[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 368633, member: 6152"] John lives in Norther Ontario and I live in the states. I wish He was closer so I could have shaped it to his hand. My suggestion would be to remove a little wood at a time using a half round bastard file until you get the desired feel. Then follow with the usual sanding regime to remove the file marks. It's all what your hand likes. Slimming the grip on the sides is no problem, but removing more material in the tang area or the "neck" may compromise the structural integrity of the stock. Your stock has a 3 way adjustable recoil system that adds weight to the butt, the last thing you want to do is weaken the "fulcrum area". [/QUOTE]
