Evening folks!

Been lurking a bit, joined and now I'm going to bug ya'll with a question or 6 every now and again. Been out of the loop for a bit, so can anyone suggest a good recoil pad and WHERE to find it on the net? Seems there is quite a few names I don't know nowadays, and I can't really afford the wild experiment ride.
In case anyone wants to know or if it helps, I'll be shooting a Ruger M77 MkII stainless in .30-06. I used to be able to handle the round lovely, but my shoulder was damaged a few yrs ago and the recoil gets down right painful after just a few shots now. Looking to get the felt recoil low enough I can fool my mind's percieved recoil into thinking hardy .243'ish or fairly close abouts. I want to help a co-worker rid himself of his pests, as he calls them, on his ranch. I reckon one man's delicious deer and hogs is another's pests? [&:]
