Stan, I have a lot of guns without a pad that I shoot without issue. To some extent though I am feeling recoil more than I did in the past. Perhaps related to losing a bit of weight? Certainly my guns fit me differently now than they did 35 lb.'s ago.
Hey, it's that special time of year! Best wishes to everyone for the 2023 fall season.

I know this is not for everyone, but using black spacers to make up the difference is not for me.
The next owner can do what they want but replacing that stock with a similar piece of walnut would be in the thousands and selling it you would never make up the cost.

Did you do that yourself? That’s impressive. Yes you can tell, but it matches well and the seam is very well done.

Edm1 thank you, yes I did the wooden extension mixed up some stain to get the right color and then faux grained it with a marker. What a shame that someone cut this magnificent piece of walnut, someone who did not appreciate wood.

Beartooth slip-on pad kit

This increases LOP variably by about 1/8 to 3/4 inches. Very stable and soft, and uses different thickness inserts for adjustment of LOP. Not real elegant but cheap, and adjustment or removal are trivially easy. Also useful to experiment with LOP and the attendant changes in drop and cast, in preparation for installation of a more durable pad or wood extension. And a good way to vary LOP depending on weather (ie you can easily reduce LOP a little to accommodate a thick coat).
