GSP, Yes, not enough time, gonna try not to let this pad bother me too bad now that it may not be original to the gun, depends if it starts to grate on me, I did manage to slip out and sneak up on a button buck in the fog and bust him a 55 yards with the old M-71 in 348 I got from BSA, BOOM flop, the old 250 gr Barnes wrecked his world.

Two of my pre'64 M/70's have solid red Winchester pads, I find them very practical when leaning a rifle against a tree/fence barn etc. while hunting. Not as slippery as the steel buttplate and the rifle is less likely to fall over. Not as slippery and may be a bit more practical yes, but un-fooled with factory 'cool' trumps comfort to me.

Reading Winchesterpoor's cloverleaf stock wants has caused me to have to ask a couple questions.
My pre-64 300 H&H has a red Winchester pad, was that stock cut and a pad added?
Did 300 H&H's come from the factory with a pad?
Thanks Men.

...the old pad is hard but in very good shape, probably an add on.  ... How about replacing the hard pad with a LimbSaver? Keep the old pad, if you think it still has value. Or better yet, get the same look with a red pachmayr decelerator, but get better recoil reduction than the hard one. However, the hard one probably doesn't bother gunner....  The old pad is hard but not cracking or split yet, I'll just leave it be, and VEERRRY funny on the 'hard ones' Pal.

Very nice pads there Bob, had our old buddy Karnis put a red Silvers pad on the walnut stock for my Heym Mauser in 9.3-62mm, hell, you can barely feel those 320 Woodleighs when they leave at 2400!

Gunner that's a beautiful rifle buddy. I wouldn't change a damn thing...

gunner if I were to change out a pad, the Winchester replica is how I'd roll. Those are some nice pads. I think Galazan sells those under Winchester license.
Silvers are nice as well!

Many Thanks BSA and Bob, the jury is still out on the old girl, may just have to sentence her to life with no parole here on the farm , if it didn't shoot so damn good it would be cake to let her walk.

The pad is not original. Just look at .30 cal pre-WWII British Mauser actioned rifles almost none had recoil pads. It is not needed on small bore of reasonable velocity like .300H&H.

Ok,Gunner,I think the SG is the one on the left. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/Mobile%20Uploads/2AED37F6-15CD-4184-8CA7-57021583A1BE.png) Here ya go Donsm70 if the picks show up, the little Hornet is on the right.
