Air Tech Recoil Pad

[Gunner46]

Yeah, ya can't really trust the MFG 'told ya it would fit'. Go to the templates, there's just too much variance in the manufacturing process. But still...

I just got back from the range about 2 hrs ago, having tapped off almost 80 rds of 7mm/08 & 308 Win, and my shoulder shows absolutely No signs that I shot at all. I could have never said that, with even 30, before I installed that pad.

Just 'My' experience...............

Anybody interested in purchasing a used airtech recoil pad (Pictured above) Off my Mossberg 500? Shot a less than 10 times last year and then spent the year in the safe. Decided I need to shorten the stock and the airtechs are not grindable. 30 bucks? CL

Well, it's been awhile since I 1st posted this and back then I told y'all I was going to buy a couple more for some other rifles of mine. I did.

Ruger 96 44Mag: Light, light little rifle that plain just hurt to shoot for more than a few rounds, because of the rounded metal butplate. Took a saw to it, squared it off and found a pad that was as close as I could. Sanded it down a tad. REMARKABLE !

Rem 600 308Win: This one has also been a brutal kicker, as well as being Loud as He!!, but I finally got it to shoot sub MOA's after many many many trials & errors. Not as remarkable a difference as the M96, but it's not a 7Mag recoil anymore either. More like a 30/30.

I'll be the first one to admit that the Ruger M77's and M77 MKII's, and Hawkeye rifles have horrible stock designs and equally horrible butt pads.
I used to own an M77 in .300 Win Mag, and it was a monster to fire and feel the recoil. The stock was designed wrong, and that thing hurt.
Now, when I later got a Weatherby Vanguard synthetic in .300 Bee, it wasn't exactly pleasant to fire, but the felt recoil was a lot less due to a much better designed Monte Carlo stock, with a cheek rest. I could shoot that Bee all day. Unlike my Ruger M77, which i would put down after the third shot.
Hoo-Ah for much better butt pads!
