I believe LimbSavers absorb recoil more effectively but when cleaning your rifle be careful to keep fingers wet with copper solvent from touching the pads or they will become sticky.
I think they just break down over time. Had a couple do that. And I’m not big on cleaning guns.
Several rifles stuck to the carpet of my gun safe, damn near pulled the carpet out.
Haven’t had any trouble with the newer Air(maybe) models.
