    It depends on the gun. There are no "standards" for stock dimensions, & there are no "standards" for scope height above the bore.

    If you bought a custom made gun, you could have your dealer "fit" you with a "try gun" which has movable parts on the stock.

    I'd ballpark it at about 1/2", but the exact number is going to depend on the exact pad, its thickness, how its installed, and your particular anatomy.
