Although not the most attractive of alternatives, he could use a removable ("slip-on") Galco-type pad. This would allow a suitable LOP increase for shooting without molesting the original factory butt treatment, which I think would significantly affect the value of the gun at resale.

On a Purdey, I would prefer a professionally installed horn buttplate of the desired thickness, checkered or grooved on the face.

What I like about a slip on pad is as a bonus it protects the butt and that part of the wood from scratches, dings, and wear.

A slip on pad as Kevin has suggested is better than nothing but keep in mind that whatever you do may affect the balance. I had Dewey Vicknair do a leather covered pad on my MX 28 and as all of his work came out superb.
