Exclamation Cracked Stock on ABOLT Medallion, What to do?

Well I've got myself a situation, after cleaning my gun up from a hunt I noticed that behind the rear of the action the stock is cracked about 2/3 around to near the trigger. I had to use it on a hunt the next week and fired about 4 shots through it, the crack didn't seem to grow any. The crack seems to be recoil related from it's location and the fact it wasn't dropped from pre-crack to crack condition. I can't seem to find anyone who will fix it in a reasonable amount of time and as it's my only big game gun I kinda need it around the next little bit. Does anyone have any good idea's/thgouhts on what to do? It's a 7mm Rem Mag if that makes any diffrence.
Tim

Pretty typical on A-Bolts. Rare to see one with a walnut stock that is not cracked. It is a fairly easy fix to stock the crack from spreading, or a good 'smith can fix you up pretty easy.

PM me if you want to take a run at it yourself, I've done several.
