Recoil Pad suggestion for 300 RUM.. ?

[MDGrand]

Ok guys.. tested the HS precision stock I put on the 700 RUM..

I seem to remember talking with someone about the Bell & Carlson stocks coming with a Pachmayr decelerator?

Look at it on the bright side, when you get the Uncle Mike's pad replaced you can use it to pound nails when you can't find a hammer! lol

LOL.. very true. That pad is pretty much like having no pad at all.. I guess they figure that most people will be marrying the stock to a .308.

And yes.. I remember the Bell and Carlson convo.. But I still like the HS precision better and still would have got one.. mainly because of the aluminum bedding. As long as you torque to the same specs, you can take the rifle apart from the stock, put it back together and get minimal point of impact change.. plus you do not have to bed any of the stocks with any sort of resin or the like.

the limbsavers are nice, but be warned....an uphill shot and a low eyerelief scope is gonna net you some stitches.

I have plenty of eye relief so, I should be ok there.. but as far as the uphill shot.. is that because of the anti muzzle jump technology they brag about?

Bell and Carlson also use an aluminum bedding block....I torque my stock to 65in lbs and the point of aim doesn't change at all, I have taken the action from the stock multiple times in a day when I was adjusting the trigger. I've used no resin in the stock although B&C says I can if I like/want/feel I need to.

I've gotta decelerator on my .338winmag, and a limbsaver on my BIG gun...

Both work very well, and are among the better recoil pads you'll find...but I'd take the decelerator every time for a hunting rifle. I've done 50rnds off the bench of *near-max* 250gr loads out of my 338winmag with no bruising--in one sitting. Shot trap the next day. I wouldn't think of doing the same thing with the old factory pad on my father's 25yr old Sake .338.

Never had any problems with eye relief with my limb saver slip on, and yes take off the stock pad.

Well, I am another happy limb saver customer.. Slipped it on over existing rock hard pad, added about 3/4 more to length of pull which is pretty manageable and still feels ok.. Biggest difference is punch.. Now.. it still shoves ya!.. But now it doesnt bite. Shoulder is not sore, which was already bruised, I'm a believer. Thanks everyone.

Still a little concerned about it not being real durrable as it is a slip on and perhaps I will install a permanent one day.. but for now, I just take it off when done shooting so it keeps is grip ability and does not become stretched and so I can share it with my 7MM Rem mag which is another kicker.

Limb Savers are AWSOME.................

I have one (slip on) on all my guns. It reduces the recoil dramatically.

I have a Pachmayr Decelerator pad in my winchester mod 70 in 300 rum works great. way better than the stock pad. I'm putting them on all my rifles now.
