Did you ever notice that you see more broken 'high grade' stocks, than plain old working guns? The more wild the grain, the more likely it isn't gonna go fore and aft at the weaker wrist area.
A proper repair with wood like that is an inletted spline, nice straight grain and running in line with the wrist. Lucky for you, a straight stock can have a larger, longer, and stronger spline and still be completely hidden beneath the trigger guard. I am not a stock man, but some who are prefer dowelling, but it seems to me a milled slot is more easily done than deep drilling and running the risk of getting off center.
