Way too thin. Way too hard.
Yep, they did it right with the Scout. Shorter stock, thicker pad and adjustable plates to slide in/out to get your length of pull right.
With how thin the factory Ruger pads are, once you add a 1" thick Kick-Eez or Pachmayr length of pull can be too long for some.
For the Hawkeyes, they need to shorten the butt plate and thicken the factory pad too I reckon.
The thicker pads like on Tikka and Remington are much better IMO.
