IMHO, it looks pretty darn good on a Classic Edge stock when the base color is brown & you have the black speckle finish.

irfubar- Outstanding gun - and ram! Details on the rifle. (and ram) Skane, The rifle is a VZ-24 Brno action with a MRC barrel in 9.3x62 cut to 20" The bottom metal is 1909 Argentine, rust blued, timney trigger, XS aperture rear sight, NECG front sight, the stock is a ebay special blank. I built it myself. The ram is a California bighorn from south central Oregon, I drew the tag 5yrs ago, and it was the toughest most rewarding hunt of my life! I scouted and guided myself, it was a high desert environment and it was 90 degrees everyday I loved every minute of it!

BSA, Love your M70's! I think red pads add a touch of class to most rifles. Another one of mine,

For me they do best with darker brown stocks. A BRNO ZKK 375 H&H. An FN 9.3x62. A G series M70 416 Rem. .

when is a red recoil pad appropriate? When you can't find a lime green recoil pad.

When you grew up watching your father and uncle hunt with old Ruger M77 rifles. The red pad always stood out to me, so I like it on most my wood stocked rifles...

Yep, that's the one. Except one had a one-piece Leupold base and rings with a gold ring vxII 3-9x40 and the other with weaver base and rings with a cheap tasco scope from the 70's. It is my hope to own both of them someday, but I imagine my cousin will want his dad's gun.

Have a number of rifles with red recoil pads and I do like their looks. Only problem with mine is they are on old rifles and the pads have hardened. Not much give to them. A couple of them had the X waffle thru the sides and with these I've cut out the waffle and inserted a block of soft rubber. LOL, cut and shaped from 99 cent black flip flop rubber sandals.
