Thanks, that's what I figured. I do like the look of the skeleton plates a lot, but I do worry about it being out of place on the gun, which is a very light basically "field grade" O/U with minimal embellishment that I'll restock to fit me.
I am trying to figure out a way to finish the butt without changing the balance--I need a pretty long LOP so it's something I've struggled with on guns I've worked on in the past, as even with a pretty big hole in the stock they end up butt-heavy if I put a pad on (and I don't require the recoil reduction).
What other ways to finish the butt are there I might consider?
