I was in the same boat with a win 95 in 405. I was working up loads and shooting off a bench which was fairly miserable. I put a slip on Limbsaver pad. It really helped and added about an inch to the length of pull which turned out to be better too.

A few years back I put a Butler slip on pad on my 336 in 30-30 for the grandkids.  Works great.  The limbsaver is a great option.

The Limbsaver grind-to-fit is a great product.  Does not detract from firearm looks at all.  Have one on my 336 30-30.

I tried the Limbsaver pre-fit pad that is supposed to fit a Marlin 444 stock.  It is close but not exact enough for me.  I sent the new pad along with the buttstock to Limbsaver and had them put a grind-to-fit pad on for me.  Wow what a difference.  Not a scratch on the stock either.  Beautiful workmanship.  Fast turnaround time.  I have Limbsavers on all my big boomers.

Turnaround from east to west coast was about three weeks.  Two weeks of that was UPS time.  There is a new style of pad with anti-muzzle jump technology and you might be lucky enough to have a large enough buttstock to get one of those installed.  Something about the pad size vs. the technology they can offer.  IIRC the cost was about $100.  Pads are about $35 to $40 retail in the store.
