Re: HS Stock recoil pad replacement
Thx mlh28,
But I did google search. I also went through all of the 200 something pages of Sniper Hide gunsmithing. The Limbsaver was mentioned extensively, however I prefer the Pachmyer Decelerator pads.
Probably gonna take the gun to a local smith and let him deal with it.

Re: HS Stock recoil pad replacement
Thanks Axeman,
I saw your posts earlier and I really like how your rifle turned out.
My problem is that my stock does not have a spacer system like yours does. Your stock, like mine, is tapered towards the butt. Your spacers make the recoil pad larger due to the increased taper.
I measured the rear face of my HS recoil pad. I measured 1 5/8 inches wide by 5 inches long. I'm thinking of going with the small or medium sized pad and sanding it down to fit. Pachmyer makes the decelrator pad with a metal insert, so I need to ensure that I don't grind down to the insert. My understanding is that metal insert increases in size when you go from small, to medium, to large. That's why I originally posted my question.
Thanks for the replies.
