Wanting to get into having a tripod setup for rifle, and I have a manfrotto I use for spotter and chrony, but nothing with the HOG saddle or anything super fancy to take a rifle.

Was wondering about maybe just drilling and tapping the stock (ssg3000 w/ the israeli made stock) and using a threadsert (probably with some jb weld or something on the external of the insert), which would then take the QD plate for the tripod.

Concerns:
1) recoil effect on the structural stability of the setup (seemingly concentrated on the screw/thread)
2) lack of ability to move rifle fwd or rear as needed

Anyone done this? bad? good? Trying to keep a budget reasonable as possible for whatever solution is final.
