A clear 2 part epoxy , or one of the newer wood glue's from elmer, like Gorilla
Make sure you can clamp it together well as there is nothing worse than a screwed up glue joint that is open and filled with hard glue. Surgical tubing may work well for this. Gorilla glue will expand and is not easy to clean up. There is nothing wrong with normal wood glue or slow curing thin epoxy.

*Note to self*-Do not lend wooden stocked rifles to fyshstick.
Or just a long bolt, about an inch longer than the stock is wide, and a bunch of assorted sized washers. Some real bubba class. Just don't tighten it too hard, or it'll crack the other way.

Titebond III wood glue. It is also waterproof. I have a wood shop outside and use this product exclusively and have never had a failure.Being waterproof will be an added bonus on a gun stock. Hope this helps and you get it repaired ok.
Use clamps....

I have been working with wood for 15 yrs. ANY white glue or yellow will work perfectly. A properly done glue joint will be stronger than the wood surrounding it.
Wrencher 2008 has the right of it. Tightbond III because it is recommended for exterior use.

thanks for all the replys guys i will try titebond 3 if i can find it around here the funny thing about the stock breaking is that i was pulling it apart to refinish it so hopefully when i get it done nobody will be able to tell
Larry,
The only problem with plain white wood glue is that it is not waterproof, and it will come apart if it gets a good day-long soaking.

Depending on the caliber, and how well the glue sticks, a little extra security isent all that bad, personaly i wouldent want to be out hunting, take a first shot, lever another put it to my shoulder shoot and have the stock break again and stick me in the shoulder.
and a 1/8th brass rod is barely noticeable if done correctly, or just leave it down from the surface a but and make up some filler compound fill in the holes and good as new with the extra protection of having it solidly together. not sure what size brass rod you invisioned, but you dont need anything big, just something to give the added security to the stock that has cracked all the way through.
that would be the point of the brass rod... to reinforce the wood. gotta be some reason it broke at that spot. wood getting old maybe a slight ammount of rot, or something like that in the area. just because that spot it broke is now stronger than the wood surrounding it.. what is the strondest part of a chain.. its weakest link, so if the wood surrounding the glue is still weak, its still going to break close to it, the brass pins will reinforce that area going through good wood to reinforce the weaker.
