The Limbsaver recoil pads available for these Ruger “boat paddle” stocked rifles make a huge difference. The newest version, Airtech #10803, is softer than the earlier version and they are both big improvements over the original factory pad. Same #10803 also fits the Tikka T3 series rifles.
On the Rugers, you’ll need to call Limbsaver (Sims Vibration Laboratory 360-427-6031) and ask for their free adapter plate that’s needed on the Rugers. I’ve got these Rugers in 22-250 and 280 Rem. Very simple and fast installation of the Limbsaver pad. They look good, fit good and work great.
