Might take the recoil pad off and see if you could put some weight in the stock to create a better balance.

I ended up putting a bunch of lead shot in a zip lock in one of my stocks. Then when I found the weight I wanted I filled the zip and lead with silicone caulk and put that inside. The caulk dried and I had nice weighted wedge that i could remove anytime I wanted...
