Wood or synthetic? Limbsaver makes a pad for the synthetic adult stock, I don't know if it will fit the youth stock or not. See the Limbsaver master templates to see if they have one that will fit it or come close, follow their instructions to print them to scale. Next best choice would be a slip-on, the small Limbsaver has been available at Walmart for under $20, remove the H&R pad to maintain LOP.

I used a Limbsaver on my sons first handi, but I cut the stock and installed it because he's a short feller like his father and the LOP was too much with just the add-on.
He's growed sum since then,,I took the factory cushon pad  off a monty carlo and put a plain rubber on it to adjust LOP for both of us,,maybe that'll work for ya.

My 22 Hornet Compact Superlite had a 11 3/4 LOP on the compact stock. I added a Limbsaver slip-on and it increased the LOP to 12 3/4, still well short of the 14 1/4 standard LOP. This allowed all three of us to shoot more or less comfortably - me 5'10", my 15yo 5'7" and my 14yo 5'5". It was a perfect fit for my 14yo.

I used the slip-on Limbsaver on my son's youth stock, removed the factory pad and length of pull stayed the same.  The Limbsaver really does reduce the felt recoil, dramatically.
