After Market Recoil Pads....

PistolCity · 02-02-2008, 10:02 AM

I have a H&R 162 Buck model. Thing needs some work going to fix the forearm, debating on painting the stock and need to try and set a inlay in the forearm. The Forearm is for a screw and this gun snaps on so I need to plug that hole. And a new recoil pad, the other day I wrapped it up with some duck tape just to fire a load out of it. WHOA! That thing hurt, light field load kicked harder than a .45-70, I swear Im not making this up. Now part of the problem in myopion is the orginal pad is harder than the stock. Plus the weight of this gun, think Im going to pour some shot or maybe some sand into the end of the buttstock to add some weight. But what type of pad would you suggest? Looking at a pachmyr magnum.

If you can find one that's made-to-fit, buy it. If you can't there are a lot of grind-to-fit pads (LimbSaver is my favorite). One caution; B-Square makes a fixture for holding the pad as you contour it on a belt or disc sander. You may not need it but if you do, it'll cost about $75. I did mine without it but you'll need to be able to finesse the pad and the stock if you want to fit it without ruining anything. I don't know if any of the recoil pad makers include a grinding fixture (LimbSaver doesn't). You could make one if you needed to.

Got that covered this will be my 2nd recoil pad installation. bought the B-Square fixture and a belt/disc sander for the last job. Just wondering what would be a good pad for a heavy hitting gun.

ahhh.......
The limbsaver I put on my 8 lb 45-70 last summer worked VERY well, even with full-pressure loads. If you try one of theirs you'll like it!
