I did the same for my daughter last year on a Remington 700. To put the recoil pad back on I cut a section of 2x6 and shaped it to fill in end of the stock. Took a bit of sanding and shaping with a belt sander but it worked. I then filled the opening of stock with spray foam and epoxied the wood piece in place. Then able to screw recoil pad ( which also had to be ground down to match stock) to wooden insert. It has held up through several shooting sessions and three hunts just great.
Did about the same thing as above, less the foam fill, with a single shot H&R 243 my son uses. Worked fine for several years as he grew, then this past season I bought a "stock" stock for it from H&R.
