Recoil pad
I brought a 300 mag in a light weight rifle (Rem 700). What is the best recoil reducing shoulder pad? Any other tips for general shooting, non hunting.
I thought it best to have a shoulder pad when doing a lot of practice shooting. I will go without when hunting. Do some of the recoil pads show a big difference in reduction over some of the others? I am also thinking about putting a break on the gun if the recoil is still too much but won't unless absolutely necessary. Which is the best break? Thank you!!! |
The best recoil pad is a muzzel brake. LMAO!!
The second best recoil pad is a Limbsaver. I like them a lot. You can also buy a pad that you wear instead of the rifle. Alot of guys wear them at the range. If you can handle the noise a muzzle brake is the way to go. It will take away up to 50 percent of the recoil if you get the right one. I like the looks and the performance of the Holland brake myself. |
No muzzle breaks for me & I move away from anyone at the range who uses one (way too loud) !
I use a pachmayr decelerator recoil pads on my rifles and shotguns. Often, I also cut down the stocks to shorten the LOP before installing the new pad. |
One myth about the muzzle brake is....it takes away performance from your rifle/bullet performance. That is just flat out wrong. You won't lose any performance at all.

How do you guys stand using a muzzle break when hunting? At the range you can wear ear plugs, but I don't wear them hunting. I got a Browning BAR .30-06 with the BOSS muzzlebreak years ago. The first time I shot a deer it split my ears. I had ringing like I had been at a concert for hours. I immediately replaced the break with a solid piece and can now hear the action work and the empty brass hit the leaves below my stand. I will never again use a muzzle break on a hunting rifle.

Just get a magnum Past recoil (strap on your shoulder) pad for the range. For hunting, recoil is seldom an issue.

Kick-Ezz pads are great!

I have found the Limbsavers to be the best at reducing recoil but I like the Pachmyr Decellerator better. They reduce recoil almost as well as the Limbsaver but seem to be a little more rugged.

I've shot braked rifles from my buddies collection. BUT, I must wear plugs and muffs to keep my ears safe. |
