Hi all,
I posted this question over on the Lever action forum also. I have an 1895 Marlin 45-70 that is a great shooter and a real thumper. The problem is the scope mounting system - it sits too high for me. Part of the problem is the scope system and the other part is the drop in the stock. My cheek barely touches the stock. Does anyone make a replacement with less drop at the heel than the original stock? Has anyone added a pad to the comb to bring it up? Any ideas? Thanks.
