"I find it interesting that you have no trouble calling anyone who likes recoil pads jerks. This, of course, is just YOUR opinion, and an offensive one, at that."

First, all grafting jobs are just that, a graft or an extension, and 99% are visible. I was not trying to hid anything, just trying to make the gun fit me, not you, or anyuone else.

Plus, I stated the person who cut this stock was a jerk for doing so, I didn't call everyone a jerk that likes recoil pads. It is a preference for some, but not me. With the available loads out there now, again my opinion, there is no need for one.

NOW, if your LOP is longer than the standard 14-14 1/2 LOP than a recoil pad is for you to add an extra 1/2'-1". I have seen 1 1/2' recoil pads, and they are ugly. Plus you must have read also that I only attached it with two screws to remove later if I wanted to blend a better piece if I desired.
A new stock with the wood that gun has would be around $2500 finished.

So, Jim, I did not call you a jerk.
