Small...haven't installed it on a straight stock, but I've installed a couple on monte carlos. I just grind the base then taper the sides, leaving the full contour for recoil absorbtion.

Small....after you cut the cup off the stock... :wink: The small slip on works too, but is loose.

If you want a nice looking slip on recoil pad that fits better than the Sims, try the small Galco....it won't be as effective as the Sims, though.

Ah, that`s a nice one, but a little pricey? What size is that one? How much are the Sims around? Thanks Tim-Jack.

That Galco is a small. The Sims sell for $24...
