Probably one of the slip on recoil pads would be the easiest. They also add a little slip resistance.

I simply unscrew the pad from stock, use some black delrin spacers with longer screws ... wa-la simple adjustable LOP on the cheap.

I cut a stock too short once and needed to gain an inch back.  I used a Pachmayer slip on recoil pad which works like a charm to this very day.

I cut a mahogany spacer for my 853 which entailed removing the plate, tracing the profile, cutting out, fitting, finishing, and finally done.  Not too hard but dependent on tools, materials, time, and skill.

I have slip-on recoil pads to increase the LOP on almost every air rifle I own.  Quick, easy and cheap.  Plus, you can easily remove them when letting a smaller person shoot your rifle.

Here's how I did it on my two CMP 853's.  I really need to strip the sporter stock and stain it to match.

HaHa seems like an easy way to increase length of pull is to buy a Hatsan... they all seem to have very long LOPs... :o

...and some models are supplied with spacers to make it even longer!

I was laughing at the difference in size between my Hatsan 125 Sniper .25 and my Beeman R7 .177 today.

Phil, If it were me I would make that.
Just cut a piece of aluminum plate and two bends in a vise, then two pieces of aluminum tube with longer butt pad screws.
Some fuzzy side of velcro or adhesive backed foam strip for the pad and done.

I got a bench top jig saw, but have cut up to 1/4" aluminum plate with a hand scroll (saber) saw.
