That rifle should be spoken for by now, hopefully someone here. If I didn't already have one in stainless I wouldn't have posted, I woulda been calling! I haven't swapped pads on mine but I don't find it too objectionable to shoot, of course I may have more natural "padding" on my shoulder than some, lol. I've found I'd rather shoot my .338 than my .300 mag in an identical rifle.
