I've learned something new today.🤗 Me too. I vaguely think it’s something about recoil pads…… I like my flip-flops the best, but if weight is not an issue the Decelerators work very well and seem to last the longest.

Pachmayr 1" Decelerators & Limbsaver 1" Airtechs both excellent Pads in my Experience... no goo issues on the Limbsaver replacements so far... love the Red Decelerators on a Win 70... I had goo issues on the LimbSavers until I read a rumor that bore cleaner on fingertips while handling Limbsavers was the cause. So, I started paying careful attention and noticed I was being careless. I can't say for certain, but can say I stopped touching recoil pads when cleaning rifles and the problem seems to have stopped for me. Happy Hunting

Pussy pads are for gay caballeros. I agree you need to fire one of Safari Kids 7 lb 500 A2s with a steel butt plate

I believe they did fix the original Limbsavers a while ago. Looks like they have since come out with a newer pad as well. I had one of the original gooey ones. Damn thing glued itself to the carpet fibers and I ended up looking like I had Tina Turner in a headlock.
Worst pad ever was the standard 'Magnum" pad included on HS Precisions synthetic stocks. I spoke to their guys on the phone who laughed it is called the magnum pad because it makes every rifle feel like a magnum.
I go Pachmyer every time now.

For those who haven't tried a scope on their rifle, I tried this scope and can see a lot better. Give it a try. By the way, Decelerators are great, Limbsavers are crap. Flip flops are most cost effective ( use pieces of foam flooring). GD

Might also add that I'm something of a spelling Nazi:
It's Pachmayr, as can be seen if you look at the rear surface of the pad....

I’m also a big fan of the Pachmayr Decelerator. Another I like and use a lot are Kickeez pads, especially on shotguns that get shot a lot.
I also recommend wearing boots while hunting, as I slip less than I do in dress shoes.

I prefer the checkered steel one's like on my 300H&H . With a checkered steel one you know for sure the gun went off.
Also primers in your reloads help immensely with accuracy with almost every bullet brand.

I guess recoil pads are sold in the same part of the store muzzle brakes are, the feminine hygiene section lol

PachMayr and Kick Eez. are both very good. I've used them for over 30 years.

I'm a fan of the PachMayr Decelerator recoil pads. Used them for decades on all my rifles.

All of my rifles have good recoil pads and I don't problems with recoil. If any of our Campfire members haven't tried these pads... They really do make a big difference. And water is wet.....
