Recommend a drop-in (no work needed) replacement recoil pad for Remington 11-87?

I have never seen a perfect fit recoil pad for a wood stocked Remington. Synthetics, yes.

Ain't no such animal. At least not seen in my 78 years.

Limbsaver has a pad selection guide with full size drawings of pads so you can select a very close fit.........

So does Falcon Strike, they are almost like having a Gracoil, and and easier to install.

NO. Pads are fitted at factory. So pick your poison. Get a slip on that looks good or fit new one. Some may be close if your lucky. I really don,t get the poll.

Don't feel bad

I have replaced pads on several Remington guns and have found their pads to always come up 1/16" short on the length. It has something to do with a slight curve on the butt. I ended up buying an oversized Limbsaver and grinding it down to fit.

I have Kick-EEZ 302-5 MB and 302-6 MB grind-to-fit pads on some of my shotguns. They work very well at taking a good bit of the punch out of felt recoil, even on the Ithaca 37s that weigh 6.5 pounds. Here are a couple of the guns with these pads, the bottom gun with the thicker 302-6, and the middle one with the 302-5. I've found that the pre-drilled screw holes in these Kick-EEZ pads match 3 of the 4 shotguns that I've installed them on. The factory hole positioning on the Browning Auto 5 (pictured below before I installed the pad) didn't match so I glued a wooden dowel into one of the factory holes in the stock, then drilled a new one in the correct position. Grinding these pads to fit isn't too difficult if you have the right equipment, but I expect it could be a bit of a challenge, or at best a pretty slow process, if you don't.

I’ve tried six or seven pre-fit pads over the last twelve or so years on one rifle and the rest shotguns. Only one fit, on a Remington 700 ADL. I went to grind to fit on the others, the gunsmith I use is very reasonable.
