LimbSaver Recoil Pad Nitro Grind to Fit 1-1/2" Thick Rubber Black

I had a lever rifle built with a 22" barrel, 8-1/2lb 50-100-450 and installed a thinner limbsaver pad on it. Shooting 530gr hard cast put a dent in your shoulder. A year later I had another 50-100-450 built on a lever rifle with an 18" barrel, 7-1/2lbs and installed this nitro limbsaver on it. Made a big difference considering the latest rifle is a full pound lighter.I am now ordering another nitro pad to install on the first rifle. Very good pad. Tames a lot of felt recoil, more of a big push with the nitro pad.

I run it on a 458 lott, I also tried a $200 hydraulic recoil pad, I like this better, installing it again, even though it means being out that $200 and I had to buy a new one of these as I ruined the last one to give that hydraulic pad a little more length of pull.So I've bought two of these for this gun as I come back and settle on this as the final pad.Works great, and the large pad size is great, I like the longer length to it but that'll be person dependent.

Went on, with only minor alteration. Have not gone to the range with that yet. Looks good.

I upgraded to this from a standard recoil pad on a Remington 700 in .308. Previously, I would come home with a bruised shoulder after putting 100 rounds downrange. I took this out for the first time today and found that my .223 AR-15 now has more kick than the .308. I am still blown away by how well this recoil pad actually works. I left the range without a sore shoulder for the first time ever.This is the best investment for shooter comfort you can make hands down. I would buy it again without a second thought. (I actually plan on buying a slip fit one for my AR-15 as well.)

Grind to fit on a belt sander. Take your time and follow the taper of the stock. Came out petty nice. 5'4" tall 44y old man with a medium build at 170lbs. Can comfortably shoot a box of 25 3" 12ga BB, 15 rds of 3" 00 Buck and 10 rds of 3" slugs. No bruises or tenderness anymore. Definitely makes the weapon pleasant to train with. By far the best $35 I spent to improve a custom shortened 12ga mossberg 500 with a 12"lop (10.5 with out) with the nitro recoil pad. Simply awesome. Doesn't mean I can shoot better, but now I can practice to become better.

My second "LimbSaver". Now I have one on my 30-30 (I put a slip-on LimbSaver on it 5 years ago), and one on my Mosin Nagant.( 7.62x54 similar in size and power to a 30-06 or a 308. Take your time fitting it to your stock. You can make it look like it is made for your gun. I used two different files, my dremel, and sand paper. Fits great and looks custom. Hint: Measure 4 times and cut once. Test-fit often.It does so much more than it implies. I am a small built guy, 5'9" tall and 155 lbs. At one shooting, in less than two hours, I put 15 rounds through my 30-30 and 40 rounds through the Mosin (It's mounted in an Archangel stock). It may as well been a 22 cal. I know I could put another hundred rounds through with no problems.It's worth every penny you pay for it. I will be buying more for a couple other guns.

Screw holes line up on my shotgun perfectly, filed it down on a bench top belt sander. Its messy…. But I guess I expected it to be so it wasn’t an issue. Cost of saving my shoulder.

I own ~ a dozen Limbsavers and prefer them over all other brands. The trouble with the nitrol model is that is has so little compliance. For it to compress half way it would break the shoulder with 1000 pounds of force. I thought thicker would be better, but I did not know they would change the density. The Limbsaver 1" thick Large will absorb much more recoil than this Nitro 1.5" thick rock hard monster. I am going to have to not just grind, I will have to drill holes in the rubber to get the compliance up. Hooke's law for springs is F = -KXI have to drill holes to make the K of this spring to be down in the usable range.
