One thing to be aware of is that slip on pads, if left in place any length of time, oft cause a distinct change in the stock's finish where the slip-on pad has covered the buttstock, some would seem to either leach finish or taint it too, so that you can end up w/a two-tone buttstock. If the finish and asthetic are important to you, you may wish to consider a Slivers or Pachmeyer decelerator [Old English type] pad or leather covered installation.
