help w/ recoil pad for Zel PRS adapter

[raider1v1]

Im trying to find what limbsaver pad would fit on the zel adapter but cant seem to find it specifically. I just find some references, but nothing concrete or new. They are all from 2010/2011.

Does anyone know what one will fit? Id like to use a limbsaver over the pachmayr

I think they were specially made for Zel.

Its a Pachmayr F325 Large Field Pad, if its straight out of the box with no fitting it's easy. Give limbsaver a call to cross ref. F325 to there model.

Re: help w/ recoil pad for Zel PRS adapter

well limbsaver thinks that this is the right pad.

https://www.limbsaver.com/store/product.php?productid=16237&page=1

the limbsaver 10101 pad that fits - Rmgtn 700 ADL/BDL, 7600, 870,1100,11-87 Syn.

that looks right, but i cant be sure until i try it i guess. i cant get ahold of anyone at zel customs.

Re: help w/ recoil pad for Zel PRS adapter

Been down this road. I had a Zel PRS adapter on my OBR with a Limbsaver Grind-to-Fit pad. Below is what I had ordered from Brownells to make this work.

100-006-322
TACTILITE M/P ADAPTER

902-000-074
10543 LIMBSAVER LARGE GRIND-TO-FIT PAD

I had ordered the adapter alone (it can be ordered with a Pachmayr pad attached), because I had read in other places the Limbsaver pad was a significant improvement over the Pachmayr due to its construction (Navcom polymer etc).

I recommend this combo. The Limbsaver pad is very comfortable.

Hope this helps.

you didnt have to grind it down did you? did you take a look at the 10101 rem 700 pad?

Re: help w/ recoil pad for Zel PRS adapter

I did not grind down the pad - just mounted it and went with it. From what I recall, I could have done some minor grinding to make it conform perfectly to outline of the adapter but did not feel it was warranted.

I am trying to recall why I did not go with the 10101 pad. I do know that I read quite a bit on this (including other sites) before taking the plunge.

Here is some additional threads on the subject from various locations:

If I recall correctly, mine ended up fitting like the second to the last picture on the first page of the following thread:

Re: help w/ recoil pad for Zel PRS adapter

Yes, I believe that was it. You can see where there is a little edge protruding from the pad over a portion of the adapter, but it is negligible in my opinion. If it was an issue, I'd simply round that edge a bit instead of wholesale grinding operation. The Limbsaver's recoil absorbing polymer is nice. Though I am no engineer, it seemed ideal for its intended purpose to me. Here is some background info on it - appears to be more than just rubber.

I am wanting to do the same thing I just put on a 243wssm upper and wanted to tame the recoil for pdog shooting.

I have recently had shoulder surgery and the .308 seems to kick a little harder than it used to lol. I am glad I came across this Brownell's is sold out so I may have to go direct from ZEL

I put on the PRS stock with limbsaver that Bushmaster uses on their BA50. It is a trimmer system than the Zel adapter and Bushmaster used to carry them as an additional order item. This link only shows the gun but you might have to call to see if they still offer the stock separately. http://www.bushmaster.com/firearms/BA50.asp
