Recoil pad for Rem 1100 with wood stock...

[Red Dobe]

I have found pads (R3) that are specifically labeled for synthetic stock 1100's. Do they make a decent recoil pad for a wood stock that can just be screwed on?

Yup. Sims and Pachmyer both make prefits that fit wood stocked 870s and 1100s.

HTH....

Be aware that wood stocks that came with plastic but plates are often different than those that came with factory recoil pads.

My stock has a plastic butt plate. How does that affect my choices?

 

[Shell Shucker]

The stocks that came with a plastic butt plate were longer and accordingly larger at the end than those that came with recoil pads as the overall length was often the same. Also the factory stocks with the plastic butt plate were most often curved on the end. The factory recoil pad stocks are cut strait.

If someone knows what prefit pads are a "bolt on" fit for the old plastic butt plate guns please tell us in detail.

I have a "plastic butt plate" stock with a recoil pad that has conformed to the curved stock. It has been ground to fit. It works for me as most 1100's are a little short to begin with. Most pro's will cut the end off strait before fitting a pad.

10102 I believe will work http://www.limbsaver.com/Technical/Templates/rptemplates/10102.pdf .

If that one does not work, I suggest printing them all and see if any match.

You may want to cut down the stock a little as putting on a pad will add about an inch and a half to the length of pull, but that may result in needing to buy a grind to fit.

Gun fit is priority.

If the gun fits, I'd not put a recoil pad on it.

Now I am biased toward Pach Declarators, still here is the deal:

I have seen too many folks stick a recoil pad on a shotgun, and they did not need one, especially on a Rem 1100, Win 1400 and some other examples.

I do not know what it is , still folks "have to stick stuff on guns".
I have seen folks stick a recoil pad on a gun, that don't work, so they do "this" and do "that" and sometimes mess up a nice stock - getting the LOP too short, or mess with Pitch and even Cant.

Later they get some lessons, tested for gun fit, and correct basic fundamentals...
The dad-burned gun they "had" bone stock 1100...all it needed was a piece of self stick moleskin on the stock to raise the comb.

No recoil pad, the raising of comb "fit the gun" and therefore recoil was lessened.
