Here is another option to reduce the felt recoil of that magnum. Send it to KDF for a mercury recoil reducer and/or muzzle brake.
The mercury recoil reducer will add about 4 oz. to the overall weight of the rifle, but will really tame the punch to your shoulder. I have a friend who sent his Marlin 45-70 to them because he said the rifle was "un-shootable". He got it back, took it to the range, and is VERY happy with it. If you are only going to go this route, you can just send them the stock.
A muzzle brake will also tame the recoil, but will add length to the rifle, and a deafening blast to those around you. It is more of a compromise than the other option.
Their website is www.kdfguns.com They are in TX, just outside of San Antonio.
