I have a Pacmeyr on two of my other weapons.. I really like them.. but I keep hearing about limb savers and Simms?

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

I know a lot of folks like the HS stocks but IMHO their the worst plastic stocks for transmitting recoil to the shooter.

What is your experience with the slip ons? I think I want a permanent one however, I wonder if those slip on's are just as effective and dont get loose or come off or shift?

I like the pacmyer the best, soaks up the recoil but not so soft that it gets damaged over time ( I know I shouldn't but it happens) from using the rifle as a trekking pole when climbing.

interesting you say that about the HS precision stocks.. I think if you get the factory HS recoil pad then yeah.. because mine is tough and it does hurt after just a few shots.
HS stocks are not plastic though.. woven kevlar composite.. aluminum bedding, US military Sniper rifles come standard with them.. so far I love mine.

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? :P
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?

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.

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.
