I'm thinking either a Sims Limbsaver "Grind to Fit" recoil pad or the "Slip-On" Limbsaver. The current length of pull is 14" which is just perfect for me. So I'd need to cut the stock for permanent installation of a grind to fit. On the other hand, the extra inch of the slip on may not be a problem on the bench, and I could remove it for hunting. No one feels recoil on a hunting shot.

Then there's the simple matter of just reducing the charge. That 110 grain load I shot probably had a velocity somewhere around 1475-1500 fps. Dropping the charge to 95 grains should produce something like 1400-1425 fps. The lower charge would have a greater drop at longer ranges, but would not lack anything in killing power.
