Sure it has a recoil pad but I will buy every Pre-64 in reasonably good condition that I can find up here for what would be $500.00 without the scope.

You should think about doing what I did. I had pre64win.com swap the barrel and the stock to turn my 1954 Standard into a Featherweight. Lot better handling rifle. And it dropped a lot of weight. They have excellent barrels, stocks and any other part you need. I highly recommend them.

Nice rifle you have there.
