ROSCOELeather covered Recoil Pad
My stock just arrived today from a little augmentation by my friend Gary Stiles. Told Gary to make it bigger and softer than the factory pad. Here are a few photos of his work.
The first two photos make the color look much brighter that it is in reality…guess it is that funky flash stuff. The last two look closer to the real thing. I am very happy with how the pad turned out. I believe the leather is Bear hide and colored to some secret recipe that is only used on fine rifles and shotguns. LOP is now perfect for me and the gun is ready to return to Africa in a few weeks.
Anyone looking for something similar can contact Gary at (724) 479-9945. Evenings is the best time to catch him as he is typically working on some gun project in his workshop. This cost me less than Chapuis wanted for the crappy rubber block they install in France….
Thanks again Gary!
