RE: Sims Limbsaver recoil pads
I have a nice cushy pachmayr on my weatherby....
bought a sims for my abolt...haven't tested it yet, but anythign thick and squishy should do a better job than a thin solid rubber pad...
and i know my .300 win mag abolt with the thin rubber pad kicked harder than my .340wby with the big soft pad...so I'm quite certain they work.

My gunsmith says not to waste your money on a "dead Mule", mercurey rod, etc.
Says, "all it does is add weight".

RE: Sims Limbsaver recoil pads
I have both pachmayr decels and sims on my guns. IMO the sims does more due being more cushy then the pachmayr.However Ifind the sims catches on clothing(especially fleece) where as my pachmayrs don't. Seeing your putting it on a 12ga if your planning on wing or trap shooting where faster shouldering/acquires are needed I would be inclined to check a pachmayr grind to fit out. If this is for a slug gun then the sims should be fine.
As mentioned adding weight will reduce felt recoil. I use to fill my savage smokeless MLsynth. stock with 2 small bags of lead shot for shooting robust loads off the bench in the summer. As I was replacing it with a custom wood stock, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the POS but stillneededit to bea functional ginnie pig

Synthetic stocks on high powered rifles SUCK [&o]period as far as recoil goes. If you are recoil shy, stay away from and synthetic stock and go with glass filled or laminate or genuine wood for more weight and less recoil. Synthetic is nice if your on the side of a mountain 20,000 ft up for carrying but not for recoil. JMO
