I learned years ago, to fix problems I encountered with my hunting rifles for my African Safari. 

My first fix was to get rid of the hard recoil pads. Enough of beating up my shoulder. Two of the best state-of-the-art pads to reduce felt recoil are SIms SVL® Recoil pads below

and Pachmayr Decelerator® Pads.

You can also purchase these pads as temporary slip-on’s Below.

Both reduce felt recoil up to 50% by absorbing the instant hard kick and giving you a softened kick over milliseconds of time in soft calibrated rubber.  In addition, these pads often add recoil structure to the rubber to reduce barrel rise. Smart hunter’s get it! And there are more brands you can check out online. 

Triggers

If you are experiencing trigger creep or a heavy trigger, your accuracy will suffer. There are often better triggers you can purchase.

I am a Timney Trigger fan.

And many triggers are drop-in types that take little effort to install. Timneys are adjustable and crisp. Below is a Timney for a Remington 700.

Fixing recoil and triggers will increase your accuracy so much that you will essentially have a customized and super accurate rifle. Really!

Good Hunting!
