Wow; interesting way to try to make a pad fit the stock
. Although at least they chopped the pad. I once drove to the KC Cabela's to look at what was purported to be a nice little Hunter Arms 20ga, and when I got there the stock had been whittled on just like that to match a replacement butt plate that was too small. I always said it looked like it had been done with a hatchet. That fact had not been mentioned in the gun's description nor during the conversations I'd had with the Cabela's folks when I expressed interest in the gun and had it shipped in from another store.
They wouldn't bargain at all on their asking price despite the stock damage so obviously I passed. I was pretty disappointed, and then my wife said, "Why don't you just buy that Fox; that's the one you really want anyway?" God I love that woman!
