Wise decision, Allan. How many times have you seen a gun, with a freshly installed recoil pad, and noticed the wood is significantly lighter for about 2" forward of the pad? All it takes is one tiny slip up, and you've gone too far.
It's always wise to wrap a layer of masking tape around the stock, and do your power sanding up to the tape, then hand finish till you've gotten it flush.
