Pachmayr pre-fit recoil pad .for a 742 bdl remington - Pachmayr Pre-Fit Decelerator Recoil Pads

Optics planet on -line says a Remington 700 ADL Pachmaytr recoil pad will fit near perfect on a Remington 742 BDL . I just received the pad for my 742 Remington BDL . Although it's a beautiful pad , the pad absolutely will not fit . The pad is 1/4 inch way too short . Had it been 1/4 inch longer , it could have been ground to fit . I waited 9 days to receive . Not worth the effort , and nor the judgement on Optics Planet's part as having it displayed as such to perfect fit on their review section . Total waste of my time .
