I have been playing around with a couple different ideas on a better butt plate assembly for my Ghost. I tried the first iteration a couple weeks ago at my first field target match. Well, first with my own gun and gear 
I liked how the first one felt and how the rifle mounted to my shoulder, but decided to tweak it a little for version two.
Adjustable length of pull, via different thickness spacers. About 10 degrees of adjustment for cant, and about 1 inch of height available. I tried to get it as close to what I thought I'd like, so the adjustments are only for fine tuning. I have it pretty dialed in now, similar to chassis on a couple of my regular powder rifles.
Made from scrap oak, but different pieces had different grain and color. It didn't look right with the rest of the rifle, so I painted it with some hammer texture Krylon.
Had some leftover grip tape from a baseball bat for a couple soft rubber patches to make the rear plate less slippery.
I really like the way it turned out, and I have a couple scraps of 5052 aluminum that may go on the mill for version three.
I may thread a hole in the bottom for some type of bag rider, but mostly I am shooting from sticks.
Loving the Ghost, can't wait to try more field target matches!
Lots to figure out and improve on, but the rifle is awesome!!!
