Can anyone give me a suggestion on where to find a good recoil stock pad for a 12 ga mossberg 500. I havn't had much luck, all the ones I find are cheap foam and look like crap. I live in upstate NY if that helps, I would order one online but I can't find anything that seems decent.
Limbsaver makes a good recoil pad. I just had one put on my nephews 20 gauge. He says it helps a lot. Midway USA carries them. Look them up on the web.
Keep the tradition alive, teach a kid how to hunt.
I agree with Kwack
I use a "slip on" recoil pad by Limb saver it work really well and can be moved from gun to gun easily. They have types for shotguns and rifles
Man I don't blame you for wanting a recoil pad on that gun.I have the same one and it kicks like a mule First time I shot it I was 10 and it flew out of my hands and knocked me on my back.I just try to not think about what is going to happen to my shoulder when i shoot it
Besides recoil another reason to add a pad is to make the rifle or shotgun a little longer, if you have a youth style weapon for a young shooter 'boy or girl' and as they get older you can add a pad to help the gun grow with them.
You can get them at Bass Pro and Cabellas. They work really well, but the one i had did wear some of the finish off the butt of the shotgun. If the recoil REALLY bothers you take it to the shop and have a good pad installed.
This is an old thread but I couldn't resist adding I have fired everything from 300 Win Mag to 12ga, 3 1/2 Magnum at deer and don't remember anything other than a "powder puff" touch on my shoulder when I pulled the trigger. Recoil pads are for the range. That's not a snub on the posters on this thread it's a fact. I'd spend $100 on a Caldwell Lead Sled or other similar product before I modified my firearm. I don't sell or otherwise recommend Caldwell Lead Sled. I simply mention the brand for purposes of clarity.
