Good news, I put the tip of the top of the recoil pad just under my collar bone as suggested and, like magic, I didnt feel a thing. I can shoot all day long in the prone position now, thanks everyone.
Easy come easy go

How did you get the old butt pad off? Did you just cut it and then sand the remainder off the end of the stock? Did the new pad make a noticeable difference?


If it is glued on like on the HS stocks, put the stock in the freezer over night.  Then get a putty knife or small chisel and gently tap it and the glue will break loose and it will fall right off. 
That's what I did. It works pretty well...just take your time lining up the chisel at first. Getting it right in the seam will usually help the whole thing pop off in one or two hits.

Now you tell me. Sunday I finally ended up sawing the thin hard red butt plate that was glued on off my older A-bolt. Installed the Limbsaver my daughter gave me for fathers day.  Whacko

The saw works fine. It's a 1938 Craftsman 10"Cast Iron table saw. The 80 tooth blade cut smooth as silk. Attached the Llimbsaver. With only minor sanding on the pad base it fits like it was made for it. The LOP fits me better too.

You could also look into getting a PAST Recoil Shield when bench/target shooting in addition to the Limbsaver.  I absolutely have to use one when sighting the 375 RUM otherwise it is just downright nasty.  Here's a couple of links with some info if you're interested:
