Sims Limbsaver, I have a Pachmayr and a Sims and will buy only the Sims in the future.I like the Sims Limbsaver but had to replace two of them because after a period of time get gummy.

My rig was about 21fps recoil velocity and 59 lb/ft energy......and it sucked to shoot off the bench. Go peek at your bedding in 150-200 rounds.....lol.

Do you feel that's from the way or climate they are stored in? Or do you feel it due to the muterial or the way they are manufactured?

Both was stored in a gun safe. Both lasted about 3yrs. then started to get gummy. I replaced them both with Limbsaver pads again and will see. If these don't last I will e-mail limbsaver and replace the with the with a different recoil pad.Sims Limbsaver, I have a Pachmayr and a Sims and will buy only the Sims in the future.I like the Sims Limbsaver but had to replace two of them because after a period of time get gummy.

If neither the decelerator or limbsaver do the trick.. get a quality Vais muzzle brake..
" Quality Vais " I have had or have 20 plus rifles with Vais Arms brakes installed.I used to run MagnaPort muzzle brakes, switched to Vais Arms 13 or so years ago. Had them on everything from 6.5-284 to .375 Ultra even ran one on my heavy .308 Baer. Thousands and thousands of rounds through them and as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow morning, I can't tell the difference between the two. Purchasing the Harrell's threaded blank for $30.00 and have a smith install it for 100-125.00 is almost a 100.00 bucks cheaper than having Vais install one( Muzzlebrakes.com ) don't forget the shipping to them on top of it. Vais is a good brake and so is Harrell's but I'll take that 100.00 bucks I saved and throw it towards a Jewell trigger. ;)
I've blown the baffles out of the bottom side of a Vais brake in a .300 Win mag. I've also had a custom tactical .300 Win mag delivered from the smith with a Vais installed took it to the range to zero it, fired 5 rounds and never hit the paper. On the fifth round my buddy jumped at the bench next to me and said he got spattered with some type of shrapnel. Upon inspection and some measuring, the smith had fitted a Vais brake with a 7mm bore on my .300 Winchester and had over looked boring it out before shipping it. The brake took it like a champ. Sent it out for a quick fix and it was up and running. I sold that rifle and since then it has won the Idaho state sniper Challege/comp.

I bought Vais brakes from Midway or Brownells, and most gunsmiths I know will do them for 100.00. I have never sent away a gun for a brake of any kind.
I always had Vais them selves install mine with the acception of maybe 6 or 7 the custom builder did them selves. McMillan, Bryant Custom, Pac-Nor etc.

Was this done by a smith here in WA? There was a guy who did this to a number of guns which I know of.
