[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1358868, member: 103303"] I have fabricated custom spacers for some of my rifles. They fit between the recoil pad and the butt of the stock. Some new rifles come with plastic spacers for adjustment. A scrap of old growth fir (or a hardwood of some kind), a belt sander, pencil and paint is all that is required, beyond the screwdriver to remove/reinstall the recoil pad. I like to get the pad as perpendicular to the barrel as possible. Easy to test by resting the butt end of the rifle on a flat floor and observing how 'plumb' the barrel is. I can accommodate different clothing/terrain this way. Most of my shooting is from sitting or standing, so I optimize LOP for that and just stuff a glove between my shoulder and the rifle for prone or uphill situations. I find sitting to be the trickiest in terms of keeping the rifle level, and an adjustable stock provides the greatest benefit in this position. That's more of a rotational thing than LOP though.
