I may have to look for a skive then. Hate to do that for just one or two pads, but I would like to try this myself. The Eland has the feel of stretchiness. I think it would work. I have a Tandy about 40 minutes away, if need be.

I think your red pad may have looked a lot better if was ground down to the shape of the second one. It's just too big and curvy.

There is a place for big and curvy but that gunstock isn't one of them.
