I have a long geared cousin who put a hunk of 2X4 on his Lee Enfield for Moose hunting. Looked like hell, but it worked.
Later had a custom stock made for it.
I also have a longer length of pull, between an inch and a half and two inches longer than usual.
What I have done, is find rifles that come with a steel but plate, and put a thick pad on instead. Other than that, and my custom rifle, I usually just put up with it. I've sold rifles because of it though. That short pull on a hard kicking rifle can be brutal.
Years back there was a slip on pad you could get. also looked like hell, but it worked too.
Edit: Just checked Amazon, and ebay, those slip on pads are still out there, and they look a lot better than they used to.

I had similar issue with a couple guns and contacted Jon the Leathercrafter on CGN as per this post:

Could not be happier with them. Custom sized and look real classy. A word of caution is to make your measurements of stock circumference then add a little as is better to be a little longer than too short with the leather as it wraps around. Can request whatever amount of padding to gain the length you want.

Making a spacer is not difficult, you can probably even find wood to match. Take off buttpad and scribe on a piece of wood or other suitable material, leave a little extra for angle of stock. Cut with jig saw. Drill holes for screws, protect stock with masking tape and have at it with a belt sander.
