Buffalo Classic - recoil reducer?
« on: February 15, 2013, 07:58:08 AM »
i hear some folks are sticking weight tubes (lead or mercury filled) into the stock and/or replacing or covering the metal crescent butt plate with a recoil pad. 

please school me on both.

Idont know about the mercury recoil reducer I just put a slip on sims recoil pad and it does just fine to shoot with take it off to look pretty the sights are another matter mine set as high as I can raise rear site still shoots a little low at 50yds I need to replace the front site with a lower one andeven then Idont know if that would allow for 300yrd shots probably would need some type of tang style site for that.right now I just allow for it shooting alittle low and have shot a couple of deer out to about 120 or so no problem.

I just put a slip on pad on mine. They're cheap enough so when it starts not fitting I'll just stick another on.

I use trail boss and a lace on recoil reducer and a mercury reducer.
 
The lace on mostly for added LOP and to combat that stell plate.
 
The mecury is inside the stock so it's out of sight and does help.
 
9 grs of trail boss under a 500 gr postell is fun to shoot with this setup.

I've been wanting to find one of those nice lace on pads. I think they ad a lot to the appearance of the BC.

Padded the end of the stock hole with a piece of foam, poured in lead shot, padded the other end with foam.  Works good.  Filled my Handi-grip with rice and some foam in the back to balance it. 
Think as if you LIFE depends on it... IT does..!  Be Well...
