Just a short while ago, I canvassed the members here for recommendation on a good recoil pad for my .338WM. the Limbsaver pad and the Kick-Eze pads both got very good reviews. Finding something to fit my M695 though was quite a task until I found a Calgary gunsmith who stocked both and could install my choice in short order. When I delivered my stock for the retrofit, he showed me this little device and offered it as an option. He didn't brag it up too much but got me in contact with another fellow who has one installed on his .300RUM. He compared his RUM to a mild .270. I took the plunge and got my stock back yesterday, took it out shooting today and here is my feedback:

To say that recoil is reduced to that of a .270 is an understatement. My 338 is now reduced to a gentle "push" rather than a nasty wacky #####y bark. I don't even think that making a comparison to a .270 is fair, as some .270's depending on loads can get a little nasty themselves. Would you ever shoot gophers with a .338 - all day long ??? Probably not, but now I could if I chose to. Absolutely AMAZING is all I gotta say.

does that not get caught up in your coat? I've seen lots of these on O/U skeet/trap guns but none on a hunting rig.
 
I honestly can't answer that question, I was shooting with it for the 1st time today, in a Tee-shirt mind you. I can't see that it will be a problem, at least not for me.
 
Again, I have no personal experience. I imagine that it is no more affected by weather and dirt than your rifle's action or scope is. It is fully adjustable and strippable for cleaning. The maker is an avid hunter who has taken bison, elk and plenty of African game with it. Yesterday, I saw a picture of his lion with the rifle resting on it, so it definitely seems to stand up to real field use.
 
I did a bit on the bare stock, not so on the complete gun. The difference in recoil reduction is incredible. Face it, you wouldn't put it on your 6 lb. sheep gun, but you might just appreciate it on your bigger rifles.
 
I don't know what he calls it.....how about we call it an ARRS, for Amazing Recoil Reduction System :D It cost me $350.00 installed, tax in. It was well spent (for me anyways). PS (I'm not a salesman, nor do I get any kick backs) just sharing something that I am very pleased with.
 
I don't know what it might be called now but it used to be called the Hydra-coil back in the '70's. It is pretty effective if you like the looks. It would be right at home on the average tactical rifle where homely is a plus!
The only time performance is compromised is in very cold weather when oil viscosity increases greatly. Anyone who hunts in -40 is tough enough they don't need recoil reduction anyway! Regards, Bill.
 
I think that the shock absorber comparison is valid.
The ones for trap take the recoil & spread it over a longer period of time. You cannot change the law of physics but you can play with it a bit.
The same amount of recoil spread over a longer period of time feels much less that a big quick fast kick. Years ago some of the units had big tubes of mercury in them. Now it is probably springs & hydraulics.
But they do work.
