Default Recoil pad installation?

Does anyone know of someone in the extreme south west corner of the province that can do a good job of installing a grind to fit recoil pad on a finished stock? Thanks.

Limbsaver airtech has a whole bunch of different sizes, and they provide dimensions with templates on their website. This might be an option instead if the trouble of the grind to fit style.

Rod Henrickson did a great job on a rifle for me. He also shortened the stock slightly to maintain the length of pull.

I have always done my own, but use lots of tape to protect the stock juts in case.

Sights and Arms St Albert did a very nice cut and grind for me. IMO Pachmayr grind to fit the only way to go.

Limbsaver and kickeez pads do not finish up as nice as pachmyr. As well Sometimes the edges of the rubber chip out as well

If you have any luck. I'm also looking for someone to do a recoil pad on a 1950's superposed 20g.

Hillbilly Arms in Nanton has installed a couple of recoil pads for me and I’m happy with the results.
