I've installed a lot of pads on a lot of guns for myself and unless the stock is a Monte Carlo, cutting the butt at 90 degrees from the comb gives me good pad to shoulder contact and shoots comfortably. This is true assuming the comb has a usable amount of drop for me. I couldn't care less what the actual pitch turns out to be. It has no bearing on where the gun shoots(high or low), IMO and IME.
