That makes a lot of sense...

To be honest when I think of Winchester 70s with a red recoil pad like that I think of the push feeds. I'd imagine maybe the 375 H&H pre 64 models might have had a solid red pad?

I'm looking at a 30-06 that already has been cut and has a ventilated, old school pad (and grip cap frown ) added to it if I can get it for the right price. Would def. fit one of those Pachmayrs to it since the damage is already done. But its good to hear the repros aren't really that bad.
