I've bought a recoil pad and want to install it on a fiberglass stock. The butt dimension of the stock fall between the "medium" and "large" recoil sizes, so I bought the "large" size. Here's the question - should I build up the butt size with fiberglass to match the recoil pad standard size, or should I grind the pad to match the butt size? Is there a way to grind the pad that will produce a result that looks good -even great? At this stage I've also been advised to embed about 1&1/2 lbs of lead shot in the stock. This will supposedly reduce recoil (the gun is a 308). I will not be "packing" the gun for long distances and want to use it primarily at the range and plan to shoot 100-200 rounds/afternoon. It originally had a metal butt plate and 100-200 rounds results in just a bit much soreness on Monday morning for this guy. Thanks for any suggestions. Bill
