I'll admit, I have never given it much thought. Being one of my work horses I never really thought about its looks.BamAlmighty,
That stock is too nice to cover up with that slip on pad. From what I can see it has some really nice grain to it.
Ever consider a screw on pad?
I have XS Lever Rails on both '95s which I like. I can use the XS iron sights, a scope mounted in the normal position or a red dot/scout scope with extended eye relief.

The .096" is GREAT for 100-150 yards on game...it really is (quick, easy, and accurate enough)
But I think .080" would be better for me for those 200-300 yards hail Mary shots...on game.
If paper targets are your plan...I'd go even smaller, maybe .065", but then you'd want a thinner blade up front, which Skinner also offers.
