I am picking out pads right now for a sxs shotgun and a 338 I own to replace the factory pads...for the Shotgun it is getting a SC100 Pachmayr decelerator and the rifle is getting a Sims grind to fit pad.... The sims pad is so soft that I think it would not work well in a shotgun that you have to shoulder...just look at all the pads the other mfrs put out and they have some made specifically for field and skeet/target shotguns.
