LimbSaverClassic Precision-Fit Recoil Pad for Synthetic Stocks

Perfect fit that tamed the recoil of my firearm

Despite the product name, this is the same product as the Limbsaver Precision Fit Recoil Pad, which is printed on the packaging. It is an outstanding product--MUCH softer and more shock absorbing than the pad that comes from the factory on the Mossberg 590a1. I was getting a very mild soreness in my shoulders after putting 50 rounds at a time through my shotgun. It wasn't too bad, but this pad eliminated that. I could probably shoot 75 - 100 rounds now without becoming sore, and the recoil feels more muted. It's not an enormous improvement, but certainly noticeable enough to be a worthwhile upgrade.This part number (#10121) is the SMALLER of the two Mossberg-sized pads that Limbsaver makes. I had a full size synthetic stock, which would normally take the larger pad size. However, I wanted to reduce the length of pull for more comfortable shouldering of the weapon. I cut approximately one inch off the length of the stock in my table saw (using a 60 tpi fine cut blade). That shortened the length of pull nicely and reduced the end dimensions of the stock to 4-7/8" tall x 1-9/16" wide--EXACTLY the size the 10121 pad is designed to fit. Since I had cut off an inch of stock, I had to use an 1/8" drill bit to deepen the upper screw hole in the stock. I also had to drill a new lower hole (about 3/16" lower on the stock end than the factory hole). It worked great. I have a shorter length of pull and a much softer (Limbsaver) pad that fits so closely you would assume it came that way from the factory. If you look very closely at either side, there is about a fingernail's width of overlap where the stock is slightly wider than the pad for about 1-1/2" because the profile of the stock bulges just a bit more than the profile of the pad. It's so slight that even I--a confirmed perfectionist--am still totally pleased with the results.Simply put, it makes the entire shooting experience a little more comfortable.

Installed on a Panzer M4. While install is simple be advised I had to file down some of the plastic on the inside so it would fit in the stock. I was able to reuse the stock screws since this did not come with any but it all lined up and fight nicely. Definitely feels more plush than the factory pad so looking forward to taking it to the range.

Limbsaver says it will fit remington synthetic stock. It requires grinding with a dremil to fit. Took about an hour to fit the pad. I don't believe it will reduce recoil by 70 percent. It is better than the hard rubber pad remington had on the stock. This limbsaver is going on a 338 winchester mag caliber remington rifle. Hope it helps.

These fit the factory stock perfectly. As thin as the factory butt pad, but better recoil absorption. Works fine on a 338 Win Mag. A must-have for the Blaser R93 Professional synthetic stock. ( Note - this will NOT fit the R93 Offroad synthetic stock.)

The Limb Saver recoil pad is a very good investment for a rifle that needs to be tamed. I installed this recoil pad on my Tikka T3 Lite Stainless chambered in .30-06. This rifle was horrendous to shoot when I first purchased it. After adding this recoil pad it's no longer a burden to sight the gun in. The material is a rubber type consistency and slightly tacky/ sticky in feel. It is not a hard rubber though, it's more like a pillow in firmness. Installation is quick and simple. To install on my particular rifle it took only a Phillips head screwdriver. There is two visible holes in my factory rifle recoil pad. Just stick the Phillips screwdriver in as far as it will go in the holes nice and straight and unscrew both screws. Once removed the installation of the new LimbSaver recoil pad is the opposite. Installation takes under 5 minutes and quickly makes your rifle a pleasure to shoot in comparison to before.

I used the measurements from the butt plate from my 28 ga. Ruger Red Label O/U shot gun. Just needed to expand the top of each screw hole a touch with my Dremel Tool and it fits perfectly.

I put the Limbsaver 10121 on a Mossberg 500 with a synthetic stock that was bruising my shoulder. It works. As for fit, I suggest the following procedure: Remove the factory pad. Trace the stock onto a piece of paper. Print the Limbsaver templates. Check that that the templates printed to actual size by measuring. Tape the template onto a sunlit window. Place the stock tracing over the template. Both lines will show. You can see how the shapes differ. With all the variations of a gun model over the years, it is near impossible to look up which pad will fit. Just looking at the length and width is not enough. Do a trace. This model of the Limbsaver was about 1/8” oversize on the upper 1/3 of the stock for this gun. The lower 2/3’s was a close fit. I’ll take function over beauty. Customer service was responsive too. You may have to dremel or file the screw slots a little. Great product.
