    Butt pads, eh? Possibly the most unfortunately named shooting accessory!

    But.....I think you need a nice, upmarket one to compliment that quality stock, J.

    Could always approach a leather craftsman and see if they'll make one, decent layered hide with maybe a Nappa outer for comfort and stamped with a mark unique to you or the Gun.

    This stocks fitting holes are quite close together so I've had to redrill the bottom one as the butt isn't that wide on the stock ......I have a hw98 pad here that looks nice but is too large though and there's no meat on it to grind it down

    I have Bisley/Gun Tough modified pads on all long guns including shotguns. I make a card template of the stock end then grind the aluminium butt pad to size. I use the original thread holes in the recoil pad & drill & chamfer the holes in the adjustable aluminium mount using another card template. The hardest part to keep neat is drilling the recoil pad centrally to allow access to the Bisley/Gun Tough adjustment screw...

    Addendum :
    I have just seen another clone by GMK
