You try it as is for awhile to see if you can live with that buttstock pad. It might be just fine. That Sako is fairly heavy and with the rolling recoil of the H&H, it might be an non-issue.
Yep, I'd rather shoot my .375 H&H, weighing around 9#'s all up with scope, than a 7# .300 Weatherby. One pushes, one slaps. I'd rather be pushed than slapped.
