Recoil Pad for K Gun
I need to add an inch LOP for my new K Gun to fit me, I am 6 ft 3 inches (190cm) tall.

Have been thinking about this pad: Kick Eez Magnum (1.5 inch) as it would add enough.. Bad idea or something better?

Limbsaver have a really big pad out now.

Either 1.5 or inches.

Do you want recoil reduction or just length? Make sure you check out a limbsaver first as they are made from really soft rubber; really soft and squishy. If you are not concerned with actual recoil reduction, it doesn't matter what you put on the butt. I use Pachmyer Old English, or their softer one, forget the name. Decelerator. I hate it when my brain doesn't work, then it does.

I just ordered a Kick Eez Magnum recoil pad. It is 1 3/8 inch thick and should be perfect for my LOP. It is very soft and i believe mostly used by shotgunners. They material is called sorbathone. Not sure if it is similar to Limbsaver but they are both very soft...

Heard they wear out quicker (softer rubber mix) but that they reduce fealt (not actual) recoil more than other pads...

Anyone tried Kick Eez or similar?

I have a Kick Eez Magnum recoil pad on my 500NE Sabatti double, and it has made a world of difference.

I have been very pleased with the Limb Saver on large bores.

I ordered the Kick Eez pad (1.3/8 inch). But have read it comes apart (tears) easily for a lot of users. Krieghoff also reccomended something harder for a b5 gun but use kick eez on thier k80s for trap etc.

My big bore's all wear a decelerator. I tried a really soft pad on my .416 Taylor, it didn't have enough side support and would collapse sideways when shooting, throwing the shots 4" left at 50 yds.

My main concern is ripping or tearing of the pad. Anyone have experience covering such pads With leather? Should eliminate the problem...
