daveh;
I'll begin with a hope that you had a Merry Christmas.
Awhile ago now I did a project where I put a 98 on a diet to see how light I could actually make one. Here is a link to the details.

For the life of me I can't recall the name of the gunsmith up there, but he was extremely helpful.
http://www.rockymountainrifles.com/faq.phpI used plain old glass bedding epoxy to glue the pad on my Wildcat Composites stock, but others use 5 minute epoxy with success so I've been able to understand.
As noted, the pad from Corlanes bumped an even 3 oz off the rifle as compared to a Decelerator.
I should note that the Decelerator is my "go to" pad these days for anyone who I put a recoil pad on for - unless they are going for extreme lightweight jobs - well or tilting at a windmill like I was trying to see how light a 98 can be!
Hopefully that was some use to you. Good luck whichever way you decide and good luck with your project.
All the best to you in 2012.
Regards,
Dwayne
