Altering Repros, does it make a difference?

Notice the LOP didn't really change much on the cabela's gun. That is a seldom seen configuration and I agree the price is high.

Look at the pictures. The Cabela's gun still has a slope on the top of the stock leading to the pad. It is absolutely ugly. You can't get rid of the skeleton butt and add length, end of story.

You may be right, Bill, but not necessarily in all cases. The Cabela's gun at 14 1/2" wears a thin pad. Here's a pic of the butt end of my SCC with an added Silver's pad, it has a 14 3/4" LOP. I do not know what it measured originally, but unless it was ordered with custom dimensions or had a ST stock installed on this DT gun (as some did), you can bet it was shorter than 14 3/4". It shows absolutely no visible clues of ever having a SSBP installed. Do I wish it still sported its original SSBP? In the words of our favorite candidate, Sarah Palin . . . "You betcha!"
