A good, and traditional leather covered pad should be like any other recoil pad. It should be
1) well fit, more of an extension of the buttstock than a bulging later thought of add on and
2) it should be removable and in this case it should have leather covered plugs
Chances are its simply been wrapped in leather and glued on to the stock. If the gun fits you, you shoot it ok, you dont mind it, and if it doesnt break rule #1 all too badly, then I say leave it on and dont worry about it. Otherwise youre looking at cutting the leather off for the most part and simply chopping the pad off, through who knows what (screws, wood plugs, anything??)
