Limbsaver recoil pad?

Does anyone use one of these? I am going to be doing quite a bit of shooting this summer and was wondering if my shoulder would thank me If I got one. How well do they work? thank you

Yes, get one: the best $30 you'll ever spend! My .30-'06 came with one from the factory, my buddy's had a plastic butt plate. Absolutely no comparison in recoil when shooting them side-by-side.

There are enough other brands out there that your head can spin pretty quickly if you want to try to compare them all. I can assure you, though, that the Sims works, and works well.

Good luck,

put one on my inline muzzleloader and the first time i fired the rifle i thought it misfired because i didnt notice the kick. Also put one on my dads sidelock muzzleloader and he loves it.

My .338 ultra mag had a hard rubber pad on it when I bought it.I could sit down and shoot a box of shells and it would begin to hurt to the point thatI would want to quit. I really had to concentrate on shooting after a box of cartridges.

I installed a grind to fit Simms pad and the pain has disappeared completely from that rifle. You still have to mount the rifle properly so you don't scope yourself because the rifle will still move rearwardlike normalbut that simms pad absorbes the "slap" has taken all the pain from my shoulder. Shooting a box or three is no problem at all.

How do the Sims compare to the pachmyr decelerators?

my bro has a pachmyr decelerator on his .270 Its junk compaired to the limbsavers.

Works great. Turned the 270 into a 30-30

When I first got my .270 I shot a box through it in one sitting and felt like I had been bested in a fight. I went and got one of the slip on Sims and haven't looked back. I doubt I'll ever take it off. The extra 3/4" or so of length makes it a bit more comfy for me, too, since I have monkey arms.

Good grief, get one!!!!!
My grandpa put one on his Winchester Model 70 XTR in 30-06, and that thing used to kick so bad before, but he put the LimbSaver, and the thing's a plinker!
