LimbSaver Classic Precision-Fit Recoil Pad for Wood Stocks

I bought this for an 870 Express 12 Gauge Magnum with wood stocks circa 1989. I use this primarily with hard kicking magnum turkey loads which can be punishing. The fit is perfect even though the chart does not show my model. I used the sizing chart provided on the Limbsaver web site to check the size and it was right on. No gaps or overhang/underhangInstalling this is easy. Best to add some dish soap to the screw holes to make inserting the screwdriver and removing the screws easier on the old one. If not, you will chew up the old hard rubber on the old pad. Same thing for installing the new pad. A little dish soap and everything slides together with little effort.I have used other Limbsaver products and it works to rreduce the felt recoil by absorbing the initial impulse. Other have noted that the rubber is tacky, and it can drag on fabrics when you pull it to your shoulder. Especialy cotton garments. Less so on synthetic or polished fiber shirts and jackets.This is an easy and efficient upgrade to any hard kicking long gun. I recommend it.

This fit my Mossberg perfectly.

I’m not going to return it, but the fit is slightly off in some areas, either too much material or too little. Some areas it’s flush. I see they have a 700 option on the limbsaver website, but this says it’ll fit too. I went with this one, it’s not worth returning but it’s not quite perfect.

It definitely helps with recoil felt. Using on a Mossberg 500 12 gauge.

Excellent fit on Marlin 1895 sbl 45 70. Helps with felt recoil.

I took a chance buying this to replace the recoil pad on an old Remington Sportsman 78 long action. It had a cheap and lousy wood stock that I was refinishing for fun. The old recoil pad was a universal one that I had trimmed to size, but had cracked over the last 20 years. Sadly, this one was smaller than my original stock. I ended up putting it on an old Savage 99 that we intend to shoot. It wasn't a match fit for that stock either, but was close enough for shooting.Limb saver is my top choice for recoil pads and I highly recommend them. They make shooting far more comfortable. I have a slip-on limb saver pad on an old Mosin-Nagant rifle and it is just pleasurable to shoot now.

I bought this for my Remington 1100, model year of 1968 with a Woodstock and a slightly curved rear back plate. That curve is typically peoples bane, some people will saw their shotgun flat to get these things to fit or resort to other means. No modification to the gun is necessary. The chart on the manufacturer‘s website will actually point you to the wrong part number if you have one of these older guns with the curved rear would stock. After calling Limbsaver tech-support pointed me to model 10800 for my shotgun. Now this model will only be dimensionally perfect with two exceptions that you will have to make The following alterations on your own: 1: only the top screw hole will line up perfectly you will need to drill a new bottom one with a quarter inch drill bit, again you’re drilling this hole into the limb saver not your firearm, I never modified my 1100 in anyway I just put a new hole into the recoil pad and you can’t even tell him the final product. 2: The model 10800 is flat and won’t fit the curve of the wood out of the box here is what you do, you will place it in a pan of boiling water and heat it for about five minutes, I then pulled the recoil pad out of the boiling water with tongs and immediately into a towel, Grasping it from both ends with the towel while it’s still hot bow the recoil pad, It will take firm and even pressure but you don’t have to muscle it too hard. And it’s easy to go too far you only need to add a very slight bow. Keep checking it against your 1100 and when you have the perfect curve simply attach it Using your new lower screw hole and stock upper. Surprisingly I got it right the first try, like I said don’t add too much curve it looks like you need more than you really do. As you can see from the attached pictures it does not stick out anywhere, top, bottom, sides, The model 10800 matches the width and height of the wood perfectly you just need to add the slight bow if your 1100 has the curved rear plate. I’ve been all over the Internet and I’m almost convinced that I’ve got the first working solution with this procedure!
