I have a synthetic stock, Bell & Carlson maybe?

Mounted to a P-14 action which is chambered in .458WM. There is a definite slope rear-to-front and that one plain beats me up. Yes, it's a 458 but, even with mild loads, it beats on my cheek. Not so much anymore but I used to be a regular recoil glutton. Dad once built a .458 on a '98 Mauser with the express goal of "making it as light as possible". I seem to recall he got it down in the 7-1/2# vicinity. Upon touching it off, my first words were, "Can I do it again?" As an aside, I wonder what happened to that one...

Not sure what to do with mine at the moment. I am tempted to try it with a straight comb to see what that does but there are many, many other projects ahead of that.
