So I haven't shot my .204 Remington 700 in ten years. The recoil pad is horribly soft and sticks to everything, leaving black goo on everything it touches. I know this was a prolem with Remington years ago. I am wondering if anyone recently has had any luck from remington getting a replacement?
Should I just buy a new prefit recoil pad and let it go?

Try contacting limbsaver, I believe they were the manufacturer of those bad pads.

IYou can overcome the stickiness problem in the short term by liberally coating the recoil pad with cornstarch powder.

To be fair, it's not just Remington. I had a CZ (452 Silhouette) basically melt off, and the pad on my Pedersoli 86/71 is doing the same thing, large chunks are just falling off. Redneck here on the fire remedied the CZ by installing a new pad for me and it turned out great, I need to get ahold of him and send off the Pedersoli stock as well.

That is why when I use rubber it's made by Pachmeyer.

I just went through this exact problem a couple of weeks ago. I emailed Limbsaver and got no response. I ordered a prefit pad from MidwayUSA and it was nearly a perfect fit for my stock. Then about 3 weeks later Limbsaver contacted me and wanted pictures of the damaged pad. It was too late I had already tossed the old pad. They said they were sorry for the delay and were short staffed.

If I were you I would call Limbsaver and try to get a live person in customer service on the phone. They want to stand behind their product.

Limbsaver is great to deal with.

Give them a call later this morning, if I recall correctly they're in Washington so it's PST.

NOT disagreeing. The last one I bought was 1995. All others in 70-90s I never had one with a STICKY r pad.

Don't know ???

When they first started using limbsaver; late 90’s (ish) and the issue persisted until at least mid 2000’s (ish). It was a problem on quite a few of the first gen ti stocks.

Thank you AK

I still have several 700s and none of them suffer that issue. I'm so glad.
Sorry for anyone else.

I have an LVSF with a gooey pad. I contacted Remington a few weeks ago. They have dropped warranty work on everything made prior to the re-structure. They suggested that I contact Limbsaver.

I finally got around to calling Limbsaver two weeks ago. The lady was very nice and told me to email pictures of the pad and info on the rifle to warrantylimbsaver.com. I did and received a response the following day. The email gave the new pad number and advised that they would mail one to me the following week (this past week). I got a tracking number confirmation on Thursday, just as promised.

Pretty good service on a 20 year old product as far as I am concerned…

The original TI stock was common to have a sticky pad. They were the 1st ones I saw with the gooey pad. I replaced a couple pads on those.
