I have a Sims slip on recoil pad. Do NOT buy it at Bass Pro. You can get the same one at WalMart in a Winchester/Limbasver package for half the price. I bought the one at bass pro, saw it at Wal-Mart in that package and bought it, put it in the other package and took it back to Bass Pro. Saved me almost $20.

I'd recommend that you try a Shooter's Friend recoil pad. It slips right over your existing pad, only adds 1/4" to your length of pull and reduces recoil more than you can imagine. At only $17.95, it's a real bargain.

Thanks,

I just replaced the stock on my 11-87 with the Remington sure shot stock. It comes with the supercell recoil pad. Ordered it from Midway for about $62.00 I think. It definitely reduces felt recoil. I haven't hunted with it yet but I really like it so far.

I like the Limbsaver but haven't tried anything else.

 I use and prefer X Coil or Kickeez recoil pads.

The Limbsaver is a distant third.

I have had excellent results with Limbsaver products.

Give the folks at Kick-ez a call tell them what gun and they will fix you up. I have limbsaver's but bought kickez last year. I will be trading all of mine out for the kick-ez. They take the bite out a whole lot better!!!
