Before we start, a 45-70 is not what I mean by a big bore.
I fitted a Kick-Eeze Magnum recoil pad to my 500 Jeffery. It seems to be much more efficient at transferring recoil impulse to my shoulder, so now I get a sledgehammer effect, trying to separate my arm from my body.
Comparing it to my 416 Ruger [ to which I also fitted a Kick-Eeze ], the same, slightly milder, effect occurred. I changed the recoil pad on the Ruger back to the original Hogue.
The visible difference between the Hogue and the Kick-Eeze is the shape. The Hogue is concave, the Kick-Eeze is convex. Otherwise the Kick-Eeze is thicker and wider, and suggests better recoil absorption. It seems that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and instead I fell for the product marketing.
Please recommend your preferred recoil pad for big bore, one that is currently fitted and you can shoot, standing, at least four rounds in succession.
