Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Recoil Pad Preferences- firm or mushy?

The solid pads begin to get hard around 50*. Once you hit 40* they are very hard and in freezing temps they are like blocks of plastic. The Pachmayer is excellent until you get to the point under hard recoil the pad is fully compressed and the stock smashes the large nerve running through your shoulder down into your arm.
I have a rubber Silvers on my .375W that I like very much.
