I have a Sako with the worst recoil pad I’ve ever seen. This rifle is kinda cool, because it’s serial # 8. Will I hurt the value of it to change the recoil pad? I found one that says Sako. It supposed to be a factory Sako pad.

I’d put the new pad on. If your replacement is not a genuine Sako pad...correct for that rifle, please know that customshopinc.com sells them.

The Pachmayr F325 is very close in appearance and a much better pad than the original. Much less $ than Custom Shop gets for the Sako pads as well. If the gun isn't a collector quality rifle I'd run with that.

My L691 has a solid rubber pad that really has no give after 25 years. I wear a PAST field shield when I shoot it on the range.

If it were me I’d switch out the pad but keep the old one in case you ever want to sell it. Serial # 8??
