If you have a straight grip stock bent up 5/8 inch for less drop at heel will this cause the bottom line of the grip to look bowed? Thanks in advance .Bobby

I divided .625 by 12 inches (guess of butt stock length to wrist) and came up with.052. Can you see that much in the distance we are talking about?

Short answer:yes
I bent a straight stock about 3/8" up and it was visible.

There's an option, but it's more expensive. Have the tangs bent and the head re-inletted I've not had this done, but maybe some stockmakers like Mr Travallian can tell us about it.

I think a $20 slip on comb raiser pad like the one RST sells is a better option.

I would imagine it woud destroy the correct lines and bending tangs up would be expensive.I can make a new stock but a lot of work for an old man! Thanks,Bobby

5/8 is a lot to bend up, in my opinion. Yes, you would notice the change in bottom line. If you would be willing to refinish the stock you could, after bending, rasp and sand the bottom of the stock to remove the "belly" and refinish the stck. It isn't difficult, it just takes some time. This would be less expensive than re-inletting
