[QUOTE="spdrman, post: 511218, member: 34092"] I seen no need to replace the factory Savage recoil pad if you go with the 111, Im not stuck on one make of rifles and own a little of everything Remingtons, Rugers, Savage, Winchester and Howa, out of all my rifles this is the first one I havent put a sims aftermarket recoil pad on, I see no need for it and if i could id buy the Savage pad and put on all my other rifles its amazing, As far as managable recoil if you are considering the 111 LRH combine there recoil pad with there muzzle break and you wont have an issues with worring about it "breaking your shoulder" Im 6'1" weigh 175 pounds and I can shoot my 111 off a bench or prone with the break on and stay on target with my scope on 14 power, my 243 barely does that and I cant stay on target with my 300 win mag on 4 power, that right there says the rifle soaks up a huge amount of recoil, with all that great technology in the rifle why buy a smaller caliber when you can shoot a magnum just as comfortably I have tracked a few "dead" elk that we where never able to find and that is about the most sick feeling in the world, would a bigger caliber have killed those elk, I dont know, but having more kinetic energy wouldnt have hurt anything, especially if you where to hit one in the shoulder, shooting perfect holes in paper is easy but you get a big bull elk in your cross hairs and get your blood pumping things can happin, so for a do all rifle, especially for elk hunting id suggest starting out with a magnum and a muzzle break and in the future when you can afford another gun buy a small caliber to plink with [/QUOTE]
