I will use the same method as above except; After marking the length, I'll score (1/16" deep) around the line with a utility knife and cut behind it (the side of the line closest to the butt) with a fine toothed wood saw. I'll use a metal file to flatten the butt (leave painters tape on) in liue of the belt sander and finish with 400-600 grit sand paper (wood block) to smooth out tooling marks.
FYI- For those of you that don't feel comfortable in cutting your stock, you can use rings with offsets (like Nikon P-series rings) if you don't mind how it will look.
