I had the same exact rifle in SS with what Ruger called the ultra light stock. OUCH! man did that thing kick. I would literally fell sick and dizzy after about 4 shots at the range. I did what you did, Boyds lam. thumb hole stock, Answer brake and a Sims pad. It now shoots like a 270 or less. I use that gun for everything it shoots so nice. I also had the barell lapped, bolt face done and the trigger.
