Super glue the crack...wet sand it with 400 and 600 grit and super glue.
Then take the trigger guard off and drill a 1/4 hole up into the stock deep enough to go past the crack and glue a 1/4 oak of walnut dowel rod in the hole.

What tool would you use to make the mortise.... Look up biscuit joiner. It might be rough stuff on a decent gunstock. Those things like solid reference planes, and water based glues to expand the biscuit. You may want to limit the scope of your mechanical reinforcement? Only thoughts, but try a test cut first for sure.

I like the mortice & biscuit idea but I would first want to get the cracks on each side filled & closed up a much as possible. I still like the original Acraglas for something like this but others may have ideas on the proper adhesive. Whatever you use needs to get into the clean & deoiled cracks & the cracks pulled tight as possible w/surgical tubing.
After curing then cut the mortice under the trigger guard. A vertical mill or drill press w/ compound table + appropriate cutters would be the best for cutting the mortice. Assuming you don't have either you could drill holes to the approximate width & depth of the biscuit & clean it up w/chisels & a bottoming scraper to fit the biscuit. I would probably use Acraglas to secure the biscuit as well.
Done properly it should be nearly invisible & very stable.

It is hard to say as to what to do without knowing the extent of the cracks showing on the outside, and what has happened inside the stock.

Stabilize the crack, Use a mill and put a piece of Baltic birch under the trigger guard
