I saw some kind of holder meant to keep the weight of the gun off of the recoil pad. Seems like whoever offered it makes recoil pads as well. Forgot to bookmark the site as per usual. If someone recalls who offers it, I'd appreciate a name and/or website. Thanks!

Just bought one myself. Backstop recoil pad. Backslide was the company. You buy the recoil pad that matches the recoil level of the rifle. The holder comes with it. 93 bucks shipped.

I take a piece of pool noodle or foam pipe insulation, slice it like a hotdog bun and put it on the recoil pad. Or store the guns muzzle down.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

So far I’ve just used thick carpet scraps under the recoil pads. Did store some muzzle down for a while.

Christ sake, If you gotta lay a pad down so your recoil pad doesnt get compressed just sell the damn thing. FWIW I have heard that if you actually take your rifles out of the safe at least once every 15 years. AND USE THEM..it does wonders for the recoil pads. The recoil kinda pumps them back up

The new Remington R3 pads or whatever theyre called are soft.
Wonder how theyll look 20 yrs down the road.
My reg pads have been fine.
Wonder what solvents/ oils helped break down other pads

Thanks. The Backstop/Blackfire "throne" looks like it might be specific to their pads. The pool noodle seams like a good temporary fix. I'll experiment with muzzle-down on a carpet scrap as well. And of course I need to shoot them more.
