    I've got an 85 SS standardweight with that same butt.
    Have you taken the butt off yet ?
    philips screwdriver to butt screws.
    push real firmly on the top screw and a plastic hook on the flexible frame inside will disengage from a counter hook on the pseudo cheek piece.
    Undo the sling swivel to release the lower part of the internal frame.
    Note that the butt isn't waterproof and if you submerse it will fill up and then run out through the action.
    Put a wodge of siicone sealant between the butt cavity and the bedding screw void. Also consider sealing all jois with silicone when reassembling.
    I couldn't see a tidy way of replacing it with a flat aftermarket butt plate.
    That butt pad is real nice, has withstood much use as a walking stick, deals with recoil well, tolerates varied position and front rests / bipod with same POI.
    I used a T3 lite in the same caliber in the weekend and it kicked a lot more (could have been partly a lighter gun).
    I'd suggest staying with your current strange looking but works well butt pad and save for another stock.
