Recoil Pads
 

My 30-06 kicks like a mule. Anyone use recoil pads? Any recommendations? My local gun shop ordered a Remington pad for my rifle, but it doesn't fit so I'm returning it. Limbsaver makes good pads. Are they worth it? Do they work at all? Last time I shot a box thru my 06, my shoulder was red from the recoil.

What loads are you shooting? 150gr. 180gr.? Are you shooting in a T-Shirt?
LS pads work good, you still might have to trim it to fit your stock. Good Luck

Shooting Remington 150 grains.

Ihave Limb Savers on several of my rifles. IMO they're one of the better pads on the market.

Pachmayr or LimbSaver. For range work, get a padded vest or a shoulder (slip-on) pad such as Past.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

shoulder slip ons work well

The Limbsaver pad works excellent for me. Either a slip on or a custom fit or the cut to fit, all work about the same.

I have Limbsavers on my rifle and shotgun

Limbsavers work good. Another option is the Shooters Friend. Its a slip on that really works good.

+ 1 Pachmayr or LimbSaver

I use Pachmayr on all my shotguns and rifles.

Both Pachmayr and Limbsavers work well. The Pachmayrs look more like they belong on a wood stock and the Limbsavers look like they belong on the black tupperware stocks.

I prefer pachmayr's feel, looks and usabilty. However LS are more cushy and do appear to absorb a bit more then the pachmayr's. If you only have troubles at the range, like most do the another option is a Past pad (this is transferable to other guns & shooters). It works very well on the range and doesn't effect LOP in the field which can be an issue with slip ons or the ready fit (DYI) models for some shooters.

What kind of stock is on your rifle(assuming you have a Remington rifle)?

The limbsaver really tamed the recoil of my 870 turkey gun. It worked so well that I went and bought two more. Their customer service is second to none also.

It's a Remington. I bought a Pachmyr pad. That helped a lot.
