowly to prevent bubbles. If you want to add paint in the epoxy, I use acrylic paint.
EPOXY HAIRLINE STOCK CRACK PROFESSIONAL
A professional restorer might be able to close it with little showing afterwards by filling in any adhesive/solvent indention with resin particles and appropriate solvent, but this is a difficult process. Of course, my pen is a user and not valuable, so you'll have to judge the risk. It might be wise to wait until the crack widens to repair as although stronger it will likely exacerbate the crack's appearance. The cracks still show some but are tight, not opening when the clip is pulled I would guess that if the clip use is continued without repairing the crack it will grow. Then, I carefully polished with 2000 grit sandpaper and plastic polish. Minimize the adhesive amount as it will melt the plastic and cause an indention. I then pulled the floss through and along the crack, while applying small amounts of CA adhesive to the floss. I repaired mine by passing very fine unwaxed dental floss carefully into the crack. I have a Montblanc 220 with similar cracks at the clip (only worse), I think cracks there come from fatigue from clip usage and/or clipping too thick fabric.
