Lets say I happen to pick up a 454.
I do not like the stock set, mostly the recoil pad.
Will the standard butt stock fit ?

I can't tell you if the standard butt will fit, however.....
Have shot the 454?
You might end up not being so quick to remove the recoil pad. It will let you know that you have pulled the trigger...

Have not shot the 454 cartridge, however I don't see it kicking as much as 45-70 and I have shot it several times. Also I shoot my 03A3 with steel butt plate in cast matches and don't start noticing until after about 50 rounds or so. Still not that bad though.
I just hate the look of the recoil pad on the 454

RD can say for sure but I'm pretty certain the butts are interchangeable between calibers.

Make smoke

I'm a wuss. My hot .357s hurt me after 10 rounds with a steel plate. Ha

On my rifles 357 Mag through 480 Ruger, all the stocks are interchangable.

Groo here
The 454 can drive a 300gr bullet at 1600 from a 7 1/2 in revolver!!!!!!
Add 300 to 400 fps for the rifle, and remember the 454 runs at upwards of 60000psi.
The kick from a 5lb gun will make a "hot" 45-70 300gr seem mild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you would like to trade one if you pick up a 454, I will send you my standard if you send me your one with a recoil pad. The only thing is I do not want one with black wood.

The 454 can push a 300 grain bullet at upwards of 1800 fps from a 7 1/2 in revolver. The rest of your post is spot on.

I'm surprised ranchdog hasn't chimed in here. 454 casull kicks harder than a hot 45-70. Negative ghost rider, come by my place and take a couple of shots with my Ruger #1 launching a 350gr hard cast @2400 fps with 4000 ft/lbs of energy and you might think differently. I promise you it will knock your fillings out! However you might enjoy it and become a Ruger #1 fan like me. By the way I have a 92 454 casull also.
