If you are looking to reduce recoil you should cut your original stock off, and add one of those spring loaded metal recoil thing-a-ma-jigs, then some porting, and then add the lengthened forcing cones. As long as it is there get the release tigger, for the flinch you developed. You may actually get half of that back when you sell. Almost forgot the adjustable comb, and pad. If the gun don't fit it is going to wack you. Do this all at once, so your gun is only gone for a month. Then when you still feel the recoil, and are missing targets, you can sell it for pennies on the dollar for what you have in it. Just a suggestion. Or you can spend the $2500 on a new custom fit stock. You will still loose money when you sell, but it will look awesomely nice, IMO. That would be where my money would go.
