Just wondering what you guys are reporting for "Felt Recoil" on the T3 Laminates????
Contemplating ordering a pre-fit Limbsaver for it, but would like to try it first to make sure, problem is cant get into range for atleast another month(snow)
Would it be wise to try it first and see, or just save the bother and order a Limbsaver?:confused:
 
My 300 wsm kicked like a mule, the limbsaver made it 100x better, the stock pad is a carved down hockey puck I think, I just picked up a 270 wsm and am debating getting a limbsaver before I even shoot it.
 
I put the Limbsavers on my 2 and sure don't regret it, even the smaller caliber, makes them a dream to shoot for everyone including the kids. What caliber are using?
 
Depends on the caliber and more importantly your sensitivity to recoil. I had a T3 light in 30-06 that was a real bell ringer, but my 223 was like shooting a pellet gun. I think the laminates are a bit heavier so it might not be too bad.

Let us know!

Its a 300wsm.
I have one in 270 as well as 22-250(see no need for one with the 270 though)
 
tape up the bottom of the stock, throw the recoil pad in the freezer overnight, install recoil pad, bust out an electric sander, and have at 'er. not complicated, just takes a little time and effort.

Goose what size of pre-fit did you use...small,medium or large???
 
A good recoil pad makes a huge difference, either the Pachmayr Decelerator or the Limbsaver. Why some guys are complaining about recoil is that they buy lightweight, or featherweight rifles so that they're easier to hike long distances with, and instead of getting them in calibres that get the job done but don't beat you up in a light rifle, they buy magnums, lol! Magnums should be heavy, which reduces the felt recoil, and as a result reduces flinching and makes many hunters more accurate shooters. If you buy a lightweight mountain rifle, the average hunter will find he'll be a more accurate shooter if he gets it chambered in .270, 7mm-08, .280, .308, etc.. It's just common sense...
 
People are all different, folks, and some guys can shoot a .458 Winchester with no problems associated with recoil, whereas some have trouble with a light rifle in 30.06.
My post was a general one for the average shooter...
