Recoil Pad Question

Limbsaver pads have a steel insert and can not be curved.

The simple thing to do is to cut the stock and remove the curve, the fit a grind-to-fit pad of your choice.

Pachmayr says that you can heat and bend their pads, for what it's worth.

I am almost sure that Pachmayr requires their pads to be mounted on a flat buttstock. However, I agree the simplest thing to do is to trim or either place the curved buttstock on a disc sander and grind it to a flat surface with the desired pitch. Funny thing is that installation of a recoil pad properly is a bit more difficult than it appears.

Wal-Mart sells the Limbsaver under the Winchester name for ~$20. It's the same thing. Try one out and if you don't like it you know they'll take it back. One of these fit pefectly one my inhereted 742 Woodsmaster.

Kick eze will bend a little to fit the contour.

but after squarring it up, any pad can be fit , then it is just up to you picking from the many makes and styles.
