Matt, My LOP was cut to 13” though the edges were rounded so I believe that it would have to be cut back to a flat surface at 12 ¾” for a recoil pad. I don’t think a recoil pad would give me my ideal LOP, but I may consider it. Based on a PGCA member’s recommendation, I put in a ¼” thick piece of felt into my slip on pad and have my LOP at about 14”. I can live with that while I get to know the gun shooting sporting clays. I really don’t notice the slip on pad at all while I am shooting.
The original LOP on my gun was 14 ¼” which is perfect for me. A stock extension by Mark Larson with a DHBP has been recommended by several people on the forum. I do like that idea, as it would bring the stock back to its original dimensions, which happen to be a good fit for me.
I am hoping a few PGCA members will get to see the gun before I make any final decisions.
Have fun with your “new” 20!
