I really dig that scale stamp! Quick question though, why didn't you pad the butt of the rifle stock? That is where it would really help absorb the recoil.

The customer wanted it so

[CaptQuirk]

Well, ok. That sort of explains it. Those customers ask for weird stuff sometimes

Ive done a couple rifle stock covers (nowhere as nice) that they didnt care about the butt being padded, they just wanted to reposition there site angle. It is ecspecially common on those old mosin-nagants because of the scope location requirement.

I don't have much experience with stock covers, but that one looks like the top is covered for cheek padding. It also looks like a large bore shotgun, and that is what is really confusing me.

Couldnt say, maybe they have a shoulder padded vest/jacket but there eyes are too far apart

That is a thought that never occurred to me. I'm a rifle hunter, and need a pad on my 30-30, specially after having a power port for chemo put in my right chest... just about where the butt rests. Recoil wasn't too bad before, but can really hurt now.
