Yes, either the Pachmayr Old English or same solid design in the Decelerator compound. I like the red 1" (comes Med. Only)on a really classic kicking rifle but have used the brown also. For some odd reason, red only looks good to me if it is in the 3/4-1" thick range. I use the black if I stay at 1/2".
New England Custom Guns is offering pads in all three colors , sm, med, lg. Check them out.
HCR does nice work (I am in San Antonio) and I'm kind of a crank about pad fitting (on rifles, I do my own)--I think you're right to find someone who will produce a superior job.
