Reduce Felt Recoil Over 50 Percent with High Tech Rifle Recoil Pads

Perhaps it is time we stop whining about recoil! Fix it!

Honestly,  the fastest and least expensive way to reduce felt recoil from big game rifles  is to install a slip-on or grind-to-fit recoil pad that was scientifically designed to reduce that instant whack to your shoulder.  Yes you can use a heavier rifle. Not me.   Or a thread on device to your barrel, sure to give you an ear-ache. I’ll pass.

I have used both Limbsaver™ and Pachmayr Decelerator™ pads for the past 20 years to my great relief. I owned a heavy recoiling  Ruger M77 in.338 Winchester Magnum and still own and use my M77 African in .375 Ruger. One was fitted with a Limbsaver SVL Pad and the other was fitted with a Pachmayr Decelerator. Both cut my felt recoil by approximately 50% or so. Below is a video from Limbsaver.

I shoot these big guns off-hand in my t-shirt because the recoil is more of a push than a whack, thus making it easy for the shooter to absorb the recoil almost painlessly.

Even more,  you can reduce felt recoil on your young son or daughters deer rifle too. A  6.5 Creedmoor/260 Rem shooting a 120 grain bullet at 3000 ft/ sec creating about 14 ft/lbs but with a state-of-the-art pad the felt recoil is nearer to 7 lbs of felt recoil, less than a .243 Winchester.

Time to fix that rifle recoil is now!

Good Shooting!
