Painful (in the) Butt Stock (Read 222 times)

	I have a couple rifles with hooked (Swiss?) butt plates; one is a Helm Pattern. These are great for offhand shooting, but for load development off a bench these are painful . I tried removing the butt plate and installed a lace on, leather recoil pad, but I was concerned about chipping the thin part of the rear of the stock. Any suggestions on making this more used friendly?

	I made a butt plate out of some plate steel while I try to find a Swiss plate that is wide enough for my rifle. You could cut the top prong off the Swiss plate too and reshape it

	I have a reproduction Winchester buttplate that's a Swiss style like the Special Sporting used Mike. They had two different length returns on the top, and if you measure yours from the end of the stock to end of the return I can check it against mine. It could have the prongs cut off and shaped, and would make a better benchrest buttplate to easily swap out for that shooting and save your Helm. I gave $30 for it here years ago, and would let it go for the same if you can use it?
