I recently put the Remington R3 pad on my 870 Super Mag 12 gauge to better deal with the mega-kick of 3 1/2" magnum(b) turkey loads with 2oz. payloads. The difference between the stock solid hard rubber 870 pad and the R3 (which is made by Sims and is identical to the Limbsaver recoil pad with the Remington name on it) is like night and day. The darn 3.5" shells will still loosen ones teeth no matter what pad one uses, but the Limbsaver REALLY helps.
