Recoil pads

[pathfinder76]

I prefer Pachmayr 10 to 1

The Limbsavers are great at reducing recoil, but I still prefer the Decellerator on a hunting rifle, because they shoulder better , when I have to shoot quickly.

I just bought a shoulder pad. Save me having to buy a pad for every gun that needs one.

You bring a rifle to the shoulder with a soft rubber pad compare to a hard one or a plastic but plate and the soft rubber pads are not as smooth to come up, catches/grabs a bit more the clothings I find!

There are several recoil pads for shotguns on the market that have a hard section on the comb to mitigate that .
They work well for rifles as well.

I only have one rifle with a limbsaver. It works great, but has that gummy bear texture, which is unorthadox to my favorite recoil pad, the Pachmayr decelerator.

The Pachmayr pads don't seem to be readily available where as the Limbsavers seem to have many popular models available amdbready for shipping in Canada.

The Calgary Shooting Center in Calgary has a good supply of the Pachmayrs.

Find the Pachmayr Old English style pads better looking but not as effective as they don't have the same internal construction.

Those Old English are my all time favorite. There might be better but they are very good pads and look good on a classic gun.

I'm a fan of both the Limbsavers and Decelerators. I have both on multiple rifles. The Limbsavers are definitely a bit squishier, I have on my Tikkas and a Browning X-bolt. I'm also partial to the good old Bell and Carlson Medallist stocks, just a solid (if a bit heavy) synthetic, and they ship with Decelerators.

I have an old Winchester pad that I pulled off a Model 70 from the early '90s, it has a Goodyear logo on it.
