Default Shaping a butt pad to fit a stock

If your not trained to shape and contour the pad to the stock it will not look like it's supposed to. The lines on a rifle are supposed to flow from the muzzle to the butt, if that line is interupted it will not look right. My instructer in stockmaking told me don't make something ugly just because you can, I never forgot that remark! If you decide to take the rifle to a gunsmith look at some of his work before handing over your rifle. Addressing cost $15-$20 for the pad and another $20-$30 for the shaping. William
