Title: American Ruger 30-06 Limbsaver
Post by: dmv9 on August 15, 2013, 09:17:30 PM

I can't find anything online, does anyone know what limbsaver I should use? I just want to reduce the recoil a little.

Also, anyone used their Sharpshooter XRing?

Hmm. I don't have a belt-sander nor access to one anymore.

What happens if I don't grind the recoil pad?

It'll overhang the end of the stock and hang up on anything and everything.  You're going to want to grind it, IMHO.

You don't need a belt sander. It is nicer, but you can block sand by hand.

:yeah:

It's a pain to do it by hand, but I've done several rifles that way.  Be sure to put masking tape on the stock or else you'll end up doing a refinish job on it when you're done.

I would think they make a slip on that would fit.
