Frank the reduced recoil loads should be able to be had for around 20 or a shade less. The R3 is the Remington factory recoil reduction pad. It comes stock on most of the new Remmys now. Sims makes the R3 for Remmy as well as the Limbsaver so any is as good as the other. Keep us updated on how it shoots. Sorry for the delay I havent been able to get on much in the last week.
