For me they do best with darker brown stocks.

A BRNO ZKK 375 H&H.

Just kidding, they look great on synthetics and Remington's also


Old model 70's look good with their original red pads too:

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...

True. I forgot about those. I think Winchester and Ruger had the right idea:

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.
