LOL, if it were me, I'd buy the cheapest pair of flip flops/rubber sandals.....around a $1, and make a recoil pad out of it. I have around five rifles with such a recoil pad.

Recall first time I showed up at range with a stock on a rifle I that I'd made and had used a cheapo flip flop for its recoil pad. Gents there had quite a chuckle at the recoil pad I'd made using a flip flop, but all agreed it worked and actually looked decent.

You can remove your original butt plate and just glue on the recoil pad with silicone adhesive. I just place the butt on the sandal, trace around the butt with a fine point marker on the sandal.....then use my bandsaw to cut out the pad. Then I use my belt sander to smooth its edges and get a perfect fit on the butt and then just glue it on. Have yet to have one of my cheapo pads come off. But, using silicone adhesive, allows me to easily remove it if I wanted too.
