Title: Kick-eez/sorbothane
Post by: sisu on March 20, 2009, 01:14:06 PM: Just wondering if any body here uses this product in the pre-fit mode. I like to shoot my 06 and 45-70, but after 15 rounds it gets uncomfortable with the factory installed product. Would the recoil pad change be better than a shoulder recoil pad?

Just wanting some input.
Thanks, Sisu

Have one on my .270 and .257.
Makes the .257 kick like a .22.
