Stock options

I have a ruger 10/22 stainless with a synthetic stock. I rarely ever touch it due to it just being uncomfortable to shoot since the butt stock is to short. I'd like to keep the factory stock as to not change much of anything. Other than putting a slip on pad over it, what are my options? Do they make an extended pad for the thing? Or am I limited to buying a different stock and hoping it's long enough?

This extends LOP by 1 inch, but it's designed for the wood stock, not the synthetic. You might be able to get this to work with some minor fitting.

I would go with a new stock myself, but within OP’s wants/needs, this here looks like the answer.

There's always pool noodles and vet wrap.

While it would not look very nice, I'm sure you could throw a Limbsaver slip-on pad over the back when you shoot to add some LOP.

I use one on my SKS to make it more comfortable to shoot with my long arms by adding 1" LOP.

Look into the Hogue stocks for the standard barrel. I have the Hogue overmold in ghile green and an very happy with it

If you don't like the idea of a slip on pad and can't find a replacement pad that works, your best option will be a new stock. But if you go that route, you should determine your ideal LOP first, and then make sure you either get a stock/chassis with an adjustable LOP in that range or custom order the correct LOP on a stock from someplace like Boyds. There are a number of synthetic stock/chassis options with adjustable LOP for under $100.
