I kind of lean toward the shorter barreled guns. The combo I just bought was a really good deal. It came with 2 24in barrels. I am considering the TDC in 20ga for my next purchase, however, after that happens I will be re-configuring the 24in mod. barrel that came with my 12ga combo into a 22in cyl. bore that I will use for both HD and a Camp gun. For sure I am gonna need a really good recoil pad for that stock. It be the same stock I will use on my Tracker II 12ga barrel. HELP ! I have heard a lot about the LimbSaver. Are these better than the ones that HR/NEF uses? Price is an issue, also. I may be able to find one in the Parts Room at Ahlmans, a larger local gun shop here in Minnesota. I guess I would just like some personal reviews from all you guys who have different types and why you like them.
If I find the LOP on the 12ga youth model is OK for me, can I fire slugs through the MOD. Choke barrel and have any accuracy say out to 50 yards or so? I have already planned on filling the screw hole with #6 shot. That will be especially helpful for balance too, I think. Thanks.

All I can say about the Limbsaver pad is that it is awesome. Better than the NEF pad? I would say there is no comparison. I had my doubts but I bit the bullet and bought one for my deer rifle. The difference in felt recoil is nothing short of amazing. I will be getting another one to put on my 12ga and I expect the same results. IMO don't settle for anything less. They are $30 or so at most stores and worth every penny of it!

Like TH said, No comparison between the NEF and the Limbsaver...you get what you pay for in the limbsaver... MTNMAN :wink:

I bought the limbsaver and love it! In fact I just bought another (slip on) limbsaver so I can move it from one gun to another. For your 2nd question. I have the youth model 20ga w/mod and it is certainly accurate enough for deer at 50 yds. The 12 ga. should be also.

Thanks Guys. I really appreciate your input. I was leaning toward the Limbsaver and you have helped me make up my mind. I think I read on their web site that they have a grindable pad. I will have to check it out. Thanks again.
