Look in this thread for ideas. For the main break: score a thin rod of oak dowel. I got mine @ Menards for around a dollar. Also score some 60 minute epoxy = another fiver on top of the buck for the dowel. Avoid fast epoxy like the plague! It is worthless!! 30 minute at the very slowest but hold out for the 60 minute stuff. Since this is your 1st repair, you want all the time you can get for yourself.
I used plain dowel but if you want, you can chuck up a small piece in your drill press or quarter inch drill. Using the edge of a file or even a sharp knife, you can score the short piece of dowel to better hold glue.
Select a drill bit close to the diameter of the dowel. Get a piece of scrap wood like a chunk of 2x4 and drill a test hole to insure the dowel will enter with a minimum of assistance. ( like pounding it with a small hammer) Don''t pound the dowel into the stock until you have everything glued - you might get it pounded in & not able to remove it! 
Measure carefully or eyeball a part of the break with the most wood on either side of the break. Try the drill bit against the stock from different angles you can easily reach and plan the hole you are about to drill.
From the INSIDE of the stock, drill far enough to hold a piece of dowel but not far enough that the drill goes clear through the stock. Unless this will be a using or fun gun. IMO, it will have the greatest resale/trade value if the repair is concealed.
Once the hole is drilled, cut a piece of dowel of a length that can be easily maneuvered in the stock opening.
Get your clamps ready and something to use as clamp pads so the stock doesn't get damaged. A piece of balsa from a model kit or plain lath works well. Put a piece of waxed paper between the stock and pad so nuttin sticks together.
Mix your glue. With a Q-tip apply epoxy to the inside of the entire break and also in the hole you drilled. Roll the dowel in the glue - you don't actually need all that much, but I like to fill all voids if possible.
Press the dowel into the hole. If it's a tight fit, you might have to tap it in - this is why you carefully selected the angle to drill the hole. Tap the dowel in - there should be a bit sticking out. Leave it alone for now - you trim it in a couple days.
Putting pads against the stock, you now close the crack as tightly as you can using whatever clamps you have.
After you're happy with the way the crack has closed use acetone ( nail polish remover - I swiped some from preppy daughter) or cheep rubbing alcohol to remove all traces of wet epoxy from the exterior of the stock.
Set the stock aside for two days - this allows the epoxy to completely cure. Carefully remove the clamps, pads & wax paper - use steel wool to clean off the wax paper remnants if necessary.
Viola!  The crack should scarcely be visible! Two pics are shown below - I drilled out butt plate screw holes and tapped in oak dowel so I could drill new holes for a replacement butt plate.
This might give you some perspective and ideas on how to proceed. SW
