There are several pads that would look good on it, and give you more LOP, without harming the original dimensions of the wood. I like the period style pads, Hawkins, Jostam, Silvers, etc.

I'm getting a little anxious about my 32" DHE getting back to me for the mid and late upcoming dove seasons. It's off having the triggers tuned and has been gone, along with my Elsie 32" 16 ga., for several months with no word. I don't really expect to hear anything until they're done, but I sure want to see Jim Kelly's name pop up on my cell phone screen!

Hope you enjoy it!

Yep, your right

You guys have convinced me and at that saved me some bucks. It stays as is. That savings will go towards ammo for it and I may need to add some LOP with a slim pad. Any suggestions for pad ?

Thanks.....

I have seen this done, and the results look good.
