Big recoil pad?

[X Count]

Putting a stock together for a repeater to be shot off a bipod and rear bag. Aiming to have a fair bit of drop from the grip to the heel of the stock to allow vertical adjustments. To keep grip of decent height and still have a decent drop without making a large cutout at the back of the grip which would foul on the bag it's going to mean the recoil pad will be 7" or more high and roughly 1.5" wide.

Are there any recoil pads available that big that don't go to jelly in the safe?

I don't know of any that tall, if you need some adjustment go with a Morgan Adj. Pad. Up/down is about it and easy to grind to fit, their cast from pot metal, may work for you.

Yeah, You have to select the right pad because some of them have a metal plate inside of them and if the pad you selected isn't large enough you wind up grinding through the plate.

Research it good before you buy one and waste your time and money.

Just make a “step down” at the rear. This stock has one:

It was the first pic I could find to illustrate my thought and yeah…..I am proud of that one! It’s the only one like it in existence!

Yeah that's a thought. I've been jumping in and out of your DIY stock making thread for some ideas. Great and different way of doing things.

I'm going to model it up and see what it looks like before cutting any trees down.

That stock butt is a direct copy of a Tikka hunter stock I have. Lots of manufacturers use that design detail.
Here’s another few. By the way, Pachmeyer is my favorite pad!

Pachmeyer is my favorite pad!

Me too, and I've tried most of the other options.
Not saying that all the others are bad, I just prefer Pachmyer.
