257 R0berts with pad???
Do the above normally come with a recoil pad or would that indicate the stock has been cut?

I had a Remington 722 without a pad. What make/model are you asking about? 0 -
My .257 Roberts has a recoil pad...
So does my .250-3000 savage...
Come to think of it my .14 Donaldson wasp also has a pad.
Sometimes it's a matter of preference sometimes it's a necessity.

Do you mean 'recoil pad' (7/8" thick or more); or 'rubber butt pad' (1/2" thick or less)? 0 -
You need to measure the length of pull and then check out the manufactures specs for that weapon. I often add a thick pad to help make the firearm fit me. 0 -
Sometimes people put the recoil pad on just to prevent the rifle slipping when you put it in a corner or stand it up any where or secure it better in the shoulder.
Check first to see if the pad is an after market one or a factory installed one. That should tell you if it was an added pad but the length of pull could be just about anything - standard LOP is approximately 13.5 inches.0 -
You need to give us more information...the age of this rifle, make and model...lots of the newer models come with a thinner pad on, especially from semi custom/production manufacturer's. 0 -
I know that on special order Winchester would fit a rifle with a recoil pad 0 -

It depends on which manufacturer. My dads, Rem 722 did not have a pad. I've seen older pre-'64 Win 70's without them, and with them. I'm not sure when they changed.
The Ruger, I owned did. Same with the Win 70 Fwt. I don't know what the current Rem 700 CDL has, but I believe it does have a pad.
Suffice it to say most of the newer ones do, a lot of older ones don't.0
