I assume you're talking about shooting a PRB?

As a last resort you can cut off the curved butt, and install a recoil pad. (Sims)

I have a feeling you're shouldering the gun wrong, but I have no way of knowing without seeing you do it. Your load with the weight of a GPR shouldn't kick bad at all. Your body should be almost 90 degrees to the target with the gun going across your body.

Are you shooting offhand? Shooting off a bench will kill you with that gun. It did me no matter how I mounted it, but offhand it was fine.

Yep PRB...with the twist, I think that's about all a guy can shoot with that rifle, maybe I'm wrong though.

I'm standing pretty much side ways to the target with my elbow raised pretty much straight out.

I've thought about redoing the butt, if I do, the gun will be mine for life or if I ever sell, I'll take a hit on the value, I think.

You'd be surprised on how many guys hate that butt plate. I think finding a buyer would be easy.

Yes, the twist on the GPR is made for a PRB, but there's some short conicals that would work too.

I put one of these on my Renegade. The heavy conicals i shoot were too much with the steel butt plate the gun comes with. Plus, I needed to add some LOP to the stock. It doesn't look too bad for a sidelock. I can just slip it off to sell the gun.

Yeah...I may need to take a few pics and post it in the classified section if I decide to sell or trade.

That recoil pad looks good, may need to look into it.
