[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1602457, member: 879"] Back to the Original Poster--who really gave good advice. So-called "recoil pads" have been marketed for decades that did very little to reduce felt recoil. That is why so many in this thread dismiss "recoil pads" because they have tried Pachmayer and a dozen others over the years without any real benefit. Most folks assume (without knowing) that the Limbsaver pad is no better than the others. My first experience with it began when it was a brand new product and I was looking for some way to make my Benelli Super Black Eagle I tolerable with 3.5" Heavyshot Turkey Loads. The factory Benelli "recoil pad" was no different than all the other so-called recoil reducing products. It was painful. I was so surprised when I tried Sims Labratories Limbsaver, I had to shoot several of the 3.5" Heavier than lead loads just to believe it. Killed many Gobblers since then. Then I put a Limbsaver on my .270 WSM. So much more pleasant. I shot groups at 200 Yards (TWO Hundred) that measured less than 0.73". Four three shot groups over several years and she is still way sub-MOA at 300 yards even with some wind. Then I put a Limbsaver on my .300 Win Mag and another on my Dad's .270 WSM and another on my Son's Tikka T3 .30-06. No, I don't work for Limbsaver or sell them. But anyone who doesn't put a Limsaver on their heavy kicking guns is missing out. Reduced felt recoil does makes for more pleasant and more accurate shooting for people who are still willing to improve. But some folks are dumbasses and will never improve their shooting because you can't fix stupid. Every single one of my hard kicking guns are easier to shoot well with a Limbsaver. Lots of folks won't change because they shoot well enough with what they have. Well, if you don't want to shoot better, don't try it. [/QUOTE]
