Recoil Pad Question
« on: July 11, 2007, 04:11:59 PM »
Has anyone used the Limbsaver slip-on recoil pads? I just bought a handi in 500 S&W and I want to put a recoil pad on it, but I'm not sure if I should get the slip-on or the grind-on.

Tim,

I was going to ask you for a picture of the slip on, and ask you how you like the slip on, but then I looked at your pictures and they are all of the precision fits. I have bot all precision fit's myself and really like 'em, but have shyed away from the slip on and even the grind to fit ones as I'm not sure I will like the looks of those.

So...do you have any slip on ones?  How about grind to fits?

Thanks.

Dave

I have one small slip-on(Walmart $20), it fits Handi stock real good, a little loose on the BC, but is ok for range work.

I have several grind-to-fits, the BC stock below has been cut to fit on a belt sander, the Ultra below that, I just ground the mounting plate to fit the stock contour, then tapered the sides just enough to make it look ok, I wanted it left full so it has a bigger footprint on the 45-70 it's on since I shoot hot loads in it. ;D

One thing I don't like about the Limsaver is they're real sticky, grab clothing, and they'll sorta melt/deteriorate if left upright with weight on them on some surfaces, so I bought some Kick Eez Slick Eez, put a coating on the sides of the pad and it will protect it, a little on the butt surface will make it slick, I don't coat the entire butt surface, just enough around the edges so it doesn't grab my clothing when thrown to the shoulder. ;)

ArmorAll/recoil pads

Tim,I was reading about the use of KickEze in the FAQ, just for info, if you do not have or are to cheap(me) to buy it, a single squirt of AmorAll works ,as fine as frogs hair. It takes the sticky out .    ::)  Doug
