I found myself in this very butt plate/pad dilemma today with a new gun after a day at the range. I need to change the pitch on this gun to the new angle shown here, as it shoots too high:



I would like to keep the original metal plate, but I have to admit, it does kick, and a pad would be nice, and give me a bit more lop too. The only way to do that and keep the metal plate would be to add an extension, which is a pita.
